Before buying my puppy I would definitely go in person to any breeders I was considering and check them all out.

Thanks a ton for all the guidance!

Odd question... my boyfriend and I are huge orioles fans... and I wanted to get his dog (and eventually mine) Orioles jerseys... but the only one online is black and has "00" on the back and it's just ugly... anyone know of where I can get an orange one... or even an orange O's t-shirt?

Haha... thanks!

Sonja at PocoMutt.com will custom make you one

I bet you want Ripken's number, right?

There are also some great breeders listed here, further down in the Yorkies for sale sections. Check there as well

Welcome to YT

I just put in a request to pocomutt.com... awesome stuff!! I want to get Orioles t-shirts and I'd like to get a Sean Taylor t-shirt/jersey for my boyfriend's (die-hard Skins fan) and my dog, Zulu

...

Thanks so much for the recommendation!

Hi Nicole,
I just joined and saw your Help notice my name is Doug and my wife Susan and I have been yorkie breeders for over 21 yers we also have a Medical Clinic in Fairfax County Va. I have personally known 4 of the breeders at DCDogfinders for over 15 years. They have exceptional pups both purebreed and Hybrid (F-1). As a Vet I find the chat about "MUTTS" somewhat of a "giggle" it has been proven time and time again backed by science , experience and studies that Hybrid "puppies" or Purebred "puppies" if bred correctly can have excellent health history and genetic traits.. the problem with many purebred dogs is that often they are either overbred or without proper "Parent History" are bred. As a breeder, a Vet and a person of "some knowledge" I have found that it will be forever argued between breeders that age old question and comments each have. I think both need to look at the puppy, the history, the breeder, the health warranty the breeder provides, clearences and who and how they are bred.. as for the "general comments reagarding "www.DCDogfinders.com" website I would reccomend that you contact them and or read their site. I knew their grandfather for over 35 years one of the finest breeders and Vet's I ever met, they offer a 5YR 100% Money-back Warrantee on all their puppies and a LIFETIME RETURN Policy. The quality is exceptional, the enviornment thet these folks have is 5 STAR all the way! Brad is a great guy and his wife Lauren is actually a Vet being a puppymill is about the last think these folks are and as a customer of Lauren's I was shocked to see such an attack on such wondeful folks, there are 9-11 breeders in total all "In-home" and "Family Breeders. I personally think that they are what ALL breeders should strive for .. they are absloutly some of the best breeders of purbreed and Hybrid (F-1) in the country they don't just talk the talk they walk they walk! You should call them and tell them DR. Doug sent you over the years I have reffered them to many of my clients.
Good Luck!

Doug,

Thank you SO much! Do you still breed Yorkies? If so, would you mind sending me some information on your dogs (pricing, availability, etc)? I'm about to graduate from school and am looking to hopefully get a female puppy in the next few months!

Your post was very helpful!

Thanks again!
Nicole
