Oh, and to clear up just a bit, she states she does not breed particularly for tiny pups. Her male breeders are just small and tend to occasionally throw smaller pups. Most are average size for the breed | |

| I think your smart to do the testing every one should do it it would save them from surprises. The wellness bloodwork they do at annual checkups anyway so your just asking for it to be done earlier. I dont know anything personally about your breeder just what Ive read on here but I do like it that if a congenital problem shows up she lets you retain the pup but she covers expenses thats better than what most people get where you have to return the pup which no one is going to do so it renders the health guarantee useless. But most people dont buy from reputable breeders either. Reputable breeders cover the costs and dont ask you to return your pup

| Bobbi I finally had time to go over a few things that seem like red flags to me in my opinion. She does refer to her dogs as teacups mostly on the hypoglycemia page and reputable breeders don't want to be associated with that word. I also think I remember now about her letting her puppies go at 8 weeks which is also a big no no. Small dogs should be with there mothers until 12 weeks for socialization and learning many things from there moms. Reputable breeders know this and most breeders who cut the corners in some way do it in other ways. Also most of the time that means they have given there first shots before 8 weeks normally around 6 weeks and it's pretty much useless before 8 weeks which leads to over vaccination. A lot of non reputable breeders don't like to keep the pups until 12 weeks because it will cost more and cut into there profits. I notice she does say she does genetic testing but anyone can say that I would want a list of which tests and who did them.

| Little Biewer Yorkies in Orlando Wow, I am brand new to this forum. I was looking on the Little Biewer Yorkies website and thought their dogs were beautiful, but pricey. Now I read about this breeder's dogs having issues. Is this really a bad breeder? They don't even list their names on the website. I have found others that do. We lost our Yorkie in February of this year and we are now just ready to look for a responsible home breeder here in Florida. We will drive to the breeder's home and check it our before we purchase any pup. We were contemplating a Biewer instead of a Yorkie, but this information scares me. I know Biewer's can't be AKC, but can they be CKC? Does anyone out there know of a good, responsible Yorkie or Biewer breeder here in Florida? We live in Ft. Myers. |

| I saw something's that where wrong with her in my opinion and I would not go with her. I think reacting so negatively shows that maybe you know she's not so great either but again just my opinion.

| At only four months old how can you know for sure your dog is fine? I think you spent an arm and a leg for this dog and don't want to feel foolish for doing so.

| The biggest red flag I see is she calls the dogs Biewer Yorkies? I thought we established that a Biewer is not a Yorkie? She sounds less than legit if she is not following the breeding program that the AKC has accepted. Some of her pups are adorable but some do not look like quality Biewer Terriers. I hope Sheldon gives Bobbi years of happiness no matter what he is. |

| A lot of issues won't show up until closer to 2 years old but hopefully that won't happen.
