We breeders are keeping up with you public to provide smaller dogs. The only problem with that is, if a pup will be under 3lb as an adult it will likely have health issues for ever. Stay away from really tiny ones. They could be the runts of the litter." surley with that being the cse it would be better not to breed purse size shih tzus?
sorry to tell ya'll this kingcreek kennels fans, but if a kennels site has soo many contradictions on their own breeding ethics etc, it IS a red flag!

Oh by the way how is your dog's LP doing? You did post earlier about loose knees, and later on about how your dog had trouble jumping up.

Did you inform the breeder of this condition? And if you did, how have they supported you in this health issue?

nadinesky · 01-02-2011, 04:19 PM

Hi
Took the dog to the vet, had a sprain or a strain, knees are fine, health is great, and yes did talk to the breeder throughout the whole thing, she was GREAT...no history of it in the bloodline etc. etc.

So false alarm, and having the RIGHT vet has helped, a pressure bandage for a few weeks and all is great, jumping up, down and all around...she is BACK!!!

How old is your puppy?

nadinesky · 01-02-2011, 04:50 PM

She's not a puppy, in my eyes yes, but she is 3.5 years now...and wonderful wonderful wonderful!!!

I was checking them out when first looking for breeders as they are in Ontario. Yes I agree they do look mucky, but they also seem to have a lot of property and love their dogs. They are quite expensive and incredibly quirky individuals, but it's one of those things, you have to check them out and meet them before making a decision.

my vet wiggles and wiggles Teegy's knees and to me I feel it's like he's making it pop out when it doesn't. Then he told me Teegy has LP. I've never had a problem with his knees ever.

It kinda pi$$ed me off a bit

Teegy · 01-03-2011, 07:26 PM

If someone is looking for a healthy well adjusted Yorkie as a pet, do you really think that champion blood lines and a great grandfather that was the King of the Yorkies really has an impact on their choice.
Hey if you are buying to breed and show then for sure, but for a loving kind, healthy pet I see no need.
Common sense proper health checks etc is what needs to be in place.
Don't breeders cross breed to find perfect appearances and what do they do with the failure result dogs?

Way to drag up an ancient thread, which apparently has a habit of being resurrected with praises. However, you are entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones.

ATTENTION New Readers of this thread: go back and read the red flag posts regarding this kennel. Maybe a member will rehash said red flags AGAIN, but it really would be easier for everyone if you went back and read them. I'm not in the mood to go back and rehash stuff at this moment.

Remember new readers, it is up to you to educate yourself, so take the time to read the positives as well as the negatives and decide for yourself based on your own research to make a responsible choice.

It would be a good idea to research "red flags" on this site as well so you know what you are looking for or you can just post asking about whatever breeder you are considering buying from if you aren't sure. The people here will help you review them based on their own opinions and let you know what they think.

Happy searching to whoever may stumble upon this thread!

We got our sweet Yorkie Daisy-Bo at Kingcreek and we also had a wonderful experience. I think the reason this thread keeps coming up is that when you type Kingcreek Kennels into the search engine this item comes up right under their website. My girls love to look at the website's pictures because we had such a great time on our two visits there. This is actually how we found out about YorkieTalk. I was surprised that people who have never been to Kingcreek or purchased a puppy there could be so nasty about this wonderful place. I have never seen dogs treated so well. The house is full of happy, healthy dogs and is clean and smell-free. We brought our girls with us on both visits and they still talk about it and ask when we can go back for a visit. I would highly recommend getting a pup from Kingcreek. Our Daisy-Bo is the sweetest, cutest little Yorkie and we are very tempted to go back and get her a playmate!

Again, another new person's first post is in defense of a questionable breeder.

And with all the very good breeders there in that area....

Teegy · 04-26-2011, 04:05 PM

Does someone have information that has solid backing to show them as a bad breeder. The last thing you would want is to get slammed with slander of defamation from just making idle remarks.
Is there photographic or medical proof rather than conjecture heresay and name calling.
What is it about this particular breeder that's stirring so many reputable people on Yorkietalk?
