If you look really close at the first picture it looks as though her "right' front leg was shaved and growing back in....Shaved leg would be a red flag for me...JMO

It is a cute pup though...

umm this is not a maltese

aww the first yorkie boy is soo cute!!! great price too.

:eek: My post got moved and I couldn't find it! He he he. She was going to deliever it...she refused to let me drive down there. I cut off all contact with her because of all the red flags! I live in Michigan so it would have been a long drive...but anything for a furbutt! I found the baby of my dreams here on YT though, so all is well that ends well. :D

:GASP: Your babies are BEAUTIFUL!!! If I'm ever looking for another one...which we all know its just a matter of time :D I'll have to contact you and see what you have!! Very beautiful babies!

Thank you Courtney! I appreciate the nice words. We think our babies are special too :) As all breeders, we or our dogs are perfect, but It sickens me to see puppies like the ones on the Yarnell webpage, and I was very scared that our member would purchase one there. I have to wonder if they even get bigger prices than I do, and then sell sickly non socialized puppies. :thumbdown

We LOVE Yarnall Kennels!!!! We had an issue with another yorkie that we bought from a breeder in Oklahoma on the recommendation from my BIL in UT. He bought two of them. However, because the dog was in OK, she had to be flown here to Kansas City. That completely did her in. She passed away within 48 hours of us picking her up at the airport. I was just devastated.

I looked up Debbie Yarnall and the pictures of the cute little yorkies she had and we fell in love. Because it was a 4 hour drive for us I was the one that suggested that we meet halfway somewhere. I DID NOT want to put this dog on a plane. We picked out a darling little girl that weighed 2 lbs and we got her around Christmas 2008. However, she is NOT considered a Tea Cup Yorkie. She will be 2 years old in September this year and we completely love her! She is such a great addition to our family. Oh and BTW, being 2 years old and full grown, she still only weighs 4 lbs. The perfect size for our family. We call her our little purse puppy.

LOL...of course she's not. There is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie. ;)

Why pull up 2.5 year old thread?

I agree most of the puppies look as if they have never seen their surroundings before and are acting very cowardly. I felt sorry for them and that is never a good sign when dealing with a breeder. Glad the OP is doing her homework before buying.

:pISN'T IT FUNNY HOW THE SMALLEST CREATURE CAN HAVE THE BIGGEST HEART?:p

Two yrs later and many of the Yorkies have that deer in the headlight look..why are they so greasy looking...and you are not allowed to come to the kennel..they meet you in a nearby town.

(JMO)It looks as though they were plucked out of some horror pit and placed in a nice setting for the sake of a few pictures. I don't know but I think I would have at least given them baths before trying to sell. LOL!

I purchased a yorkie from Yarnall Kennels last year and my precious baby is now a little over a year and a half, I thought Debbie was fantastic. I talked to her several times on the phone before making my decision to purchase. She offered to allow me to come to her home. I wouldn't trade him for anything. He is just like my child and so smart. No illnesses or any other problems.

awh another first time poster in support of a breeder. Interesting

That happened on another breeder thread yesterday, too. Things that make you scratch your head in wonder.

what was meant by your comment I am unsure. However I was just relaying my individual experience with this paticular breeder. And just so you know I do not personally know these people either. I just purchased a dog from them.

What was meant was that it's a pretty common occurance for a new member to show up and either give a breeder being discussed high praise, or strong critisim with there very first post(s). No introduction, no small talk elsewhere...just jump right in to a breeder review. Then more often than not, they disappear and are never heard from again. Surely you can see why that's a bit suspicious?

If you in fact purchased a puppy from this particular breeder and was satisfied then, I am happy for you. I was merely saying that the website threw up too many red flags for me. I would not purchase a puppy from this particular breeder and I suppose just as you had your opinion and decided to buy I can also have my own opinion to never buy from them.

Any reputable/responsible breeder would want a potential owner to come to their house. In fact, I would wager money that they absolutely insist on it. This not only gives the new parents a chance to meet the entire Yorkie family and see its living conditions but also allows the breeder to meet and size up the individual who will be taking one of their babies home. This can not be done over the phone and certainly not at a halfway point in a parking lot for 10 minutes.

I would also like to add that your post has sent up red flags as well. You are new to YT and the very first post you make is defending a breeder. This makes me feel that you are either the breeder in question or you just want to get a stir from some of the other posters. If I have misjudged then, I sincerely apologize, but as I said before, it takes more than a phone call and a 10 minute meeting to get to know someone.

:pIF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE YOUR DOGS, THEN HOW THE HELL CAN YOU BREED THEM!!!:p

Anyway, since as I can see there are many skeptics in the world I would like to know if anyone could tell me if my yorkie is a little over a year old, would he adapt to having another yorkie in the house with him? I don't want to mess with a good thing, but think I would like to have another one to keep him company on those rare days when my husband is not at home.

depends on the dog (both the current and new dog), your economics, and how open the entire family is to bringing a new dog home.

Hello and welcome to YT. You might get more help with this question if you post over in the main section. You'll find a wide variety of yorkie households over there.
