| I haven't had any experience with her but I believe she is the daughter to Shirley Bovay of Fantasy Yorkies. |

| Magnum Yorkies I have a Magnum Yorkie. Teresa is great. Very knowledgable and really cares about her puppies. I visited her home to pick up my boy and it was clean and it did not appear to me that she was mass producing puppies. Yorkies are the only breed she has. Now as far as quality, I am not up on the breed standard, but I do know that my boy is healthy with no problems. Our vet raved about how healthy he was when we got him. He is a "healthy" size---about 4 1/2 lbs now and he is 11 mos old--so I assume that he is full grown now. If you have any additional questions, let me know. |

| My puppy Maddie is home! She came from Teresa, and I have no complaints. She has been VERY helpful, and answers any questions I may have. Puppy Maddie came in a very nice, cute crate, freshly groomed, with all her paperwork in order. So far I am very satisfied! I still don't know how to upload pictures!

| I looked at her website and didnt see 14 moms?? She has 7 with 3 future moms. regardless of the amount of adults she has, she only has like 3 puppies available and a waiting list. She appears to be ethical on her website. keeps pups past 12 weeks, pups have limited registrations, invites people to visit, heath guarantee.....All of these seem to be on the up & up to me. If she was spitting out puppies left and right, there obviously would be more pups and no waiting list. I think those who jump conclusions and finger point need to get their facts straight. |

Okay I counted... so it will be 10 and not 14. That is still a lot IMO, but I'm not a reputable breeder just a good observer. No jumping to conclusions there and that is a fact. And she does appear to be ethical and do good things reading her site. But anyone can say they have a waiting list too. Perhaps someone who has had experience with her will tune in and give her a great review Well two have so maybe there is more.

If yorkies are this lady's passion and her life, can contribute positively to the yorkie breed, and does everything an ethical and reputable breeder should do-then who are you to say how many dogs she can or cannot have???? I've seen YTers have 5 yorkies. She has 7 breeding females at this time...you dont know if she intends on retiring any of her females before she breeds the 3 futures. Her website doesnt state what her intentions are. She doesnt have 20, 30 or 50 breeding females.....she's got 7. I'd give this breeder the benefit of the doubt and pay a visit if your in the market for a puppy. If I were looking for a yorkie--I'd check with Magnum yorkies or fantasy yorkies for that matter. I have one of Fantasy's yorkies. I'm very very pleased and would definately go back if I were looking for another. Mine is healthy, happy, social, smart, and a great representation of the breed standard. I can vouch for Fantasy- they do a great job raising yorkies. | |

Well I can't understand your problem with my previous post because I didn't say nothing bad about her But since you asked 2 good reviews and 0 negatives means NOTHING no matter what the since date is. Anyone can delete negatives off their website and 2 good reviews since 2008 with 7 females is pretty weak in my mind. BUT this is just my opinion. I can't judge her. I just stated that having 7 soon to be 10 females for breeding seemed like a lot to me. Perhaps she is going to retire some of the olders ones. But I also stated that I AM NOT a reputable breeder (and will never breed) So perhaps some breeders do have more than 4 or 5 females. I also stated that 2 members had tuned in and said great things about her. So let it go.

Its just that your suspicions are pointing negatives in this breeders direction as I bolded above and 1 negative remark can wipe out a breeder on YT. You did say some good things, but the negatives were in the same paragraphs. We love yorkies and look out for their best interest. I understand why people are suspicous of breeders, but also can be overly suspicious and damage a breeders reputation. I just dont think this breeder deserves suspicious vibes. I dont want anyone reading this thinking shes a puppy mill because somone thinks she has too many breeding females...that isnt fair to her. Anyone looking to get a puppy through Magnum, accept her invitation to visit her home, as well as contact the references she has on her website, check the breeder suspension list, and draw your own conclusions--then please come back here to YT and post about your experience. | |
