Has anyone ever heard of dolce sinfonia
 

Just wanted to know if anyone has ever heard of this breeder. Her site makes me feel very uncomfortable, like i dont deserve one of her puppies if Im not at her status.In the past, I contacted her numerous times by filling out a form where she asks questions about the buyer including what you do for a living.I dont see how someone can make a decision based on that. Also she said this quote;

"I wanted a Yorkie that could walk as ready to be featured in a movie or on a red carpet under the spotlights. A Yorkie that is self-confident and proud. I do not raise dogs to buy my expensive dresses."
and;
"Today owning a Dolce Sinfonia is considered a status symbol!"

Anyway Has anyone heard of her because maybe I been hiding under a rock.:D I have never heard this womans name before.
oh here is her site

Beautiful animals!!
 

Sabrina Parisi has been raising Yorkshir Terriers from the time she was 13 years old. She is young European that lives in California. If you reserach on google her name or her dogs name you will find many info about her. She is a very responsible breeder that has wrote several articles about the breed. Yes, she has produced several champions of beauty known worldwide and her animals have been featured in many commercials and in movies. She is also the author of a best seller book in Europe named : passport of a champion. She may be an eccentric but to me it seems she loves her Yorkies. I do not believe she is there to sell dogs. She is more a celebrity that loves Yorkshire terriers. Also, you may find interesting to watch this video. This is the number one national Italian TV and it features her and her Yorkshire terriers: You can find many videos on Sabrina Parisi and her beautiful Yorkshire terriers. Also, I read an article on the Hollywood report that she has been working with the Walt Disney Picture in the coming up movie G-Force produce by produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (the same that did Pirates etc...) and that she is the main actress with her dog Mozart dolce Sinfonia in a movie "It's a Dog's life" that is going to be released in June 2008. These info I found online. :) I personaly like this girl and I adore her Yorkshire terriers. I wish there would be more people like her around. people that really love their animals.

Yes, I've heard of her and seen her. She's a very serious and dedicated Yorkie breeder. And she wants only the best for her babies. I can't blame her for that.

I have the same gold, Yorkie jewelry she has, so she would approve of my taste at least..LOL

I loved looking at her site :)

Maybe she asks what you do for a living so she can decide if you'll have enough time and or patience with the dog? Say for instance you're an airline attendant...I don't think she'd let you buy one her babies.

You know I emailed her and asked her why she never replied to my puppy request form.The email goes to her assistant but for some reason she decided to answer me herself.She was very sweet and told me she was sorry for not replying.She says she gets over 100 requests a day for puppies.She also mentioned how her dogs are her children and she just wanted them to go to the best homes , celebrity or not. I have to say I was totally wrong about her. I have learned my lesson and am never judging a book by its cover.Thanks for sharing ur info.

yes, her puppies are adorable!! I want to buy one from her but she hasnt responded. Site claims she gets hundreds of emails a day.Does anyone know how much her puppies start at? Either show or pet quality? Thanks!

Have read the thread on B A T on puppies ?

thought you might be interested in reading this web page:
To Test Puppies Think About It - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

I watched the u tube presentation of this breeder and noticed that all her babies had their tails. Since most of the responses here are very favorable why do so many dock the tails since this is so inhumane?

Give me a break. She has "teacups" and "doll faced" yorkies on her site. And the whole "Today owning a Dolce Sinfonia is considered a status symbol!"...yeah, like thats why you should get a dog, to improve on your status. I dont care how famous or expensive her dogs are. If any other Joe Smoe was breeding yorkies and used those terms on their site, they would be bashed down to dirt if it was posted here. I dont think she gets any special treatment because she happens to be a byb to the stars.

From her site:

Her dogs are beautiful...but geesh! Is she selling herself or her dogs? She is modeling in almost every pic:rolleyes:

Maybe she thinks modeling with the dogs help the sale of them. Oh well guess we would need to be of that status and selling to celebrity and then we would understand. If she is getting over 100 emails a day then maybe she could give us all some business she can't handle. Ha Ha!!!!! Sorry couldn't resist.

:D that was a good one.

I adore those babies and I wish many breeders wold be like her. She does not need to sell dogs and that's why she is very attempt with her babies. Did you try to send her an email? I noticed on her web site this email address: info@dolcesinfonia.com Good Luck! ;)

She is a TV personality and very well known in Europe, especially East Europe. I do not think she is selling herself, she definetely does not need that. Seems to me that she is enjoying her babies and she loves them. :)

Here you can see a very interesting video, this is a TV show that is showing in East Europe:

Is this a european trend? Her pups are adorable on this site! now she is getting free advertising!:aimeeyork

I for one as a Breeder as do my puppies tail docking as this is what the AKC Standard requires....I'm trying to breed toward the AKC Standards...Not away from it...If our Yorkshire Terrier Breed was born with the AKC Standard tails then I would not dock tails...

It is not inhumane to me...If that was so then why do we get shots and have rotten teeth pulled, have testing done? This is all my OPO as a Breeder. Also I "THINK" some Countries allow tails long in showing (Show Ladies can answer this for us)...I love the long tails on some Yorkies, not all but some...I guess it all in a persons likes and dislikes. Below is what I've copied from the AKC Site...:) Lee


Yorkshire Terrier Breed Standard
Toy Group

General Appearance
That of a long-haired toy terrier whose blue and tan coat is parted on the face and from the base of the skull to the end of the tail and hangs evenly and quite straight down each side of body. The body is neat, compact and well proportioned. The dog's high head carriage and confident manner should give the appearance of vigor and self-importance.

Head
Small and rather flat on top, the skull not too prominent or round, the muzzle not too long, with the bite neither undershot nor overshot and teeth sound. Either scissors bite or level bite is acceptable. The nose is black. Eyes are medium in size and not too prominent; dark in color and sparkling with a sharp, intelligent expression. Eye rims are dark. Ears are small, V-shaped, carried erect and set not too far apart.

Body
Well proportioned and very compact. The back is rather short, the back line level, with height at shoulder the same as at the rump.

Legs and Feet
Forelegs should be straight, elbows neither in nor out. Hind legs straight when viewed from behind, but stifles are moderately bent when viewed from the sides. Feet are round with black toenails. Dewclaws, if any, are generally removed from the hind legs. Dewclaws on the forelegs may be removed.

Tail
Docked to a medium length and carried slightly higher than the level of the back.

Coat
Quality, texture and quantity of coat are of prime importance. Hair is glossy, fine and silky in texture. Coat on the body is moderately long and perfectly straight (not wavy). It may be trimmed to floor length to give ease of movement and a neater appearance, if desired. The fall on the head is long, tied with one bow in center of head or parted in the middle and tied with two bows. Hair on muzzle is very long. Hair should be trimmed short on tips of ears and may be trimmed on feet to give them a neat appearance.

Colors
Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply:
Blue: Is a dark steel-blue, not a silver-blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs.

Tan: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.

Color on Body
The blue extends over the body from back of neck to root of tail. Hair on tail is a darker blue, especially at end of tail.

Headfall
A rich golden tan, deeper in color at sides of head, at ear roots and on the muzzle, with ears a deep rich tan. Tan color should not extend down on back of neck.

Chest and Legs
A bright, rich tan, not extending above the elbow on the forelegs nor above the stifle on the hind legs.
