The breeder is very nice and keeps her home(where she keeps her animals) impeccable! I did not get a puppy from her because I found another breeder Ithat I liked better , but I would recommend her to others that were looking into getting one. This breeder:

1) Asked me many questions about my family life/routine
2) Is AKC
3) Treats her animals like her children
4) Home is SPOTLESS
5) Dams have their own birthing room
6) Traces her dogs pedigrees
7) Does all the recommended genetic testing for this breed
8) Feeds her animals some of the best food available
9)Dogs are very social with no tempermant issues from my interaction with them

What else would she need to do to be considered reputable? As I stated earlier in this thread not EVERYONE who uses the term "teacup" is uneducated, a byb, or out to scam you. The word is based on the context in which you use it. It is not very popular on this forum based on what the breed club says. I don't see anywhere within the club's website/guidelines where the term teapot is accepted either but others use it so freely here without any type of backlash. Yes, I understand negative connotations can come up when using the term but to some who use the term."teacup" and own a Yorkie it is just a cute adjective for them to use like the word "teapot"

Truly, like I posted elsewhere, the puppies on the Angel Dog website look just like the puppies in the small dog section of any local Animal Shelter except for far, far less money and sans the impossible and outlandish claims of solving certain health problems and creating permanent puppies.

F2 x F2 = F3 Hybrid Dog

If you start off on a different foot, Amy, I'm sure you will see what a loving community YT is. We will do anything to help dogs, whether they are purebred Yorkies or not Yorkies at all, and the people who love them. You will see people rush in to help with questions, problems, or anything else, even if it's not dog related at all. YT is a passionate and compassionate group who hurt when we see dogs or people exploited. As in any group of people, we have varied opinions, but that's what makes it interesting , and it also helps us to learn and grow. Even after having dogs all of my life, I still make mistakes with Katie, but I am committed to being the best mom I can be to her, and I continually want to learn. Three years ago, when I lost my little angel at the Rainbow Bridge, Ashley, when she was seventeen, I still remained part of this community. I was attached to the people and the pups here. We are not just names on a computer screen. We really care about each other and are an extended family.

To be fair to the OP & the subject of your quote, your quote was from 3/27.
A LOT of discussion has taken place since then. :)

For a puppy that comes with AKC papers and has been raised in an excellent environment I find those prices quite reasonable. She aims to have smaller pups that are healthy but definitely has those projected to be within the 4 lb range and above. The female I saw that she was breeding at the time was within the 5lb range she was just known to give birth to pups on the small side 5lbs or less. I respectfully agree to disagree with you on this topic using the term "teacup" does not put "me off" a breeder as long as I see that they are doing everything else correct.
