Oh you can bet they have a reason alright... :rolleyes:

Quoting the site, they claim: "Where we specialize in the best possible home raised puppies for you. We have been proud breeders of only
quality Yorkshire Terriers and Chihuahua for almost 12
years. We are a firm supporter in the thought you breed for
the love of the breed and always strive to achieve and
improve on the breed standard. "

Breed standard? Yeah right! Since when was there a miniature or t-cup standard. :rolleyes:

I agree, anyone trying to achieve or improve the standard would not be posting so much ear. That isn't their worst offense though. It is obvious that these people are not even educated about the breed or concerned about the welfare of their dogs. Good marketing and warm fuzzy reading though.

The terms- TEACUP, MINATURE and STANDARD Yorkshire Terrier are big marketing tools today. When someone calls or emails me- and uses those terms I ask what they mean. It is very interesting asto what has been represented to the public. Seems like we are selling poodles not yorkies. I then try and explain the terms and what they should look for.

I am suprised that at 15 oz baby was allowed to be shipped. In Indiana they have to be 8 weeks and a 1 1/2 pounds. That is pushing it for me- I like 12 weeks and closer to 2 pounds. Shipping any dog puppy or adult can be stressfull at that distance.

i'm just a little concerned that one of the pups, carson, being 4 weeks on dec 1, was sold 12/19 and sent to his new home in FL. that's gives me the impression that he was shipped when he was 7 weeks old.

and in the yorkiepoo pups page, born on nov 8, and ready for a new home on by dec 17??!!!! that's only 5-1/2 weeks!!! :eek:

and since when is breeding a yorkie and poodle IMPROVING a breed STANDARD -which breed ..... the yorkie or the poo ? :)

Ha! Oh it's the poo alright...

Somehow that answer fits you - see ....you are a poo lover ! :D

Ha! I forgot about that...it's going to be another one of those days! :jump28ib:

IMPROVING a standard? :confused: Sounds like the standard is not good enough for them..bad choice of words!!

No pick-up? They don't want you to see how their animals live...They seem to be shipping way too early and they don't know what improving the breed standard means because they think the standard is teacup size and toy size. I'm not saying it's impossible for someone to get a healthy pup from them, but personally, I do not like the way they seem to be doing things.

Here we go again with the poo-p poo-p loving lady tree dance! :D

You know you like it.

I just read the site and I must be overlooking the part where they don't allow a potential buyer to come to their home to see puppies before buying..Is the site re-edited and that statement left out? I am just curious about that among other things.
I am not saying we are flaming them but, MyTy did go back and say her puppy was 13 weeks not 8. I have spoken to these people before and helped a friend get a puppy from them several years ago. My friend's home burned and all of her pets were killed. That puppy is healthy and happy and is 3+ years old..
As for allowing peole in their home, I do not allow people in my home when I have a new or very young litter. I have known several puppies that were bought from a "wonderful, beautiful mansion on a horse farm" who had Neopar at 4 weeks and still died of parvo by 3 months. Seems the parvo was carried in on the shoes. So, I would ask anyone to take off their shoes before coming into my home.. I have so few puppies, I don't have that as a worry. But, as we discussed on another thread...a person needs to make appts before going to look at a puppy in a home. The buyer then knows the breeder knows they are coming and will be home. And, the breeder can make arrangements to house the other dogs so they don't swarm. My dogs love company and if I don't Xpen them, they trip over themselves getting to all company. Bad comment on my training, huh?
I say to ALWAYS do your homework and get the name of the breeder's vet for reference. The only reason to get the name of an owner of their puppies would be....well, I can't think of one. After all, who would give the name of an unhappy buyer. I tell these things to everyone who calls me for a puppy, mine or anyone else's..

Oh My Lord In Heaven, please please look further!!! I so want you to find
a good healthy dog and a good breeder that you can go back to for years
to come if you have a problem. YorkieRose has a very good point and it
would be the biggest RED FLAG I ever saw if I was not allowed to come to
the house. Of course you need an appt. and you wait until they are older
to be able to see but remember what happened at Hollybelle Maltese
because they only wanted to ship. We have so many good breeders
here and the closest to you is Stacy (I think) please look on and don't be
in a hurry and regret it.
