Did you see at the end of the video the puppy was about to throw up? Omg is she crazy keeping them in a bassinet? what if they jump out.

I had to watch that whole video just because I read your comment. And yes, that poor puppy did the classic Yorkie vomit thing right at the end! He was probably sick at the fact that he had to sleep in that bassinet.

OMG ! And did you notice there are NO pics of puppy parents ? ridiculous prices for clearly poorly bred pups.:thumbdown:mad: Looks like a Broker to me, again:thumbdown

There were links to parents at the bottom of one page:
Yorkie Dams | Yorkie Mommies
Yorkie Sires | Yorkie Dads

She uses the term teacup about a hundred times, even though she says that it is not an AKC term.

Intentionally breeding for small size, and charging 3+ times the price of a well bred pup from a reputable breeder is exactly the type of exploitation I would run away from.

Does anyone see a copy of the health guarantee she includes?

How do the mommas get in and out of the playpen, bassinet, and crib to tend to their babies?

They don't... They're in the cages with their babies. Those are photo props used to fool people into thinking she truly has a nursery for her puppies. No one with common sense would put a dog and puppies in a bassinet 3 feet off the floor.

That is so weird.

I agree. Did you see the bedding. It is immaculate. Sorry to say. Puppies chew, pee and poop. It would be washed worn. Also that bed. The puppies can get in between the rails. And in the back of the picture there is even a space where they can get through. They are just that props. She is marketing her pups. The pups are very expensive for a yorkie. I hope that people that google this will find out she is breeding for money not for the benefit of the breed. Sad

:thumbup:

I couldn't find a health guarantee on the website. But I did see this text on the bottom of the homepage:

There's a link to photos of the moms & dads are at the far bottom of the page.
Many of them look far from standard like:

Attachment 389868
Serenity

Attachment 389869
and Marisol.

They claim to have one champion,
Attachment 389870
Elyse.
But I didn't see Elyse featured in the Moms/Dams section.

You know I wondered about all the cute bassinets, etc. too. I see a lot of that stuff
on some websites. I could never put puppies in something like that. They chew on everything when they are teething. Maybe I just have beavers but I have to watch the woodwork on my baseboards for chewing. Mine have plastic containers that you would store shoes in and a whelping pad under their blanket until they are at least 6 weeks old
and can get out of it and start checking around for things to get into. I just love all the beautiful nurseries but after a week using a bed and washing several times they do already look faded. I am constantly buying or making beds for the ones who are out of the whelping container.

:yeahthat:

I do absolutely agree that all the baby furniture seems just. plain. weird. And I, too, wondered how the mama pups get in and out? :confused:

I also agree that typos and incorrect grammar are off-putting, but my husband is a terrible speller and he's actually pretty successful and 'mart, LOL! ;) It's just not some people's strong suit. I wouldn't hire an English tutor for my daughter whose website had those issues, but a dog breeder? Eh, not a deal breaker for me.

Please note: I have no affiliation with that breeder and I do not know her personally, but I did run across her website and I think her puppies' pictures are gorgeous. Since she is within driving distance from me, I contacted her. In the interest of fairness, here are my thoughts:

She was very responsive and friendly, but not pushy at all.

She invited and openly encouraged me to visit and meet her, the pups, and the parent dogs, see her home, see the nursery, etc. If she weren't 4 hours away I just might have!

I called her vet's office and they gave her a fine recommendation. They said they knew her well and they would absolutely recommend her as a breeder. They told me she breeds Maltese, too (which I knew from the website).

Yeah, the prices for the tinies does seem outrageous, but her other prices (for the bigger pups) seems within the ballpark of lots of other prices I have seen. But I'll be the first to admit, I am still in "kindergarten" as regards learning about Yorkies.

I don't plan to get a pup from her, although baby "Tank" is one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen!!! :love:

Before I purchased Barney, I searched the web looking for a puppy and ran across this site. Even BY (before yorkietalk) I knew that this place was creepy. The vomiting puppy was it for me. I remember thinking that if they took all that time to make the video, they should really have edited a little. However, I am glad that they didn't because it helped shmucks like me to stay away! Yes, the bedding is a little too neat. All of those beds and playpens and only two puppies??? Where are the other dogs? Is it just me or was the vomiting puppy the one that was just licking her lips? Maybe karma stepped in and gave her a bout of whatever her pups had.

Just saw the website advertising more "teacup", "doll face" Yorkies. WHAT A LOAD OF BULL HOCKEY THAT WHOLE, ENTIRE SITE IS!!!

Is there something wrong with a breeder advertising "baby doll faces"?

It's not the Yorkie standard and usually denotes a juvenile look of a shorter muzzle that a lot of greeders use to lure people in and charge high fees. I've seen dogs with quite standard faces advertised as baby doll or teddy bear faced and looked at the dogs and asked if these are the ones advertised! Just because a puppy has a short muzzle as a young puppy doesn't mean it will retain that look as it grows. The term is routinely used with or without "teacup" to rope in people willing to spend anything to get a perpetually juvenile looking dog rather than a dog bred for quality, good health and its conformation to the standard. I personally think the baby-doll face is cute to look at but am far more concerned with health and the quality of the dog rather than it's look in the face when buying a new dog. I heartily wish more people would insist on high-quality dogs rather just the eye-candy aspect - we might have far less health concerns in this breed. But a breeder going for a certain juvenile look to sell dogs often foregoes worries of existing unhealthy conditions in the breeding dogs and their lines and sacrifices that to the eye-appeal of the "permanent puppy" look.

Baby doll face is mainly a short muzzle. Too short of a muzzle leaves not enough room for all the teeth, resulting in double row teeth or shark teeth. Can also lead to breathing problems.

Ajjls Yorkies are still over breeding yorkies and they are all kept in the confines of her basement in cages. She repeatedly takes them to rescues in horrible condition- black teeth, dried feces, nails so long they are embedded into the pads. She takes them to far away rescues. And yes, she is always advertising all over the place. I've heard that she now has 60 plus dogs......Please do not buy her dogs!!!

Sweet yorkie, if you know this as true you really need to report this. If this many dogs are being kept in such deplorable conditions this is hoarding and abusive. If you know someone who saw and told you this then you need to tell that person to report this. If you don't your passively supporting this behavior by allowing it to continue. Please help these pups, the only voice they have is through you!

Just a thought, but does anyone know if a person selling this many pups should be reporting it as income?

this has been reported:aimeeyork

Give me a break
 

OK, so I have read all of the reviews of Ajjls, and I have to say, none of you have actually been to the breeders house, or done your research. I am sure you are writing for the benefit of other competing breeders. I have been to the breeders house, met her, met her dogs, seen the facility, met the puppies, as well as watched nearly every Utube video of her and her pups, as well as other breeders videos. Her dogs are happy, healthy and beautiful. Her pups are happy, playful, well adjusted, and of better quality then any of the other pups I have seen from most other breeders with the exception of one other that I have seen. Her house is clean, which is why it looks clean on the videos. The puppy playpens are clean. You can watch live webcams of the pups and see for yourself! If you care to watch other breeder videos you will see that the puppies in them are scared, and not happy. The breeders simply show them up close to show size and face, holding them by the neck to control the head movements. If you actually watched Ajjls videos, you will see happy, playful, healthy pups. Her videos are the only ones that show the puppy playing, or being held! If you care to read the website, it is very clear that the word "teacup" is used as a search engine term. She states that. The only way to get any traffic is to be SEO and the word teacup is what everyone uses when looking for pups. Her dogs are to standard and are priced where other pups are priced at. So, if you are actually looking for a yorkie you will know this breeder is worth going to, all other comments are obviously from competitors.

Reputable breeders don't have to use words to get "traffic". In fact there is no reputable breeder who would be associated with the word teacup. She also says she will breed females from 2-7 pounds and breeding a female under 5 pounds is not only something a reputable breeder won't do but is very dangerous! That's all I need to know to say non reputable breeder and move on. But you should know that if your a researcher! No competitor here!

What I bolded above is not the only thing I have issue with, but is what I will respond to. I do not try to benefit ANY breeder. I am for rescue. The only breeders that I find reputable are the ones that breed to better the breed, not to make money. And those breeders do not need to use marketable or hype words such as teacup to get people to buy their pups. Trust me. They have waiting lists.

And the fact you are a one post wonder does not help your credibility. Most are thinking you are affiliated with the "breeder" in question.

I am new to the yorkie world and have been researching and interviewing breeders in person and on the phone for months. I am disgusted by the lack of ethics and breed consciousness I have found from many many breeders, or people that call themselves breeders but who are really just brokers for puppy mills. I have found the same photos of the same puppies on numerous sites. So yes, that review was my first post, this is my second. I am NOT affiliated with any breeder, I am just looking for a healthy well bred puppy. I just happen to do a LOT of research and I know what I find. I found the reviews I was critical of absolutely opposite of what I found in person and wanted to get it out there since our of dozens of breeders there are only a couple as I stated that I would buy from and this is one of them.

Then I am thinking you are not doing the right research. I am telling you from experience this is not a reputable breeder. Please listen to those of us that know.

$3800? What is the pedegree? I know it doesn't mean much but it means the breeder is doing there best to better the breeding. My Winnie is from alot of Champion lines. With Bob Westminster and world champion yorkie. In there. She was under 2k. My new on was showing and was way less then that. $3800k there better be something other then per quality. Puppy better poop gold. Greeder..Damn can't spell or post pics on my phone

Alot less then $3800 More then 1/2 as much less. From a good breeder with a history or breeding. Mentored from previous breeders..Who doesn't even advertise pups for sale or randomly breeds them. But even good breeders can have problems nothing a guarantee. But not knowing the breeder in this post. Theres to many "no buy" signals a person who researches and loves Yorkies should see easily. So imo I'm not saying this to promote another breeder. I can get good for way less. JME/JMO Winnie is small. has a "baby" look. But she became pet quality because of it. And not sold to me for more. PPl would spend alot for 3lb Yorkies. She could easily do this.

I've Never Contacted This Breeder...
 

And would never personally call her disreputable based on using certain terms that some deem inappropriate. It could be cultural or as another poster stated used to generate traffic for her site. Her prices are high, but if that is what she feels her pups should be priced at who am I to argue? I have the choice as a perspective buyer to accept her prices or look elsewhere(I'd look elsewhere but the price wouldn't be the deciding factor). Her sires/dams are out of standard and are unappealing for potential buyers who'd like a puppy as close to the standard as possible. Most puppies are cute, but when the puppy cuteness wears off there will be an adult dog that looks like its parents. If neither of the parents are within the standard, then that "cute" pup more than likely won't be either fully grown.
