anyone get a yorkie from luxpup? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ellabee · 01-24-2010, 10:35 AM

this is a canadian website but their fb shows puppies that have also gone to the states. the puppies originate in korea. the puppy photos are adorable, so so cute. its luxpup.ca. these have to be the tiniest dogs i have ever seen. they come with papers - does that mean that their lineage is traceable and they're not puppy mill dogs?

OMG - I didn't get past the first few pictures!!! Did you notice the eyes on those babies? Do you think they look "normal"? How sad!!! No - I would not suggest buying from these people!

cj125 · 01-24-2010, 11:02 AM

I'm sorry - didn't mean to get so excited but those babies look terrible. They look like they have a swollen brain. Their prices are "outrageous".

As far as papers go - what kind of papers? American Kennel Club? I don't know about the Canadian Kennel Club but with AKC you should be able to track their parents but it does NOT guarantee that they are not puppymill dogs. My Mia is and I have AKC papers for her.

I noticed that they had a maltese girl on FB that they called a champion - there's no way she can be a champion when she has never been shown.

Even IF her parents were CH's she would not be considered a champion. Just a ploy for high $$$$

This is just disgusting!

i popped over to their facebook link and the feedback from people who bought there seems positive. i honestly wouldn't really know what "normal" looks like in a pup, mine was 5 yrs old when I adopted her. their pup pics do seem similar to pup pics on breeder pages, i will learn more as i go along. i don't know what kind of papers, i found the website, and came here to ask for advice and feedback. thats as far as i got with it. thanks for your thoughts, i appreciate learning from everyone here.

I agree with cj125. Something doesn't look right with these puppies.

Hello.

My lastest yorkie is from luxpup and she is just so adorable.
She is 8month, 2.5lbs and she is perfectly healthy.

You guys should not be saying those if you haven't seen their puppies in real.

I think they are beautiful and want a female to replace my Lexie. Can you post pics of your little girl as well?

I agree 100%

And OP don't take it bad but WHY WOULD YOU BUY FROM A BROKER!!!Please do your research and try not to encourage the puppy mills business.

BTW : it is ALWAYS very suspicious when someone that never post jhere before come to tell you how great a breeder is... An it is easy to removed all negative comments and keep all the good ones...

There is many reputable breeder on yorkie talk. Ask around and I am sure you'll found hat you are looking for.

Best of luck in your search , you did the wright thing by coming on here asking others first.

All I have to say is be VERY careful. They have people that can lie. They may seem to be legit, but even if they say they bought from there you have to be leary. If you really want one from a specific place and say its over seas.... then request a personable photo. Ask for something specific to be in the picture at your request. Don't let them sway you in anyway, make sure it is something you pick specifically. Like a certain color object. In the mean time i did some searching on my own... so far this is what i came across....

imports puppies that young? My understanding was the pup has to be 10-12 weeks min to fly. Then if its coming from another country (Korea, do't they eat dogs there?) What about quarantine ?

florencelisa · 01-24-2010, 11:56 AM

i'm a little freaked out by the eyes. i'm wondering if the pictures are digitally enhanced or something, I have never seen puppies with those kinds of eyes. i just watched a video, i guess the eyes are real. how weird.

i'm sharing a pic of what i'm talking about

I think they are cute! But they are way too expensive in my opinion! I'm on another search for another yorkie but I'm not trying too pay a arm and leg for the yorkie either.

My yorkie was 12 weeks when I got her.
My first yorkie is from show breeder called fcpreciousyorkies and they both are same in health wise.
I actually like luxpup more because they are really friendly and they even babysit my girl for free whenever I go on travel.

They are different from people who just sell you a dog and close door on you.

I am sure there are lots of gorgeous show quality dogs but they do have very cute and small doll faced babies with short muzzle and that was what I wanted.

First pic is when she was about a month after I got her.
Sorry I only have cellphone pics.
I will post more pics to show you later.
