She has a health guarantee, I have spoken to a reference she gave me and the woman gave great reviews. She is willing to have someone bring the pup to Buffalo for me. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I do have a photo, just not sure how to attach.
Many Thanks!! |
Here's the link to her website (specifically the page about the parti carrier yorkies):

You want my honest advice? What *I* would do? If so here it is...
Pass on this pup. The pic of the parents actually posted of them "conceiving" kind of makes me go, "What? Really? You posted that?"
*She breeds AKC dachshunds; how did the yorkie get in the mix? At the bottom of the page it talks about a friend in FL* Don't like that at all
*She appears to either broker these Yorkies or breeds Yorkies as a side note to her dachshunds - not good either way, IMO
*That price is outrageous for what you are getting
Okay, with all of that said, what I *would do* is pass on this one and research some NY breeders that are listed on the ytca.org website. You just lost a precious baby of 15 years - don't risk "not knowing what you're getting"..find a reputable breeder at YTCA that will give health guarantees (edit to add - I just saw that you said Doreen does this..still risky in MY opinion) and that breed for betterment of the Yorkie breed and standard. If you got a pup that ended up having health issues and getting ill or worse, that would just be a punch in the gut after your so recent loss.
Hope that helps and welcome to YT. I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your girl - You now have your very own Yorkie Guardian Angel watching over you
