Just an update: my stepdaughter texted me last Friday to tell me that she just brought home a Yorkie puppy. She said the pup is 8 weeks old, and that they purchased her from Fancy Pups! I called her and asked about the purchase; she explained everything to me that WE had been told in 2009 when we bought our Graysee from Fancy Pups. I haven't heard back about the vet visit that's supposed to take place today, to have the new pup checked out. I'm praying that she will be given a clean bill of health, just as our Graysee was, and still is.
I wanted to share the following email exchange that I had with Fancy Pups a couple years ago:

No, we do not breed yorkies on the premises. We sell puppies for other individuals who we have known for a long time. We do offer a written health guarantee with each of our pups, so that you can take the pup to your own vet. If your vet finds any problem, we will be glad to refund your full purchase price of the pup.
AKC does not recognize "teacup" yorkies, but that does not mean that they do not exist. Usually "teacup" just refers to a yorkie that will be less than 4 lbs when it is full grown. Many AKC yorkies fit into this category. Usually pups that are 12 weeks old and weigh less than 1 lb. 8 oz. are considered "teacups".
We have some absolutely beautiful yorkie puppies that will be ready to go home with you starting on Friday, Dec. 10. We will have their pictures up on our website hopefully by tomorrow evening (Thursday, Dec. 9) by 6 p.m. Along with their pictures, we will also have their weigh, birthday, and price. Usually the males cost from $450 to $1500, and the female will cost from $650 to $1500. The prices range greatly, according to the weight and overall appearance of the pup. Usually the very smallest ones are the most expensive. These pups are very delicate and we don’t recommend these for small children. Please check our website www.fancypups.com for more information about our pups. We try to show our pups from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. daily. Since this is our home, we would greatly appreciate your calling before you drive out here. We want to be sure and be here when you arrive. You can find directions to our home on our website www.fancypups.com. Just look on the “Contact Us” page for a Google map. These will be the last pups that we will have before Christmas, so you might want to consider purchasing one before they are all gone. We would be glad to take a deposit ($200) on a puppy on the phone by credit card so that we can hold the pup for you until you can get out here. However, we do not take deposits until after the pictures are on our website (After 6:00 p.m. Thursday evening). Then we know which pup you are placing a deposit on. If you get out here and decide you would like to change pups after making a deposit on another one, we will gladly let you change your mind. Sorry, but we are unable to hold a pup until Christmas for you. Warm regards, Jimmie and Jon Roscoe 281 489-3663 www.fancypups.com

Do you actually breed your Yorkies there on the premises? Do you have the parents on-site for people to meet? You advertise AKC/ACA registration, and that you occasionally have "teacup" Yorkies, but the AKC does not recognize the term "Teacup Yorkie". Do you get your "teacups" from other sources?
