That's not what I said at all. I said "... they appear to look very much like the Yorkies we see winning at AKC dog shows ..."

I KNOW they are NOT of show quality. My point was that facially, they LOOK very much like the standard - like AKC Yorkshire Terriers.

It appears to me like you girls are giving the impression that small dogs will have health problems and that non-small and AKC registered dogs do not. To be fair, generally this may be true, but is NOT ABSOLUTE. To the OP and others who may be concerned with this issue... Point of fact - Our 'teapot' yorkie we got from a small kennel, who, at that time, bred exclusively Yorkies, is AKC registered and weighs 14 lbs. She looks less like a Yorkie than these Velvet Touch Yorkies, she's had both knees operated on for LP, she's got allergies and other health issues. In addition, frankly, she's a little neurotic.

I've read many posts from YTers who have NOT had health issues with their small Yorkies.

In closing, all I ask is for us to use a little more discretion, restraint, and understanding when discussing other kennels, their breeding practices, dog sizes, appearances, etc.

That website was a big TURN OFF!!!!! What's the difference between that Kennel and a puppy mill? Mass breeding. Personally, it's important to me when buying my dog to get one that was raised in a family environment.

Did you see the the Sires that was only 1 lb 10 oz. That's way too small.

There is no way I would consider buying from that breeder and can't believe anyone (especially a YT member) would.

There is no such thing as a "teacup" or "tiny toy" yorkie OR poodle :thumbdown

She does have some cute dogs that look well taken care of in the pictures, but I highly doubt they look like that on a daily basis....not unless they have a full time grooming staff working for them :rolleyes:

Ok, here's another take to show it can go either way and that there are no guarantees...

Sad story warning -
Many years ago, we belonged to an AKC kennel club. One active member of this club was a lady who raised and showed Great Danes. She had 7 Danes living IN her house. All things considered would lead one to believe she was a truly responsible pet owner and breeder.

She told us, quite openingly, that she had recently bred one of her bitches for a particular color for showing. Her dam had 11 puppies... none the sought after color. They were, however, otherwise all quite normal, healthy, and excellent specimens of the breed. But there were not the sought after color. She could have had the local paper run a free ad but all it would have said was "free dog". She could have posted posters. She could have given them away from various parking lots and places. No. Instead, she chose to put them in paper bags and freeze them.

It just goes to show you that sometimes you just can never tell.

Being the OP, these responses are exactly what I was looking for OPINIONS of everyone. I mean somtimes Im confused when I look at a post about a site, and I think the site looks pretty good. But some of these people with much more knowledge than I say, I would never purchase a puppy from there. I am learning I need to know WHY they would or would not purchase a puppy from a particular breeder. I need to know the red flags. This is the first expensive animal I have purchased and I do not want to spend that much money and purchase a sick puppy for more than I might have spent on a very healthy puppy. And I am by no means saying that this lady has sick puppies, Im just saying in general.;) Thanks a million!!!!:aimeeyork

What cute puppies........I don't condone breeding females under 4 lbs and wouldnt buy from someone who mass produces puppies or the puppies live outside the house. I do have to say the puppies are very cute and she has 237 pages of sold puppies, so if you have never seen anything negative about her, it would appear she seems to be selling healthy puppies and that is a good thing. I am glad the origional OP is asking questions and getting many opinions. If you decide to buy a puppy from this place I would suggest you go to the kennel and see it, not have a puppy shipped. The puppies are darling but I would want to see the parents since she doesnt state who they are and see the actual living conditions. Good luck in your search.

I'm afraid not. We thought about it long and hard, but we had no proof. :( She simply would have denied everything.
