| Decissions, Decissions Hi everyone! Jack and I recently made the decission not to get the dog from Puppy Paradise. Now we are facing harder ones trying to decide where to get a dog from. We had several e-mails, names of breeders, etc from Yorkie Talk. We were supposed to go to 3 places tonight to look at dogs, but we only made it to S&V Quality Canines and then it was to late. I fell in love again with a cute female yorkie, that should only be about 3 1/2 to 4lbs. I dont know if I want to continue looking or should I just get her. We have been looking and wrote and called a lot of people. Everything that we have found or have been seeing is around the same price and if we get anything out of town we have to pay for shipping. So she is in the running. I have read some good things about them so far does anybody have some feedback on this place. Both, negative and positive feedback is welcome. Thank you all for all your help and advice. ***It is in your hands to get me pumped up so we can bring my new FUR BABY HOME! YORKIE TALK IS THE BEST!!!! -Janine & Jack |

| I don't think we need to pump you up! When you finally pick out the right baby, you'll be pumped up on your own will! lol It sounds like you're on the right track! Good luck. I don't have any feedback for you, though! Sorry. |

| All I have read has been good... He is not a pet store.. .He is very knowledgable. Were looking for 4 lbs tops and he showed us a few at the same age different weights. There very well kept and it didnt even smeel like there was a pup in there. asked eachother a ton of questions. Also for some reason it took like 25 -30 min to get to the south end of Brooklyn. yea thats true i dont need others to get pumped |

| What does your heart tell you??? If that is the right dog for you, I think you will just know it. Best of luck. We want pics when you get your dog. |

| How old is the puppy, and when will you be able to get her? Can't wait to hear. I've been thinking about you guys. Names...pictures...all that fun.

| She is 14 weeks old and she is ready to go as soon as we pay. I am just worried about her size. Ivan told me that the father, who lives with him is 2 1/2lbs and the mother is 3 1/2 lbs, who lives with his cousin. She is so cute and I would love nothing more to get her this week, but I am very nervous about the size situation. Just because I wanted a yorkie that will stay 3-4lbs for so long and now I am nervouse that she will be bigger and we are scared from the experience with the dog from puppy paradise. |

| I know this isn't a real popular opinion here, but I have to say it so others reading these messages looking for a pup will see it too. Anyone selling pups that they did not breed is a "dealer", "pet store" or "broker". Until people quit buying from these types of places, no matter how clean or nice they seem to be puppymills and large commercial breeders will continue. There are quality breeders in every state in the country. Of course I will add the usual JMO to please anyone who doesn't think this maybe a fact. |

| I would be worried about getting a healthy yorkie more than worrying about their size. Have you even seen a 3-4 pound yorkie in person? When I went to see my breeder most of her adult yorkies were around 6 pounds and they were very very tiny. My gosh, smaller than a lot of human babies when born. I would look for breeders that belong to YTCA and who follow their code of ethics. Good luck finding your baby |

Did you try contacting any of the YTCA Breeders that were on the www.ytca.org website in your area?

| I reccomend Quality Canines.. I was told Mocha would be about 7 lbs, however, she is aroud 6.5 now and I don't care if she's 15 lbs.. I love her and she's been great and Ivan was great!! I have seen Yorkies who were very small (like 3 lbs) and they looked so unhealthy.. If I were you, i would get a dog that will be healthy!! Good luck and if you need any info from Quality Canines. please PM me!!
