A few weeks ago, I visited Trena's kennel and placed a deposit on a male puppy of hers. The plan is to pick up the puppy next week (it will be old enough then). I was very impressed with the cleanliness and Trena's apparent wealth of knowledge. The mother appears very healthy and energetic; all the Yorkies I saw appeared energetic & actively playing, except for the sire, maybe he was just very tired then. The dogs were well groomed, and clean, with short cuts. All were quite happy!! The sire, a very tiny Yorkie (under 3 lbs.) had sparkely eyes and showed no sign of distress, but he didn't want to get up on his feet - I observed him being weighed. He did not appear to be hurting or in any distress, just didn't get up on his legs. Are there times when this breed just likes laying around, maybe like a bloodhound likes to do? I have been reading all the posts and books I can get my hands on and want
to be as sure as I can that I get a healthy pup. Is anyone happy with the pupspurchased from her? When a dog is "pet-quality", does that mean that the
coats are not capable of being long?????? I am very early-retired (spine
disease) and will have the time to attend to the needs of a longer coat.
Do you think it will grow out ok? The puppy's parents are pictured on her
website - Kim and Tatum. They are so adorable! If someone has the
time, could you take a peek at the pics and tell me what you think of them?
Does Tatum's legs look like what is referred to as a "red legged Yorkie"?
Maybe this is just the quality of the pic. I didn't get a good look at the sire's
leg color at the visit. Please do not misunderstand, I have
nothing bad to say about this breeder!!! My first impression was very
favorable! I am just very concerned because I have no experience with
this breed (used to have weimaraners) - a big change for me. Trena seems
very sincere. I'm just a worry-wart. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks. |
I have gotten 3 precious puppies from Trena. One little teacup poodle died of a congenital bowel defect. Trena was heartsick and gave us our choice of the next litter. The new puppy is grown now,as is my first puppy, a tiny yorkie named Bijou. Bijou has been the picture of perfect health for 6 years. The new poodle has had knee surgery. I think Trena is a good breeder. Her kennel is the cleanest I have ever seen. Smells like a hospital. And I know she loves her puppies. We miss our first little poodle very much but the new one is precious and has a sweet temperament, as does the yorkie. If I were to get another dog, I would definitely get it from Trena. She is ethical and cares for her dogs very well.
