Rocky's Dad:
 

"I can not understand why you are digging so hard to try to find out something negative about someone that you do not know. I purchased Rocky from Shirley and he is everything that she said he would be and more. He is so smart and so easy to train. I read YT several times each day since I retired and I have noticed several people attacking new members and people like Ron and Shirley. I have also noticed several members that will do everything they can for people in need (Gucci eating poison is a great example). A few people ruin things for everyone."

?!? What is your problem? (I'm not in a good mood today, if you care) I wasn't asking you so I can trash that breeder. Quite the opposite, thank you. ALL Yorkies are cute, ALL Yorkies have a fun personality-chill out. What I was trying to find out is if she breeds Yorkies w/ super personalities (not hard to do) AND if they have no health problems (harder to do). Okay?
If you aren't interested in singing this breeders praises as far as health goes and her being able to produce happy, HEALTHY, well adjusted puppies, then that's fine. Just know that that's where my questioning was going.
And I don't know that many people on here are critisizing to a fault other people, their ethics or breeding. I'm more inclined to believe that we have way too many over sensitive people on the forum that aren't interested in being open minded. If the truth hurts, or you aren't interested in helping those that are curious...sorry.

Fantasy Yorkies
 

If I misunderstood what you were trying to do or say, I apologize. I just happen to know Ron and Shirley and I know how much they love each of their dogs. They ensure that each puppy goes to a good home. They have been outstanding with us and all the people that I know that have purchased a puppy from them. Our Rocky is just as they told us he would be, He is 14 months and is 3.9 lbs of energy and love

Thank you so much for that :) . This is exactly what I have been trying to say. I am very happy with my dogs. I wanted a well socialized yorkie that was healthy and happy. I am sure their are better breeders out there. But, this breeder fit everything I was after. She may or may not be the right fit for someone else. If anyone has any questions about the breeder I would be happy to answer them. I would love to help someone find the puppy of their dreams. I have no interest in making money for the breeder. To me it is about finding a loyal friend.

I at one time had inquired about her yorkies. She answered every email and beleive me I sent her a ton. She also invited me to her house to see her kennel and her yorkies. Very friendly lady and very helpful.

No problem.
And I have NO DOUBT that this "breeder" is doing a fine job as far as breeding personality goes. Like I said, that's not hard to do. We're talking Yorkies here. I was more interested in whether or not these dogs were also healthy. And I'm not talking current on their shots or things like that. I'm talking, are her dog's joints nice and tight-no dental issues (except for adult on set of course) and no heart or other organ problems. And I don't mean just in the mother and father (and Champions in the bloodlines have NOTHING to do w/ this), I also mean within 6 generations at least. Any puppies that she's produced that has had any of the above problems (or more)? That sort of thing. That's ALL I was asking for. It's much harder to find a breeder that has a whole package, than to find a breeder that has sweet, well adjusted Yorkies. That's the easy part! Now, whether they're falling apart on you at 3 years of age or younger or if they don't conform to the breed standard is another issue!

Since I couldn't find any health certificates on her or any dogs she's produced (doesn't mean they don't exist, it just may mean I'm not looking in the right places) bothered me since there are a handful of people on here saying how wonderful she is and yet cannot tell anyone else WHY she's wonderful, except that they're sweet and happy puppies. Well, this can be very misleading and very unguided for a new potential home that goes to this breeder and sure they may spend $600 on a puppy. Then they get it home and realize that that $1000 that they just saved is now being spent on vet bills because they have a poor (physical) quality dog/Yorkie.

My Illy is from Fantasy Yorkies too!!! Shirley was wonderful and they had very nice, clean conditions. They really loved the pups and took good care of them.

I paid $1200 for Illy and she was worth every penny. Her father was Fantasy's Dundee and her mother was Fantasy's Martini. I met both parents when I went to pick her up. When I e-mailed Shirley for the first time, she responded within 2 hours. I was very pleased with her and her home. It was very clean and so was the kennel. I have no complaints about the Bovays. They were very loving people and seemed to care about the pups a lot. She even teared up when I was taking Illy away. I would recommend Fantasy Yorkie's to anyone. My baby has a clean bill of healh and has brought so much joy into my life.

have been there
 

I too have just put a deposit on a puppy from fantasy yorkies. I took a tour of her property and saw all of her dogs. She has her whelping dogs in the basement. She has her weaned puppies directly behind her house, and she has her other dogs in a hunte type house a ways down her property. The dogs in her house are her pets; they aren't breeding stock.
All of her dogs are clean and well taken care of. She has numerous play areas for them to play. She had 4 customers in her home in the 2 hours I was there. If you want a pet from her she will answer your questions honestly. She will not suffer from not selling a dog to you.. she has plenty of loyal customers. I look forward to purchasing many more yorkies from her in the future :)

How is someone able to see a breeder AKC records? That doesn't sound right? I want to find out about Fantasy yorkies.

About Fantasy Yorkies
 

I realize this is a very old conversation but I was looking up Fantasy Yorkies and found it by accident. Although Shirley Bovay has retired and no longer raising these sweeties I am trying to find her daughter, I heard she is raising yorkies and has new dogs and some of Shirley's older dogs. I am hoping she has carried on Shirley's bloodline because I have 2 of Shirley's dogs. Rufus & Mickey. My Rufus is now a very healthy 15 years old and Mickey is 13 years. Both of my boys are healthy and have been a joy for me and my husband. :animal36 I hope they are with us for many more years but when the time comes I hope to find a puppy from their bloodline :animal36

Why?
 

Why is USDA a bad thing? Just learning.:confused:
