Moonlight Kennels has Yorkies and Mini Schnauzer puppies for sale. We have information about Teacup Yorkie puppies and Miniature Schnauzers, and …
Miniature Schnauzers Teacup Yorkies"

It's their ad...

Again, I've never seen this ad or this website before you posted it. It says she has "information about teacup yorkies and miniature schnauzers."

Don't get me wrong, I am not defending her. But her website is shut down and when I bought my puppy from her the "information" she offered explained that there is no such thing as a teacup. So, I think you may be jumping to the wrong conclusion and spreading misinformation. I actually had a transaction with the woman and am explaining what I saw on her website and what she told me. She does not actually advertise teacups FOR SALE on this hotfrog website. She states that she has "Yorkies and Mini Schnauzers for sale." Just saying.

Oh no I totally get you, and good to know what she says on her own site.

I'd hope the advert. was edited incorrectly or it was an error but that's just what it states;I've never dealt with her-I was just reading and posting what her ad states-check the link-if it's incorrect you should let her know about it. I'd think she'd want it fixed, especially if she took the time to inform people on the truth about "teacups etc".

I've seen other breeders say some of the 'puppy ad' sites edit their listing and use certain key words to increase search hits etc...

Is she on YT? You should get her to join...

P.s. that one nation pup broker shows moonlight as one of their breeders-? If that's not true she should get that clarified.
It's really damaging if she is a responsible breeder to be associated with a nation broker

My Trouble came from Moonlight Kennels in Feb 08. I remember the info about tea cups on her website. At that point I did not know very much about what was good or bad when it came to buying a yorkie. Wanda was very informative about the puppies and was truthful about Trouble. She required me to allow her to have him neutered before sending him to me. At 12 weeks old her was neutered and put on a plane to Tennessee. After the neuter his ears dropped. She told me over the phone how to tape them back up, but he looked so cute with them down we just left them that way. He has grown into a bigger yorkie. Trouble weighs around 9 lbs and he isn't over weight either. He has a cotton coat that I keep cut short too. He also has very bad allergies that we have to have shots for weekly, but he is a very happy, playful, loving little man who I wouldn't trade for anything.

I really don't know how to classify Wanda. I know I wouldn't buy another puppy from her or recommend her. I only found out recently that Missouri is one of those "puppy mill" states and although I don't think she runs a puppy mill it does appear that she is brokering for other breeders, which I don't agree with. At any rate, she flat out lied to me about a couple big things, and that doesn't sit right with me.

Why not just adopt one, if you are not wanting to show. All of my yorkies except the very first one, were adopted!!! I love them all to this day.

Sorry about Trouble's allergies.
Shots weekly Yikes! Scoobers is allergic to corn and thankfully it forced me into super nutritional awareness, I knew about their food but didn't realize how many treats contain corn.
Princess is allergic to fleas, which forces me to really stay on top of parasites; one stray flea from a dog we found wondering caused a "hot spot" and emergency trip to the vet.

Those allergies are easily remedied and avoidable though, I can't imagine the effort you must exert I'm so sorry. Poor Trouble and weekly shots, while in a medical crisis myself I had to do weekly blood draws-it was miserable for me I empathize.

I just LOVE 'teapots', personally I prefer Yorkie's about or around 10 pounds (I know out of the standard) they just seem to really be my preferred imagine of a beautiful Yorkie that is still a 'dog dog' and able to get in and throw some decent weight around with other breeds. Elvis is 9 pounds as well.

..im at work... SHHHHHH!!!! hehe.

wow!! i didnt realize all that about moonlight and wanda, although, i did try to visit the website without any success.. so, that explains it. I also remember the info on her site about "no such thing as teacup". I have not experienced any health complications at all with my pheobe.. now im hoping something doesnt come up in the future...?

well, what done is done.. so on and so forth. :P you live, you learn.

I am hoping someone might be able to offer some insight with their knowledge of Yorkies. My sweet Yorkie is 10 years old. I just adore him. We got him from Moonlight Kennels in Missouri in 2002. He has always had issues with an occasional reverse sneeze, but that is it. It seems like for the past couple of years, the attacks of reverse sneeze are becoming more severe. In the last year, he now has the reverse sneeze, but even at rest he sounds like a human with emphysema. His breathing is always labored. I have taken him to two different vets that just suggest prednisone as needed and a couple of meds for a cough. They don't really have a reason for his symptoms. Other than his breathing problems, he still seems very perky and happy. I have to be very careful for him not to see a ball or anything he wants to play with and chase or he really seems to have breathing issues. Have any of you experienced this with your aging Yorkie? Has your vet had different recommendations. I don't know whether to try another vet, or to just accept the fact that it is normal old age. I just hate not to help him if something can improve his symptoms. Thanks in advance for any replies or insight.

Reverse sneezing happens, and can worsen with age and allergen exposure

A grain free diet is reccomended for dogs with this.

Did the vet show you how to cup over the nose to stop episodes?

Did you try a detox diet as well purification of the air and antiallergen measures in your home yet?

Please have his heart checked. We lost Lolita to heart issues (if caught early they have medication) She also breathed as you are discribing this. By the way I lived in Sparta for 30 years. I believe they have stopped selling puppys at that kennel.
