Tonis dogs are always clean and happy. I can not understand why people can write such lies.
I have never seen a kennel like hers and how lean and neat it is. I actually bought my little snoopy from a kennel and could not even stand the smell and would not even let me see his parents and it is not this way at Tonis.
This makes me very mad that pepople are writing this stuff about her. You can contact me if you need more from me.

WOW!! This is a complete shocker for me! I have known Toni for about 3 years now. I work at the Vet Clinic she uses for her Yorkshires. I have also worked for her on several occasions at her house helping her to care for her Yorkshires through illnesses and surgeries to make sure they were properly taken care of twice a day. I'm a level 3 CVA tech also...so its not like she just hired someone off the streets to care for her animals. The first time I helped her i was amazed at how nice, clean and organized the Yorkshires house was. She doesn't even allow her dogs to be put on our scales or exam tables with out a towel due to her extreme concern of contacting any virus from another animal. So I'm sure you can understand my shock in reading theses horrible posts. She DOES NOT have a "kennel", and definitely DOES NOT keep her Yorkshires outside...obviously some of do not you know her and have never seen her facilities or you wouldn't even think of posting these things. I recommend knowing before you speak and and passing judgment on someone you do not know. Of all of our clients we do not have anyone who goes to the extreme to make sure her dogs are healthy and happy as Ms. Toni does. And Toni, I'm sorry these people have said these awful things about you, but don't let it upset you! You have VERY beautiful Yorkshires and you take amazing care of them. They would be lucky to have one of your dogs. I still continue to visit Ms. Ledbetter at her house on a regular basis and its always clean and organized. Its your loss if you assume these things. Ill see you next week with all the little princesses for their Annual check ups and dentals!! Keep your head up!

I have a very nice house, an elegant AND CLEAN Victorian house, that I share with my Yorkies. I call it "the kennel" when referring to where my dogs live, and I refer to my dogs collectively as "my kennel." I am a breeder and this is very common terminology. It has never been a dirty word. Please get informed. I think there are people on here who have never heard of Toni Ledbetter before. Toni built an expensive addition to her house and designed it entirely for the comfort and safety of her Yorkies. Indoor dogs pee and poop on specially designed washable pads indoors. This is the same at my house. They pee and poop, and puppies love to jump around in it. We can't be there every minute to pick up as soon as a deposit is made, but at my house nothing stays on the floor longer than a couple of hours. It's constant cleaning, laundry, disinfecting. Please don't keep this ugly thread going if you don't have first hand knowledge of the characters in it.

Hello yt I am replying to this post because my name was mentioned ,I will first start off by saying I did purchase a female from tjs yorkies just like any customer looking to buy but only I was looking to buy a female to better my breeding program .I spent thousands of dollars on my new female which I searched her pedigrees carefully and the lines she come from so that i could make sure that i was investing in a quality healthy dog that could enhance my breeding program I also searched ms ledbetter before making my purchase with her and not to mention several breeders were giving her great referrals well the dog that I purchased comes from a long line of champions consisting of ROTHBY, BLUECROSS,CAMPARIS,YORKBORO,NICNAK,DURRER,
LONEYTUNES,DEVILS OF YORK, which leads me to believe that someone was breeding for the love of the yorkie and to the standard or else there would not be so many champions in this line ,my female was taken to my vet immediately and checked thoroughly, my vet gave me the approval thatmy new breeding female was in top condition as a matter of fact he said she was one of the best yorkies he has ever seen . I researched ms ledbetter before making my purchase and even emailed her past customers and got great reviews and at the time I saw no bad reviewson her website as you can see before my reviews they were all great and still after my purchase more great reviews , she was also referred to me by another reputable breeder .My puppy came to me in excellent condition I am very meticulous and with that being said i looked to make sure that her crate was clean I checked her teeth , along with a full body inspection of my new girl because just like anyone else I was getting a new puppy and needed to make sure I was satisfied with her condition .Well I was very impressed with my purchase so I gave ms ledbetter a great review based on the puppy she sold to me now I cant speak for anyone else situation but as a customer I am totally happy with my purchase I have a 5lb solid healthy female with a great bite,temperment tight knees and no health issues she has an excellent pedigree and a easy to manage coat and a great temperment I find it hard to believe that my dog could ever have been outside in urine or feces with the incredible silk coat she arrived with there were no tangles what so ever .I am sure everyone knows that if you dont take care of a dogs coat you mess it up and have to cut it,well my girls coat condition was unbelievable I have never seen a yorkies coat in the condition my girls coat was in now recently I have read several complaints on yt but unfortunately I cant be held accountable for someone else breeding I am only responsible for my breedings and I am obligated to make my customers happy. .In all my breeding experience I have never dissapointed any of my customers and have got referrals and has sold to members on yt all who are very happy I was a customer and I am not going to be accountable for something I have nothing to do with sure this situation sounds unfortunate but I am a customer in this case not the breeder so please do not bash me or involve me in this dispute .I am a small hobby breeder and I will have to make puchase from other breeders to improve my lines so I have to take a even bigger risk because I have to spend more money than the average person just looking for a pet. All I can do is my research and pray to God that I never run into a unfortunate situation that would cause me to have to post something negative about anyone.I spent thousands of dollars because I want to produce quality HEALTHY puppies for my customers I am willing to go out of my way even if it means spending so much money to improve my breeding program my goal is to produce healthy quality puppies that I can be proud of and placing them in homes and making people happy all I really want is whats best for me ,my puppies and my customers I pride myself on doing whats best for my yorkies and me if by any chance I was not happy I would be on here posting too but things did not work out that way I feel as though my purchase was priceless .........I love Rio to pieces and couldnt part with her .I am totally happy thanks for reading and im sorry I posted so long but I need to let it be known that I am not the breeder who is being reviewed there are several members on yt who are absolutely happy with their purchase and gave great reviews and a referral btw Rio is too much of a wuss to be a puppymill or byb dog she is soooooooooowell socialized feel free to visit my website to see pictures of how rio was sent me please check out her vibrant coat and how healthy she looks I am not defending anyone I am just speaking on my purchase and true facts .....thank you all for reading also I have always read from yt if you purchase a dog in the living conditions that were described you should never take it back there?Just food for thought in case someone else runs into a problem like this

I dont know this breeder but have heard good and bad .
but I hope people are stateing true facts I see so many threads where so many people who dont even know these breeders jump in for the bash and its not right. only the ones knowing true facts should be posting any thing.

I did not try to involve her. I was making an observation that this breeder had purchased a pup from the "breeder in question".
That's it. Never affiliated her with this breeder or made negative comments about her OR her pup.
