And you never know, she's an older lady that may be horrible at keeping her website updated. I may get there and she'll tell me there's morkies listed as yorkie on the site, and she may differentiate them...all I hear is mostly judgements, no wisdom

Unfortunately, some of the hardest, well taught lessons are the result of the cruelest, most heart breaking well learned mistakes. There used to be a country western song about, "If you're sitting on the train tracks, and you hear the horn and whistles and bells, and see the flashing red lights, and you dont move, whose fault is it when you get run over?"...or something like that! I used to love that song....reminded me of ME in my younger, stubborn, headstrong days.....I finally learned I could avoid all the heartache and misery if I let OTHER people go thru it and then tell me about it!!! I LEARNED TO STAND STILL AND LISTEN!!!

:wavey:Welcome to YT ! To be honest, I think it's not pure yorkie so I can't even begin to comment on the coat length. The color doesn't look rite to me BUT it could just be the pic, BUT the other 2 pics appear to have normal coloring so IDK. I would like to educate you further though, if you don't mind. If at all possible Please dig deep about a health contract & ask lots of questions as to past pup's health as there are some things yorkies are prone to these days, due to bad & mix breeding . Some of these things are AAI, Chiari, Liver shunt & LP. You may already know about these things but if not then Please do some research on them & educate yourself further as some are life threatening without prompt & proper treatment the pup will die. Also get familiar with the latest vaccine protocol as many vets & BYB's still over vaccinate pups & this can lead to GME & other autoimmune illnesses that are very expensive to treat & also life threatening. With that said, I wish you much luck in your search for your new little family member & look forward to seeing your new baby whatever it may be.:)

All these babies look alike...it is what is going on inside where YOU cant see, that the breeder has done everything in her power to be sure it is all put together correctly and working in tip top shape, assured as much as possible thru her breeding program.....you DO NOT GET that concern and care and planning from a puppy mill! And it does not come for $250.00 either! And, God forbid, something DOES malfunction, an ethical breeder will stand with you and behind her baby...she loves that baby even MORE than you do, and it is never far from her thoughts and heart, even years down the road.

You blew out a fuse trying to insult me and fortunately, you missed your point. I SIMPLY asked for you to point out the threads YOU found hateful and judgemental...of course, you could not do that, because they do not exist on this thread, to this poster. ....you are accusing me of being all you accused others of being and you have absolutely NOTHING THAT I HAD WRITTEN, TO BASE YOUR UNFOUNDED "HATEFUL, RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL" remarks you threw at me, on! In conclusion, for my final circus act, I would add, puppy mills do NOT exist because knowledgable people "can not get their point across" to people that are not interested in listening. They exist because uninformed people continue to look for and purchase puppies from them. Educated, well meaning people can only share experiences and knowledge with people that are not aware of red flags and danger signs when they crawl over them to get to a cheap puppy. "You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink".

I will say categorically that any purebred puppy which is bred from a long line of health tested and proven champions can not be had for $200 or $300 or $400 or $500 dollars. Of course very rarely there are catastrophic circumstances that can occur, and these puppies must be placed quickly. How-ever in my experience those happenings are usually handled expedituously by the breeder's support network.

And yet again, one doesn't go to a show breeder to buy a "pet" because they want a show dog. They come to us, for a number of important reasons. The care, attention, passion, and dedication of the breeder, and the all around quality of the dogs we produce. They place a premium on health, temperament and structure, and value the support they will be given over the lifetime of a pup we place with a vetted owner.
