MistiBlue Yorkies
 

Hello,
Does anyone know or have any experience with MistiBlue Yorkies? I think they are in Rochester NY. I already have 2 boys and 1 older maltese boy. I am thinking :D of possibly getting a female Yorkie but not in a hurry at all. Just doing my homework and research.

Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Beautiful little dogs!!!

Thanks.... You mean my little devils???:p

Ha! I can tell you own Yorkies! Yes, I DO mean little devils. I think "little devel" is actually the rest of Tibbe's name......right behind, "Tibbe, you.......! He gets that a lot!

Why MistiBlue....You have some great breeders right here in California.

Scruffy's Yorkshire Terriers
Saphire Yorkshire Terriers
Steppin UP Yorkshire Terriers
Casa Blanca Yorkshire Terriers
Images Yorkshire Terriers
Pastyme Yorkshire Terriers....

Some great breeders

Hi,
I got my Lulu from Mistibleu Yorkies in Rochester, NY (I live in Buffalo, NY). I would highly recommend Kim Balas, breeder. She has beautiful yorkies. I don't think you will be disappointed if you choose her. If you have any questions, I can help with, please feel free to PM me.

PS. I LOVE the picture of your yorkies! The little guy on the right has the most adorable face.

Dont know anything about the breeder you are researching but have to say your dogs are adorable. And I agree, Pastyme Yorkies are beautiful, love going to the shows and watching them.

Thanks for the list. I am only aware of Scruffy's in CA. Are they all good and reputable breeders? I was just googling this afternoon and came across Mistiblue yorkies.

Thank you. Yes, I do love my boys, I also have an older maltese. I want a girl next time. Hubby won't let me get one anymore.:(
But if I find the right one, I am sure he will give in.....:p

Thank you.. I am just looking at this time. My boy on the right is about 2 1/2 yo, he is soo sweet and loves being with people all the time. he will climb up my neck down to my lap when he is on the couch and I am on the floor. just a sweet sweet boy.

Adorable furbutts! Got any yorkie purses in that boutique for em? lol, sorry couldn't resist:P

I just wanted to say your babies are adorable!!

I, too, just wanted to add how beautiful your little boys are!

Just curious why you wouldn't return to the breeder you purchased your lil' boys from?

Oops...forgot to say what adorable lil':animal36boys they are, too!

I don't recommend anyone unless I know of their breeding practices.....Reputable breeders? Check out the YTCA.org breeder referral pages......not that every breeder on those pages are without fault.....but, they are required to sign a code of ethics/conduct to become members of the Mother Club.

If you're in California I would stick with a breeder that you can go visit. Buy your breeder first, then your pup.......

Pastyme and Images are very close friends. Images obtained some of her breeding foundation from Scruffy's.....

Your boys are just SO cute!

The boys are adorable. Good luck in finding the little girl of your dreams.

Thanks.....

Buyers beware about Mistibleu Yorkies
 

Buyers beware: I went on this website (Yorkietalk) and I found out about Mistibleu Yorkies after reading some reviews. I did end up getting a yorkie from Kim, but found out afterwards that he has a hereditary disease and needed surgery. I spent a lot of money on surgery as well as the numerous vet visits. I just want to let everyone else know my experience because I don't want anyone to go through what I did.

That is too bad about your dog. Lulu is 6 years old and (*knock on wood*) she has only needed her teeth cleaned once. She has very mild luxating patella. I keep in contact with Kim and several other people who got dogs from her and they are all very happy and satisfied.

I bought my dog from Kim Balas and if it wasn't for her getting me through the first month of being a "new Yorkie owner in he!!", I would have sent the dog back.

When you bought the dog, you signed a contract, so I am sure that you read the contract and what was and wasn't covered on it??? Also, if you noticed that the dog wasn't walking right when you first got him, why didn't you immediately call Kim? I certainly would have been on the phone about something that serious. (Jeesh, I was on the phone with Kim when the dog freakin pooped at the "wrong" time) I am also curious as to when you actually took the dog to a vet after you noticed he wasn't walking right. Again, if it was my dog, he would be at the vet right away.

As far as dry skin and allergies, Yorkies are very prone to those kinds of things. I don't see how you can blame a breeder for that. Yorkie's are also notorious for teeth problems. I am quite sure that breeders are not going to brush every dog's teeth that they have.

My dog's skin was very dry during the winter months. It is getting better now. I give her 1/4 teaspoon of salmon oil in her food once a day and it seems to have really helped her.

I am sorry that you had a bad experience with your dog, but I feel like I have to respond and defend Kim Balas because she has been absolutely wonderful to me and my dog is an amazing, sweet, beautiful dog, and I know that I can call Kim at any time of the day or night if I have a problem and she will do her utmost to help me resolve it.

In reading this thread, I think the best I can do is just to say, please find a local reputable breeder or one you can easily travel to and the breeder can easily get the dog back if something goes wrong.
A reputable breeder will want to interview you, want to answer any questions you have and provide all the information he/she can think of AND meet the whole family where the dog is going to.
You want to see how the dogs are kept, whether or not the breeder has the mother there, not all own the sire because they have done the breeding with someone else's stud dog always championed.

We purchased our first yorkie, Mimi, from Kim.... Fantastic breeder and beautiful dogs! We're now waiting to purchase our next little girl from Kim. We may even take the little brother:) Our vet says that Mimi is one of the healthiest yorkies he's ever seen.

I bought two Japanese Chins from the same breeder. The first has luxating patellas (both back legs) and we think doesn't see well. We are so glad WE got her and not someone else who would not be taking proper care of her.

We bought a second puppy from her but were careful in checking him out his legs. So far (he is almost 11 months old), he is OK. One dog with a health problem doesn't make a bad breeder. MULTIPLE dogs does.

The breeder we got our Biewer from has a Chihuahua for sale now that is "special needs". One of the front feet is deformed but the dog is OK other than walking with a limp. Unfortunately, those things happen (BTW, I am thrilled she is placing the puppy at a reduced price into a pet home....she will find the right home for her I am sure).

You mentioned you think the Japanese Chin doesn't see well ? Have you had this pups eyes checked ? as Chins are one of the breeds prone to Chiari & vision loss is a symptom of Chiari.
