Breny's Exquisite Babydolls?
 

Can anyone give me any information on this Michigan breeder, previously known as Green's Treasured Yorkies? Thanks.

I think there are a few folks here that got pups from here and have had good experiences. She is a member here as well I believe .

Yes, she is a member here and is well regarded.

Since you are in Michigan, let me tell you who to stay away from: Tanisha Breton / Priceless Yorkie Puppy.

Thanks so much for the heads up. Before finding Breny I had actually contacted her!

I've got to say I'm disappointed Breny has chosen to use the name "babydolls" in her new business venture. I always suggest that someone talk to several members of the YTCA before choosing a breeder. Most of the members of the YTCA are breeding to "better the breed", that means that they do health testing on their breading pairs and know the lines back 5 generations on both sides. Pet breeders are breeding for profit, it's a business for them and when something is a business, you try and find a way to breed for the public and not for the betterment of the breed. Members of the YTCA have been forbidden to use the names babydoll or "teacup" because it suggests that they breed smaller dogs. A breeder should never breed a dog under 5 pounds and this won't ensure breeding a tiny anyway, all it does is put undo stress on mom. Good breeders place smaller Yorkies in pet homes, they don't breed them, so you have a better chance of finding a smaller yorkie with a good breeder. Remember, the standard for Yorkies is "Must not exceed seven pounds", so it's really quiet easy to find a 4 or 5 pound yorkie from a good breeder. (That's the full grown weight, not puppy weight. I wouldn't suggest someone who is young get a 3 pounder, they are usually quite expensive to own because of special needs, allergies, injuries and dental problems. Also, it's best if they aren't ever around children unsupervised.

Please read some of the material in the library before choosing a breeder, just because someone is a member of Yorkietalk and a nice lady, it does not make them a responsible breeder. You have to do your homework and read what makes a good breeder and how are they different from pet breeders. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...e-breeder.html Also, check out the YTCA.

Nancy, as far as I know you're not a breeder and that you're still here telling how to breed and what words we can't use to describe our puppies is, frankly, tiresome!
Brenda is a very experienced breeder with an excellent reputation. Some of us don't buy the YTCA hype declaring themselves the owners of the breed patent!

Nancy isn't a breeder, no...but she is most definitely one of the most passionate people I know who fights against puppy mills and unethical breeding of animals. Puppy Mills etc do use manipulative words to market their pups - words like micro, mini, teacup, babydoll, teddybear ecetera.

So my take on her post is not that she intended to imply she was a breeder who was speaking her mind, but rather as a proponent of mindful and careful breeding as well as careful representation of the breed itself.

I think there are plenty of people who are also disappointed to see/hear that Breny is using "babydoll". However, I believe she has been using this for many years now (or used it, stopped, started again) bc there was an issue about it several years ago and I believe back then she said she was going to take it off the website. Maybe she never did...?

OK, no problem. I'm sorry to see the use of "babydoll" can be disappointing. It sometimes is a very accurate way to describe a puppy. I'm sorry someone in the past misused and turned the word into something dirty.

I think I've explained my website name before. I'm not going to go into personal details here in public , but if anyone would like to know why the name change please feel free to contact me in private ;-).

But it is what it is .... A website name. Yes I breed for an exquisite look that I personally love, which is a small ear and a short nose. Also known as the babydoll face. I do not breed for "tinies" or "teacups". (Although they happen and I do my best to make them thrive no matter what it takes!)

Anyone who is my friend and I've welcomed into my Facebook page knows I'm am open book and share video and photos of my daily life 🤗 I've been breeding for years and am proud of what I produce. Would never think a word in my website name would make me bad. If so - so be it. Lol. My experience and reputation speaks for itself and my many repeat customers who have become my life long friends and family.

Yes this is news to me lol. I will always call mine BabyDolls , if the description fits. 👍👍👍
I think people being a mill and breeding sick pups and brokers bringing in and selling sick pups etc should be what people should be concerned about.

I am proud to say I own a breny baby doll and that is what she is. My Maya is a wonderful well balanced yorkie. I can honestly say that Breny Is a ethical breeder that cares about her dogs. I think that if she wants to call her dogs baby dolls so be it. That's how she feels about her babies. I would get another breny babydoll in a heartbeat.long live the babydoll!!

I, too, am proud to say that one of my babies came from Breny and I could not feel more fortunate to have found her. She is the absolute love of my life and is perfect in every way! We still talk at least weekly and I have had Aleigha for over five years now. She actually chose NOT to breed Aleigha and placed her with a pet home (ME!) instead even though she was right at five lbs- because she was so small. Aleigha was vet checked immediately upon placement and our vet could not say enough positive things about her.

Breny still checks on Aleigha frequently and I simply cannot say enough about her love for her dogs- and her relationship with the families she chooses to place with- after they are carefully selected. It upsets me that someone that doesn't even know her or have one of her dogs would imply something negative about her and her babies due to a website name? Breny has frequently said she purposely does NOT breed for tinies because it is too dangerous. Anyone who actually knows her knows this about her and has heard her say it- and actually practice it- repeatedly.

If you are considering getting a pup from Michigan, in my mind, you cannot go wrong with Breny or with Karen from KP's Parti Time Yorkies. I have one from each and will never- ever- get a pup from anyone else. I am blessed to have their babies in my home (and my heart) and am so fortunate to consider them part of our extended family!

Absolutely second this advice.

I have two "babydolls" from Breny. My Louie is 6 years old and Vinny is 18months. If she wasn't a great breeder, I wouldn't have went back to her for my second. I am beyond pleased with both the temperament and health of my two babies. Also, it was a pleasure dealing with Breny herself! She puts 110% and truly cares about each and every one of her babies. She's a definitely an ethical breeder. She's always available if you ever have questions and loves to keep in touch with her babies families! I don't see all the hoopla with "babydolls". And if you've never purchased a dog from her you shouldn't judge. It was a personal decision to change the name to that. It's just a name and her awesome babies speak for themselves :)

Most of my family is from the south so when they say oh their such a baby doll it means cute, precious ect. so I never really thought it was a bad thing.
