I am in contact with one woman that comes highly recommended on this forum but I will keep her name private as im trying to find information on the other breeder.
I fell in love with this 8 week old boy from a breeder upstate NY from the AKC site.
Her name is Kenia and her website is. www.dynastyyorkie.com
Im looking for any information on her as I really want her puppy but it scares me that I cannot find anything on her.
the puppy is 8 weeks old and is 1pound 3oz. She is telling me the pup should be around 3 1/5 pounds full grown. how does this sound to you guys?
thanks. which ever puppy I go with, i will post tons of pictures and videos! im not just using this forum to help find a dog, but will be an active member that contributes as well as ask questions! |
I'm sorry. I'm really not trying to give you a hard time but Dynasty Yorkie is something that you should steer clear of. I would not touch the health guarntee for one thing. They guarntee the puppy to live for 72 hours! If your puppy is found to have a genetic problem before the age of 1 year they will replace the puppy......not help with the expense of the problem. Many of the genetic problems that people like this are creating in the breed are not discovered until well after the first year. Do your really think you are going to want to return a puppy that you have had for several months or even 11 months due to a defect? Most people cannot return a puppy after a couple of days despite the fact that the problem could cost them hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
There is not one pedigree on the site that I could find. They are advertizing and stating that their dogs will be 3.5lbs. For one thing there is no way they can guarntee that weight. Tiny dogs do not breed well. A female of that weight cannot be bred safely and if someone was foolish enough to breed such a dog they would have serious problems.
The site looks like a typical puppy mill website. They can make some nice sites but the facilities are usually bad. They sometimes hire a broker to sell the puppies for them so their actual location is not found. You notice they do not give an address only a region. A reputable breeder would have much more info on their kennel.
If that is the kind of people you want to give your money to it is certainly your decision. If you had been on YT for any length of time you would see the very sad stories of people who have purchased from such breeders. If you are in a hurry to get a puppy they certainly will be able to help you since they breed the life out of their stock.
The site is also telling you a big lie about the AKC accepting off color Yorkies. Some Yorkies do change to a different shade as they mature but it is not condoned by the YTCA or the AKC as this person states.
Any Yorkie puppy is adorable. It is what is lurking under that adorable little furry coat, that could cost the life of that poor fur baby, that you need to be on the look out for. Sometimes good things are worth waiting for.
You would do yourself a favor by contacting the clubs that are through out NYS. It may take a little longer but at least you would be dealing with true professionals that know and understand the genetics of the breed.
