The following was taken from that site... FAQ: How old are my puppies when they go home? This info is taken directly from AKCs own site: "Many animal behaviorists agree that socialization reaches its peak at the 49th day (7 weeks). At 8 to 9 weeks, the pup can go to his new owner and home. (If you choose a good breeder,) He has received human contact and love. He has been exposed to different environments and house breaking. Now the breeder can choose with confidence their pup for future breeding and showing. And they can place the puppies they choose to sell according to their temperaments in homes with new owners. Different personalities will match different homes and families. The individual attention, interaction and love that puppies receive during their first seven weeks are invaluable and will reap lifetimes of rewards." My puppies are healthy and not prone to hypoglycemia, etc. as some pet store and backyard breeders puppies are. One of the best Yorkies I ever bought, I got when she was 5 weeks old- so smart and bonded with her people. My puppies often go home around 8 weeks with great success, as you will read on the Happy Families page. I don't agree with her belief that it's ok to get a puppy at 5 or 8 weeks of age. Large breed puppies may be ok to go home at 8 weeks (NOT 5) but it's not advisable for a toy breed to do so. |
I agree, 8 weeks for yorkies is way too young to leave. Period! Why are you looking in Ga., when you live in NY?? |
I saw your last puppy was from Arkansas. You should really look close to you so you can see the parents, see where the pups come from, and see the puppies. Are you trying to be a breeder? I am sure there are some really good breeders in your area. Be sure to do your research and glad you are checking on breeders now. A puppy is a long commitment that should last more than 15 years, usually. So this decision should not be made in haste. There is a post that has certain things to look for when deciding on a pup as to what to look for in a breeder. It is recommended to get a yorkie no younger than 12 weeks of age. There are several reasons why - yorkies can become stress and get hypoglycemia due to leaving to their new home too early. And yorkies are terriers and need that extra contact and play time with their mom. I would not buy from anyone that sells their pups younger than 12 weeks of age. Age is just one things to look for when choosing your puppy. |
I posted this in another thread a few days ago, but I think it is applicable here as well. Here is a list of red flags to look for when you are considering a breeder. Check and see how many (if any) of them apply to this breeder. * Dogs not being bred to meet the breed standard. (Which means you have to have a good understanding of what the standar is.) * Dog that are unregistered * Breeders who have multiple litters in a very short amount of time * Advertising dogs as "teacups" or "minatures" * Breeders using females that are too small (under 5 lbs for breeding) * Extremely cheap dogs--breeding comes with costs, extreme low prices suggests they are cutting corners somewhere * Pet store dogs (these are supplied by puppy mills) * Breeders that do not perform health testing on pups and parents (specific health tests, not just "vet checked") * Releasing pups at a very young age---6 wks, or 8 wks. For Yorkies, releasing them around 12 weeks is preferred * Breeders who don't place dogs on spay/neuter agreements * Not having a sales agreement with health guarantee |

Or so many of them do not turn out to standard and then people get upset when the pup grows up to be really big, or won't grow a coat, or later in years end up with petella problems or allergies, or other problems. Going cheaper it not the best idea. Reason one has to do their research! |
Most all the reputable breeders here do not give full registrations on a puppy. |

I am so proud someone understands this because it is fact :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: housing is the same here, I am sure that is why so many retire in some of the southern states |

My mom said when I was a little girl like 5 or6, I just all of a sudden one day started talking with a deep southern accent. She said I did it for awhile, constant.. Kinda freaked her out I think..LOL.. I think I am a southerner at heart;) |

I do love it here. Winters not so bad (except this year). I am glad the cold is gone. I love my sweet tea and peaches. Most people are pretty nice and will say Hi when they pass and open doors still for you. I said most, but not all people. Oh, we have a thing here too - when you pass someone driving in the country - you raise up your pointer finger as you pass as a way to say Hay! :-) |
Typical home price is about 200,000 - to 300,000 average around here for 3 bedroom/2 bath. I know California is higher. Gas is at about 2.69 - 2.74 per gallon regular here in Georgia. |

Thanks Misty. I think the health testing is a big one around here that many do not do to save costs. So sad!! Every pup and parent should be tested and screened! Doesn't make sense to me why anyone could in good faith breed two dogs together and not do the health screenings/testings or hand over a pup to someone and not do the screenings/health testings on that and each pup. Shocker to me, but there are so many breeders that skip this (health testings) here in my state. One should always ask and get a copy of the puppy's results when they purchase. |

Thank you everyone for your input. Yes, I have been looking all over NY, PA, and down South too. There are just too many breeders out there. I am not an expert and is fairly new at this. Although, I did learn a lot from my first buy. I am doing my homework the right way this time around....I hope. Does anyone know any reputable breeders in NY, PA, or states close to it? And no I am not planning on breeding. I just want a healthy and happy puppy to add to my family. |

Best of luck. :D Tina |
Does anyone have had dealing with Carter's yorkies in south Ga or Jordan's yorkies in northwest GA? |
carter's yorkies I realize this post is a month and a half old but I couldn't resist replying. I briefly flirted with the idea of purchasing a yorkie from Carter's Yorkies last year. I am from Alabama, but currently reside in NJ and was planning a trip home and had emailed Lisa back and forth a number of times. It was important to her to get to charge for shipping, she was in such a rush to get the puppy out to me, as opposed to waiting 2 weeks for me to pick it up (I was traveling to Bama, would have drove down to her in GA). Then it was mentioned that she would be traveling northbound on I-65. I asked her if she would be interested in pulling off at exit 351 in Bama, and meeting one of my family members at Cracker Barrel, literally 4/10's of a mile our of her way. She said yes but wanted to "charge" me a delivery fee. She quoted me the same charge as shipping the puppy through the airlines. I am not cheap by any means, when I contacted Lisa I had lost my 2nd yorkie in 2009...due to not researching and purchasing from a puppy with an unknown liver shunt from NJ broker for a PA puppy mill. I had asked her about bile acid testing, she said it wasn't necessary, she had never had an issue....didn't seem to appreciate me asking. I had researched and educated myself after losing the puppy to a liver shunt. Had I only known ahead of time, I would have tested and corrected but there were no symptoms until it was too late.....hindsight. I go above and beyond providing for my babies, but the "delivery" fee was a red flag on a few levels. I simply questioned why so much, it wasn't as if she was going out of her way to drop off the puppy, or that I had even made the suggestion in the first place. She said it an option, since I was uncomfortable flying such tiny, precious little babies in "perishable cargo holds" on these airlines. She quickly became VERY defensive and aburpt. To parapharase her response, I was inconveniencing her asking her to stop, and then the inconvenience of traveling with the "dog". I was appalled at the tone of her email. I neverminded compensating her for her time, but would never want to inconvenience anyone. Her finally email left me with an unsettling feeling and I often catch myself wondering whatever happened with that little girl . The little yorkie was barely 8 weeks at the end of our last correspondence. I hope she went to a good home and is enjoying a healthy, happy life. But Lisa's disposition with me and complete annoyance with me questioning her delivery fee and the bile acid test made me uncomfortable to do business with her. Everything happens for a reason, I found an adorable little girl elsewhere....the breeder was happy to pay for the bile acid test. She is a healthy, thriving, AKC Canine Good Citizen. :) It is a difficult test on them I know....but it is difficult to suddenly and quickly lose them without being able to do anything about it as well. There is always a measure of the pros and cons. To end my long-worded reply...I would never consider purchasing a yorkie from Lisa again. There was something about the rush to get rid of the puppy and the aburptness of her response to my questioning over test and the amount of the delivery fee that left me with that pit in my gut saying "don't deal with her, doesn't feel right." |
I came within a hair's breath of buying a yorkie puppy from Carter Yorkies but something seemed a bit off so i decided against it. After reading your post i'm glad i went with my gut. I finally got Mabel from a lady about 45 minutes away from our house. My family clicked immediately with breeder and her family! So i say pay attention to your initial gut feeling... it is usually right! |
Hey yall! from Georgia I just wanted to clarify a little thats been quoted from my site. I did say that one of the best Yorkies I ever had, I bought when she was 5 weeks old. Its true, and it was in 1973. She lived to be 16+ yrs old and was so smart and bonded with her people.. I didnt say I sold puppies that young. I do know AKC site states that the ideal time for a new owner to get their puppy is at 7-8 weeks old. My site is just stating that fact, based on AKCs research. You all can read the AKC site yourself. I actually have some puppies ready now on my site. They are 13 weeks old. Ive been raising Yorkies exclusively for 36 years so I have a good idea when puppies are ready to leave their moms. I let them get weaned naturally rather than when it suits me. That way, they are healthy and ready for their new homes. Hope this helps you understand my site. |

On that one, it's a matter of who's advice you choose to follow: AKC, an organization not made up of experienced Yorkie breeders with general guidelines for every breed of dog, or the YTCA & other breeders who have experienced specifically with Yorkies and what works best for THAT breed. For every one site that says 7-8 weeks is best, there are an equal number of sites saying it's too early. |

Very good list for new owners wanting a puppy. Everybody should use this to make their decision! Good Job!:aimeeyork |
list I liked almost everything on that list, with one exception which comes with years of experience. If you have two females in the same house- or five-, they will get their seasons in sequence with each other. They may not start out that way, but will gradually come in season at the same time of year. If you breed once a year, you will have two or five or however many all coming in, and then have those litters at the same time. That is not an indication that you have a bad breeder. It only indicates that there are several females living together-and any breeder is going to have several females. Mother nature is something we cannot control. Then you may have a dry period with no puppies for quite some time until they all come in season again. Have other breeders experienced this? It happens to me every year. |
I took her "multiple litters" to mean multiple litters off the same dam. |
Quote:
To clarify, when I said "multiple litters," I mean having lots of litters in a short amount of time. Really...what exactly is your goal and reason for breeding if you are churning out that many dogs? |
Gosh, sorry you misunderstood. I said "if you have two or five or however many" they will all come in season together. I was trying to give an example. I didnt say I was churning out alot of dogs...only that however many a breeder has will come in together and will have multiple litters at approximately the same timing, due to nature. I dont breed all of mine at any given time... only ones who are in great physical shape and are of special interest. |
I noticed you are using the term "Teacups" when advertising your pups.:confused: |
