What do you think of this breeder? A friend of mine is thinking of getting a puppy from this breeder. She wants me to help her pick a puppy. Does this look like a good breeder? How do you think the puppies look? What about payment/shipping info? The person she spoke to on the phone told her that she does not ship the puppies and she must come pick up the puppy, which is what she intends to do. Any comments? Thanks http://farmersyorkies.com/contact.html |

A few red flags....alot of puppies, basis her price on size she predicts they will be......smaller the pup the bigger the price. If it were me I'd look elsewhere. Where in MO are you located I know a couple of great breeders |
i ve talked to them, they used to ship, they seem knowledgable but they constantly have puppies i think they are a puppy mill. you can find their ads everywhere on the internet |
Hi, thanks. We are in the St. Louis area. She is looking for a pet only, preferably female but price is a factor, she does not want to pay $1200 & up. I think she is hoping to find a little girl in the $700 - $800 range. I'm not sure if she is concerned about AKC registration (I don't think so) but I want to help her to find a healthy well socialized baby girl. Thanks |
i personally would keep looking not because of papers or price but because i would be scared of what she might get in terms of a yorkie. i remeber that i didnt feel comfortable about purchasing and looked else where, but it was about a year or more ago and i cant remember |

I'm in Scott City about 1 hour- 40 mins South of St Louis. I have 3 litters due in August. I have a waiting list, several are spoken for and I plan to keep 1-2 out of the breedings. She can look at my site if she would like. www.freewebs.com/macsyorkies Or call if she has any question 573-264-3304. |
Connie on here also has one of my babies. you can see her here. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77598 |
I know she is anxious to get one. I am hoping that she will hold off from jumping at the first puppy that fits her price range. yorkiegirl, your yorkies are beautiful. I would love to have one myself, but my limit is 2. Do you think you will have females in her price range? I don't think the drive will be an issue for her. |
Yes I'm sure we can work something out....;) My son also goes to st louis to pick up his son so..she could be delivered too. |
OMG!!!! YOUR BABY (Connie's puppy) is absolutely ADORABLE!!! Oh, I hope she will consider getting one of yours. I will talk to her about it tomorrow. |
That is a Molly and Gizmo breeding. They have been bred together again...At this time and I don't think anyone has ask for a female from them yet. |
To add to the good advice Mardelin already mentioned, here are a few things I noticed: * I would be cautious of any breeder that classifies their dogs by size as anything other than "standard." In this case, tiny, small, standard and large.:thumbdown * They not only allow their pups to leave at only 8 weeks, they ship them at 8 weeks too!:thumbdown :mad: |
Another thing I found a little odd. I spoke briefely to this breeder and asked her if the parents were shown on her website. She told me NO they didn't have room on the website to show the parents pictures. Seemed a little strange to me. |
I dont see pictures of the parents or pedigrees listed even tho it states that all puppies now come with a pedigree. Did they not come with one before? In my opinion if I look at a website I want to see the puppy, I want it to tell me who the parents are, show their picture and show the pedigree. |
I find it very strange that they don't have any pictures of the parents. They also have so many puppies avaliable right now as well as two of their personal pets (maltese) that they are selling because "they didn't have time for them." Why did they get the two if they didn't have time? Most breeders are proud to show pictures of their adults on their website. |
I'd run. from this "breeder" alot of the boys look like they're chi/yorkie mixes. and there's a lot of misinformation on the site. like they're tellin you they don't ship yet it's right there on they're site. again the age factor. and one poor baby girl got discounted from $1300. to $1000. because she's older than 12 weeks old. huh? I'd run tyra finally home. |

Here are a few that she may want to try.....all are YTCA members. Please don't let that frighten you. Often times their prices are less than those that advertise in the internet, reason is their prime reason for breeding is not to sell puppies. You can get their numbers from the YTCA.org breeders section. Starbarks Yorkshire Terriers - Togadere Yorkshire Terriers - Chobie's Yorkshire Terriers - Bluemist Yorkshire Terriers - Journey Yorkshire Terriers - (in Illinois but, very clothes to the St. Louis area) |
That's EXACTLY what I thought!!! I wondered if anyone else would pick up on that, those two look like chi mixes to me too. She calls it thin hair or somehing. Then I wondered what's up with the little maltese that she is selling that she doesn't have time for. I would think a breeder of all people would know exactly how much time a new baby would require...the more I think about it, the more it sounds really bad. Thanks for everyone who PM'd me with their observations about this breeder and recommendations for a good breeder. I really appreciate it a lot. The GOOD NEWS is that I talked to my friend Michelle today and she has decided NOT to buy a puppy from this breeder. She is talking to yorkiegirl about one of her pups. I am so excited for her, I can't wait. Quote:

Michelle isn't a YT member and she doesn't have a computer right now. But I will definitely post pics for her when she gets her new baby. I am going to see Michelle later tonight and I am going to show her pics of Connie's baby from yorkiegirl. She is so excited to see the pics she is beside herself. LOL |

Yes, she is my little Teddy Bear's grandma! |
I am not a breeder but I would look somewhere else. A lot of those pups look like a chi/yorkie mix. I don't like the fact that they don't have pictures of the mom and dad listed either. I love how she says the pups that look mixed have "fine" hair. LOL I am no expert but at that age they should be little fluff balls. |
a few of those yorkie pups seem to have short hair and long faces looking like daschund mixes to me? |
