Kia was $1,500. She turned 9 on 12/27. She was too tiny to breed/show. I wanted a tiny girl. And she is the sweetest little girl on the face of the earth. :) |

Somehow I missed your post. Sorry.:( Sydney is far more satisfied since I put her on Evangers canned. I am stunned at Susans indifferent attitude...or maybe not, since she wasn't too concerned when I told her that Kia has a terrible overbite. (I mean, it' so bad, that when I lay her on her back, I can see the roof of her mouth, with her mouth closed.) I am surprised that she told you that she doesn't breed her dogs. I wouldn't think she'd want people to know that bit of info. Aha! They live in the basement! I finally realized that when I called her two years ago...she was talking about how she has to go up and down the basement stairs to change the puppies papers. I agree, so many breeders think LP is acceptable and it shouldn't be. If I ever get another Yorkie, I am not going to be so because someone has 55 champions under their kennel name. Kia was 12 weeks when we got her almost 9 years ago. I hope Sammy won't need the LP surgery, but if she does...my vet does excellent surgery. Sydney twisted her knee, tore the ligament, etc. and he did such a good job, even he can't tell which knee he fixed. |

She has 55 champions to her kennel name now...so, it makes me wonder if she has two separate types of breeding she is doing...some good lines that produce champions, and then some others......to make money. I'm very disappointed to learn thats the way she's doing things now. |

Honestly I think she only told me because I asked if she was a broker or how did she otherwise have puppies and no parents. She was nice and I had no reason not to believe her. Again, I'd never done this before. Someone just told me it was better to go to a breeder than a pet store. I've learned quite a bit since then. The breeder I'd gone to the week before had puppies peeing all over her living room and when you picked them up they shook. I wan turned off because mom was solid gold and dad was grey. The puppies were cute, but compared to that Susan's "experience" seemed an improvement. Quality Yorkies are hard to find around here and I was desperate for one. I was patient the second time and Sammy just kind of fell into our laps! Loki is still my baby though, even with all of his issues. Medical problems aside, his lack of socialization remains a challenge to this day. I can't imagine if someone got him who wasn't willing to do the amount of training that I have done with him... |

I looked at Kia's pedigree. Her Sire is CH Mischief Maker, and he has 40 Champions in a 3 generation pedigree. There is a lot of Clarkwyn in his background. Kia's Dam is Stardust Smooth as Silk, and she has 28 champions in a 3 generation pedigree. A lot of Popan's in her line. In the Dams pedigree, the champions are predominantly in the 3rd generation out. In all honesty, Erin, you cannot blame yourself for not doing your homework, because if you had talked to any show breeders that knew Susan, they would have given her a thumbs up. My Sydney came from a lady here in Indiana who had used a show breeders stud. Sydneys Grand-Dam is CH Stardust Treasured Gem II. I met the owner of Sydneys Sire when Sydney was 6 months old. She said Susan was a very well respected breeder in the show world. (She had tried to buy Sydney from the owner of the Dam, and the lady refused. Then, she begged me to show Sydney. I declined, saying Sydneys job is life was 'to love and be loved'. Then, she tried to convince me to breed her. She wanted a puppy out of her so bad, she said she'd pay me whatever I wanted for a puppy. At first, I agreed, but then I saw the living conditions of her dogs, and I knew I never wanted one of Sydneys puppies to live that way. They lived in cages, in a separate building from her house. She let them in on a rotating basis, but still, it bothered me.) I think it's very important that any time someone asks for a reputable breeder in our area, you tell them Loki's story. Loki is very lucky to have you, because many other people would have dumped him at a shelter. |
I have 2 females and a male of sale (not ready yet) pm me and I can send you pics. I live in Indiana, about 2 1/2 hrs away from you. |

Son of a champion TeddE is the offspring of Ch Stardust Firecracker (finished 10-30-04) and Stardust Classic Kellie. I cannot figure out the certificate or the other sheet she gave me. Doesn't matter now, I spose. I purchased solely on emotion. I had just lost my older yorkie and saw this guy's little face backed up into his little carrier in her kitchen and gave her the money. |
My first yorkie I found thru a neighbor who had purchased one for her mom. I went to the seller's house and found three little yorkies yapping and running all over. Mom in one crate, dad in another and another female. They were clean, looked well nourished and one of their kids were brushing one of the older yorkies. They were born in August and put up for sale around Thanksgiving. No papers. No akc. We chose one of the "boys" for around $300. The owner needed to "clean" the house - the wife had left him and her yorkie business. We got to see the condition and temperament of the parents of the puppies. What a joy. I had no idea what I was doing. Now that I have this TeddE, I would suggest that you see the parents. I could have gone anywhere and plunked down $800 for a puppy. They sell them for that price at a lawn and garden store in Indiana ! My first Yorkie had no "papers" but what a beautiful yorkie. This one- with papers- is just a dog and he doesn't look yorkie. So decide first what you want and perhaps keep emotions in the car. Every puppy is adorable when they are 10 weeks old. I hate to say this for I do love him - he's a bit of a dud. Doesn't play. Doesn't really do anything. But eat. I'll try him on a new food but I swear he is depressed. Or at least he acts like it. |
Pixie's dad isf Stardust's firecracker and Dixie's Mom is Stard ust's Classis Kellie. So they are closely related. Pixie's Grandfather is Mischief maker. |

I have used the Artemis Small Breed and my girls did well on that, too, but Sydney seems to gain on kibble, as opposed to canned. I chose Evangers when all the foods were having recalls. Evangers is manufactured in Wheeling, IL, and they get absolutley nothing from Menu foods. |
