might as well play rock,scissors, paper. And coat is the least of one's worries.

thank you! I agree. I was just making sure my thinking was correct.

When I see puppies priced at $250-$300ish I always wonder "what's wrong with him/her".

Maybe it's just me, but I just went back and looked at the site posted to try and be objective about the coats, but again I wonder what's wrong with the little guy that he's priced so low and others aren't? Is it just because of his coat?

You can choose to purchase from this person if you want but someone with that many pups has to be a puppy broker and puppy brokers dont know anything about the dog lines and if their is health problems in those lines so a cheap yorkie may cost you alot of money in vet bills. I quess its a risk only you can decide if you want to take

Here is there puppy farm/puppy mill...these people are degerates and are established puppy millers...

I have no kind words here...please tag what you will for future puppy owners and YT members....

OP we are a community of Yorkie/dog lovers, we do care where they come from and safe to say none of us condone puppy mills and the tragic lives of the pups being held in awful conditions for the sake of manufacturing puppies for unsuspecting animal lovers.

Many of us have watched our pups suffer because of the breeding of places like this, some of us have lost pets because of these people...ALL of us who have been through this wish to goodness we had found YT before we fell prey to their disgusting business'....YOU have, by joining Yorkietalk, been given a wealth of knowledge and experience that many of us did not have...if you choose to purchase your pup you are taking a huge gamble with falling in love with a pup who may give you years of heartache or even die. It is a fact that few puppymill dogs don't have "issues"...furthermore, by knowingly purchasing a pup from a place like this you are perpetuating the tragedy of puppymills, surely you don't want to do that?

I understand that you don't have alot of cash...but save up and purchase a pup from a reputable breeder, in the long run you will save a fortune and yourself alot of heartache....

Koedam Kennels is Patspups.com...please, please, please...don't do it....

You gotta love the ones who say I want advice and then scream and cry about the advice people give them because its not what they wanted to hear....


OP: By all means, that puppy is going to grow out a gorgeous silky show coat, is going to be a small 5-6 pound pup and will never have a health problem in it's entire life. That price is a steal and you should rush right over and snatch that puppy up before someone else gets him and you miss out!!


There, is that what you wanted? Rainbows and sunshine and for us to blow smoke up your butt??? (and THAT is sarcasm and condescension and I'm not afraid to admit it)

One other thing, as to the original question, as far as the hair of this pup...because it is a puppymill pup there are so many possiblities as to what the pup will eventually look like (never mind physical aspects)...I have seen black dogs turn white upon maturity, fluffy dogs fine, fine dogs fluffy...it really is almost impossible at that too young of an age to be adopted, tell what the fur will eventually be like....or even the coloring..

Thank you! I don't mind people pointing out the dogs birthdays an stuff like they but don't just go out and say its a PUPPY MILL when you've never visited the place, just bc it's not AKC registered. 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

It sounds like the same person keeps commenting. I KNOW THE RISKS, I'm not stupid. Thanks for the concern, but just cuz it's not AKC registered doesn't mean a thing. It's solely based on the integrity of the breeder. I know all the risks. This dog will either be yorkie or morkie. How bout pretend the dog is full bred yorkie AKC registered, read my initial post over again, and then answer about his fur. Cuz that's the question I wanted answered.

This breeder is a puppy miller, they have no integrity, compassion, or scruples of any kind...

I don't understand why you don't want to hear the truth..I would think you would be like "OMG thank goodness I found Yorkietalk and learned all this" Surely you are a Yorkie lover and want the best?

[lynzy420]

I just read all the posts....

Yorkiemom1, I'm sorry you were insulted but you were very well spoken on the facts, Gemy your wonderful, Lovestodream great info as always, TxVicki, Chachi and all the rest;;;you guys are wonderful!!! banned person: you really are something; OP I'm not sure of your real intentions, I sincerely hope that if your really a Yorkie lover you consider all the information you have been given; McheleM you got it wrong: Rainbows out the arse is the correct phrase....lolololol!!!!

Ann can I please have the magicwand for just one day?!!!! lol

p.s. I will shut up now...and OP please, please do the right thing...no matter what though we will be here for you regardless of your decision, thats just how we roll.....its all about the pups!!!!

It can take up to two years for them to grow out but it will.

If this is truly a full blooded Yorkie and not a mix I agree that he will most likely have a silky coat and not a cotton coat which if much fuller. The length of the coat can not be determined. It comes down to how it is cared for and what products are used.

Below is Tinker Bell, a pup from one of my litters at 16 weeks. Slowly starting to grow her longer coat.

Thank you do much for this post! That is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. Your baby is cute has she ever had a hair cut? Did she have really short hair like this when she was little?

Please read my posts and click on my links...this is just some of the stuff I found on them THEY ARE FACTUALLY A PUPPY MILL...KOEDAM KENNELS...their dogs are kept in cages on the property, google maps will show you, and they have a history, if you would like I could provide more information.

Honestly, we really are trying to help you make a good decision, that is why we are all here, please please step back and consider that all of us here just might know more than you do...I only wish I had found YT before I purchased a pet from a Pet Store, as a matter of fact, my Miss Mini could have come from there as Koedams=Patspups.com supply Hunte Corporation...please, please, do yourself a favor and get a healthy pup from a good breeder. Pats health guarantee is that of a puppybrokers, you will have no recourse...
