YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Rigair - Ilona Rodionova Review I have waited a long time to post this review. I don't believe in posting a review for good or bad until a fair amount of time has passed. How long have I known this breeder? Over 6 yrs How would I rate her willingness to help an owner with her pup? 5 out of 5 How healthy has my own pup been? 5 out of 5 How well socialized was my pup when I got him? 5 out of 5 How well did my pup accept grooming? 5 out of 5 Did my breeder go over the health risks of Yorkies? Yes Was she willing to go over some other concerns I had? Yes Did she offer free training and grooming for the first year or so? Yes Do I believe she would stand behind me and support me over the life of my pup? Yes I just want the Yorkie owners here to know she is an excellent breeder, trainer and a true dog enthusiast. Here is a video of her "dancing with a border collie called Una. Please know that what you see represents thousands of hours of training. We (Magic and I) were privileged to train with Una. Ilona Rodionova. Dancing with a dog. - YouTube

| OMGosh! That dancing was something else! Love the backward move through split legs (don't know what that's called, lol) but I've never seen that, only forward moves! She sounds like an ideal breeder from your review... glad to know there are some very good ones out there.

| My Katie is one of Ilona's retired females. Katie's confidence and love of people are a testament to the love, commitment, and socialization she received from Ilona. She retired my little girl at the age of three, and I can feel the love she has for Katie still. Ilona is the epitome of what it means to be a reputable, honorable breeder, and if my little girl is any indication, she is also a wonderful trainer. I feel very blessed that she entrusted me with our little girl.

She knows more about dogs than I will ever know. I am a very humble student of hers. Una died of cancer this year, we our small group of breeders and trainers have lost many dogs this year. Una, Zoey, Launa, Dar. We weep for their loss. Every dog who is lost both dimishes our hearts and yet uplifts them! For we know we have been blessed to be a part of their life for large or small. They have made a difference. As all dogs do for at the very least their family's life.

I am so happy that you and Ilona have forged such a friendship because of your work with her and the bond you share because of Razzle. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us. I have learned so much from you, and I feel so blessed to have met you here.
