| I don't have any first hand knowledge of this breeder, but I don't really see any red flags when I look at the website. (Of course, the info there is somewhat limited and you would need to delve a bit deeper before making an informed decision.) They have some very pretty girls though. And I notice that they sell all their pups on limited registration and pups are not released until at least 12 weeks....both very good aspects. |

| She's a member of YT and goes by the name Char7 if I'm not mistaken. I know she's just started into showing but that's all I know. I do not know anything of her breeding. Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers |

| I don't see any of the usual warning signs that come with mill or backyard breeders, but the site is also very limited. You definitely need to do more research before buying from her. And I would request a copy of her health guarantee, too. If she won't give it to you before you purchase, then stay away. |

| review on char7 yorkies www.charmingyorkies.com& help needed finding a breeder in TX! Charlotte Neuse. I do not recommend that you buy a yorkie from her. I saw many redflags that I want to share... first she wont send you a puppy contract/health guarantee. She wont send you the pedigree. she refuses to do the lipid panel tests for liver shunts even if you pay for it (40$) and anyone who knows a little about yorkies knows this is a common genetic problem for many.Then, she just was so eager to get rid of her pups soo fast she insisted on having her little kid drop them off in houston to "whoever will pick them up and pay her from my side" because I said I am out of town and wont be back until next week can't she wait 1 week?... RED FLAG?? definitly and besides all that i haven't head one good review about her. Im sad! i am still looking for a pup with a black body help me find a yorkie breeder in TX! |

First of all I rarely visit YT any longer and on the occassions that I do, I come across a post like this. I'd like to say that I purchased the most wonderful, healthiest beautiful yorkie from Charlotte Neuse with Charming Yorkies. You can see how wonderful he is, look at my profile picture - his name is Canyon and he's almost 2 years old. To this day - he's not had one health problem. I know of several people that got their lifetime friend from Charlotte and everyone is very happy. My experience with Charlotte was fantastic from the day I saw Canyon's picture. She was always there to answer every question I had, I was provided a health guarantee and a contract. Even on days when I begged for new pics which was often, she sent them just so I could see him growing up. As a matter of fact, I wasn't able to get Canyon until he was almost 13 weeks old - why? Because Charlotte couldn't deliver him personally to me and she wanted to wait until she could, so I waited, as painstakingly as it was that extra week to get him. So whatever this crap is about her kid delivering the puppy, etc..... is a bunch of crap - Charlotte cares too much about her babies to do that. What is your purpose to get on this sight and slander someone with a good reputation? Perhaps your disgruntled, perhaps it's ignorance, either way you need to do some more research before you get on here and talk this b/s about someone. | |

| YorkieLover9, I went to check out your profile page since your avatar pic is so small. Canyon is a very handsome boy. His last pic was a year old, though, and I imagine he has really matured since then. I may be showing my ignorance, but the OP's reference to a lipid panel test for liver shunt puzzled me. The only reference I could find was that test is for cholesterol screening .

Im sad! i am still looking for a pup with a black body help me find a yorkie breeder in TX![/QUOTE] What is the lipid panel test I googled it but can not find it in connection with dogs just people . What is the lipid panel test? A lipid panel is a blood test that usually measures 3 kinds of lipids in the blood. The lipids are related to cholesterol, a fatty substance also in the blood. Most of the cholesterol in your blood is made by your liver from the fats, carbohydrates, and proteins you eat. You also get cholesterol by eating animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy products I did find something about bile acid response testing for liver shunt. I do not know much about this so maybe someone can explain it better than me. Last edited by shamrocks; 12-30-2009 at 09:19 PM. |

| to the lady that bought canyon hes so handsome!! u r lucky. and this is not slandering this is merely an opinion i found it strange that she refused or tried to get away from showingme the genetic tests done on parents or pedigree or health certificate for that one pup that was available. another big red flag who would just send a pup with their kid to another city she lives 2 hours away from houston which i was going to drive bc i want to seethe breeder the facility and the adult dogs she just wanted to get rid of her and that just broke my heart... i agree her dogs are beautiful i was considering purchasing the little pup but i dont know too many red flags? why did she get offended when i asked about the pedigree anyhow its her loss... to the lady that bought canyon since you live inmy city do you have any good/bad comments about breeders you met or talked to? I am still looking for a baby girl i emailed a couple of ytca breeders most of the ones driving distance from me do not have a baby girl now or the ones they have are not very pretty i am not too keen on the foxy face i like the baby face happy new year guys! |

| I am buying my baby from a breeder in Texas (I live in Las Vegas) and the whole process so far has been wonderful (I'm getting her in 2 weeks). She is located in Beaumont. Please check out her website, www.southeasttexasyorkies.com. She is also on here, her member name is SET Yorkies. Good luck!

Recommendations are wonderful, however, a recommendation coming from 1 person doesn't really give you a complete insight to a breeder. I come from Texas and began my exhibiting and journey with yorkies there, so I'm pretty familiar with who is who in the yorkie world there. There are some very reputable breeders there. Glad you e-mailed YTCA breeders, follow up with a phone call (shows them you are truely interested and they prefer hearing your voice). Do your homework. Take your time, obtaining a yorkie is a huge undertaking. What you are really looking for in a breeder is relationship, that will be there 7 x 24. One that will provide you a guarantee for your puppy. Remember Guarantees are only as good as the 2 people signing the document. Not sure if you are aware.....but, it's Bile Acids that are done for LS. Another insight to Liver Shunt testing. Having them performed on the dam and sire (great for breeders in determining the correct pair to breed) only proves that they do not have shunt, but it doesn't prove that they are not carriers and aren't going to produce shunt.

| Chantale, I'm sorry that you are offended that we would not sell you a puppy. Just to clarify a few things since you feel the need to run me into the dirt... My son is not a little kid. He is 21 yrs. old. He was going to Houston to see his sister before being deployed and I offered for him to take the puppies so your friend could look at them. After you asking the same questions over and over and not reading the emails when information was supplied and the fact that you are in Beruit, is the reason I mentioned cash because I don't know you either. I guarantee my pup, you can't guarantee your check. In no way was I implying that she had to take the puppies right then, but since my son was going that way I offered to let your friend see them in person. I have emails back and forth where I sent my guarantee twice. Which obviously, you don't read your emails because you kept asking about bile acid, not lipid. My vet refuses to do bile acid testing on puppies. I'm working on attaching all of the emails between us so that the people on YT can read them and see that you were supplied with the information that you requested over and over again. I refused NOTHING to you except to do the Bile Acid Testing on the puppies. It was only when I refused to sell you a puppy that you turned this into a nasty thing. Otherwise you were happy with everything. So breeders, I say BEWARE OF THIS BUYER. |
