1. Pat Estes, Estes Yorkies, Frisco, TX
2. http://www.breeders.net/breeder/145310
3. Manolo was born Dec. 23, 2005
4. Hands down, this is the cleanest, most professional breeder in all of North Texas. Manolo is my second yorkie, I will tell you guys about my first yorkie breeder experience in the "bad" section. After having a horrible experience with my first one, I really did my research in buying my second yorkie. Honestly, I don't know where to begin in telling you how wonderful it was buying my baby this time. Pat Estes is a very modest breeder. He does not really breed for money, he and his wife only own 5 yorkies total. When I went to his website I was blown away at how beautiful his yorkies are. A beautiful coat was one of my top priorities, and when I saw the parents of my future puppy I knew I would be happy. I was also very concerned with size. I wanted the smallest dog I could get without worrying about health problems. I originally went to Pat's house just to visit the parents. I was beyond impressed. It was one of the cleanest houses I have ever stepped foot into, and there was not a kennel or crate in sight. His dogs had a big backyard of mowed grass to run around on, and they stayed in the kitchen with a child gate up when un supervised indoors. These dogs were well groomed, happy, and healthy. Pat and his wife are from Brazil, and so are their dogs. In fact, my dog's father is the champion show dog of South America. They are very laid back people and just want their dogs to go to happy homes. Manolo's dad, Harley, was very rambunctious and playful. His mom was calm and liked to cuddle up with you. I immediately put a deposit down for a male in the next litter. Pat called me every few weeks to update me on the pregnancy, and even called me the day they were born! I was involved in the whole process. I visited the dogs every few weeks. I saw the puppies at four weeks old, six weeks old, and finally took one home at 8 weeks old. I received a DNA test with my puppy to assure that the mother and father's lines had never crossed. I also received AKC paperwork. My puppy already knew me well because I had been there from the day he was born! Pat gave me the option of docking or not docking the tail, as it is not customary in other countries. When I took my dog to the vet for his one day checkup, my vet said she had never seen a healthier more beautiful yorkie! She even got his number and wanted to buy one from him. He is definitely show dog quality, and well worth the 1,200.00 dollars. Manolo is full grown at 2lbs. and in perfect health.
