Where did everyone get thier Yorkies??
 

We live in Iowa City, Iowa and we got Baxter from a breeder in Amana, Iowa. I was just wondering where everyone in the midwest region gets thier yorkies, and if anyone got thiers from the same breeder we did.

Gazou , Heidi and Athena came from show breeders of Michigan and Illinois ,

Ashley came from a show breeder of Ontario , Canada .

Is ther anyone else from Iowa on here????

Good Morning -

Your Little Yorkie Is Soooo Cute! Who Ever You Got Your Yorkie From Sure Must Breed Good Looking Yorkies...i Am From Central Illinois...that Is The Midwest Right??

Well...when Dennis And I Were Looking For A Yorkie We Could Not Find Any From Someone We Felt We Could Trust..there Were Probably But We Couldn't Locate Them ...so...we Heard Of A Good Breeder In North Carolina And Bought Our First Male Yorkie From Him...we Were Very Pleased..our Pismo Is Just A Doll And Fit Right Into Our Family...he Is A Silky.

Eight Months Later We Looked Around In Our Local Neighborhood For A Female But Again Of Course We Couldn't Find One...so..we Called Mr Allen...he Said One That We Would Like Was Just Born But Still Pretty Small And Too Young Yet To Send...but...when She Got Old Enough...yes..we Did Purchase Her And Was Very Pleased...great Lil'bit, Great Personality..fit Right In With Pismo And He Loves Her From The Day We Brought Her Home. Now...the Only Thing I Didn't Know And Mr. Allen Probably Thought I Did Know Is That There Are Silky And Wired Yorkies...i Didn't Know That. Well...when We Received Her We Were Sirprised To Find That She Was A Wired Not A Silky Like Our Pismo. Well...we Feel In Love On First Sight And Decided To Keep Her. Lil' Bit Has Bore One Litter Of (4) And Now She Is Pregnant And Due Dec 28th- Jan 1st. And We Are Very Excited...she Is A Great Yorkie And A Great Mother And Girlfriend To Pismo...she Keeps Pismo In Line Even Though She Is Smaller...ha..ha..

Well...enough Written...hope I Gave You Enough Info...probably More Than You Needed....hope It Helps...welcome To The Yorkie.com Line...

We got our Tucker from a small breeder in Old Bridge, NJ. She is a member here, but not very active. :D

I'm from Northeastern Nebraska, west of Souix city on HWY 20. I got one of my Yorkies from Lu Tomes in Minnisota. She is an awesome dog. If you want to find her site just type Lu Tomes and Yorkies on a search engine. She met me half way with my little girl (4 hours). She is great to work with. I got another one from Julie Phipps in St. Joe, MO. She is also a beautiful pup: however, she hasn't yet grown all of her adult teeth :( , which the vet suspects might be genetic. I also suspect that this lady may be running a puppy mill, every thing with her seemed really fishy. My male yorkie I got in Newport,NE. He is a great dog, and she has really reasonable prices. Ususally males for around $800 female for $900 and a discount if you get more than one. Her web site is something like sandhillspuppypaws.com. There is a picture of our girls on the photo gallery if your curious.

Jade , Mitsou and Nathan are rescued Yorkies .

Cali is from a breeder in Rockton, Il

I got Baxter from a breeder at Maxwell, just south of Ames

I was given Bunni as a christmas gift from my mom, she got her from a woman in Michigan who got her from a Breeder in Sand Lake, Michigan. She's very small (only 3lbs, and that's about a pound heavier than when we got her, she was skin and bones) and a little monster....haha :)

I was born there and lived there until nine years old. so Yes, techinically. Souix City to be exact. But I got Tigger off the net. Couldn't help it, saw a beautiful five week old pup and fell head over heels for him. Five weeks later he was mine. the breeder even drove out forty five minutes to meet us from OK. He's fiesty, smart and down right hilarious but he's the most intriguing dog I think I've owned.

pixie was a local rescue we got her 8 wks ago from a ladie who had had 3 her being the youngest the others were matted and then we got lucky pixie was still little few matted but not much but was eat up with fleas and when we got her and cleaned her you could see relief and i would have taken them all but after i chose pix then another lady came and got the other two and she got a sad hand full neither of those poo adult dogs were house broke and were use to doing it everywhere she was going to use pix to breed to her two males once she got bigger i am so glad that someone stepped in and i got pixie

We purchased Ralph from a breeder in Greenville, Michigan.

Starsky came from Hutchinson, Kansas

I was in Hutchinson for work a couple weeks last year, the Cosmosphere was kind of neat. :)

Nebraska
 

I grew up in the sandhills in western Nebraska (not far from Chadron if you've ever heard of it. I lost my little 8 1/2 year old yorkie Kramer a month ago today (See RIP - I can't believe Kramer is gone). He was attacked by another dog right in my own neighborhood while I was out walking him. He was on a leash of course but, the dog charged at us so fast I didn't have time to save him. I miss him so much and didn't think I would ever get another dog but my little chihuahua is so lost without him. She is so depressed that she won't even play with anyone. I feel guilty that she doesn't have anybody to play with while I'm at work. I have started to look for another yorkie (I live in Atlanta now) but they just don't seem as cute down here. I think I'll see if I can find that Sandhills yorkie site.

I know most of you won't know where this is but here goes anyway!
I got Pippa in Kent UK which is about 125 miles from where i live in Southampton UK :D

Rockton???? That's where I live. I have been looking for puppies in my area! Not sure which question to start with :) Where at? How do I get their number, are there ads in the Rockford Register Star?? I wanted to wait until the weather got a little bit warmer. My sister has a small dog (beagle puppy) and is being very stubborn with the potty training in the cold weather. Thank you!!

Thor was born in the mnts of NC but we got him in raleigh...I now think from a broker... :mad:

snickers came from a pet shop... (i didnt know!) which got her from a broker in kansas....which got her from a breeder in kansas
straight up puppymill i found out 2weeks later.... I live in RI and there are NO BREEDERS listed in this state anywhere but next time we bring another yorkie into our home i am going to have to figure something else out...a nearby state maybe?
But she is wonderful and we love her..so glad to have her :)

Don't feel bad, the same thing happened to me with Baby. :)

It is hard to find breeders in Colorado too. The ads in the paper are people from out of state that will bring their dog to Colorado. I know they are puppy mills.

Where we got Zeke
 

We got Zeke from Knapp Creek Acres is Amana, IA and we're from Cedar Rapids. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this breeder and would recommend them to anyone looking for a Yorkie!

Hi, welcome to Yorkie talk. I adopted my 2 dogs from my daughter's dance teacher and she got them from out of state breeders - she shopped long and hard before buying. Good to know there are good breeders in Iowa, though. I certainly have the itch for more - but in DM they limit you to 4 animals. In addition to my 2 Yorkies, I have 2 Siamese cats I used to breed - but the male is now 17 1/2 and my female just turned 14.

:aimeeyork :) Yorkiesmiles

We got both Baxter and Bailey from Knapp Creek!!! Everyone that I have talked to has had great things to say about them.

I live in Wisconsin... I flew to dallas to get poopsie

I got Muffin from Amazing Yorkies in Fairfax, MO. Had a great experience with this breeder. I have a friend who got her pup from Knapp Creek in IA as a few on this regional forum did. She was also very happy with her experience.

I got my scrappydoo from a breeder in carisle Iowa.

Diego, how great that you rescued your pups.. I looked for a rescue before I broke down and bought my Tootie from a breeder in Texas...

My Maddie came from a breeder in Orange County, NY. We visited her from the time she was 2 weeks old until we brought her home....she passed away just three days after we got her from pnemonia ( apparently she was sick before we brought her home) she was at the breeders when she passed away so we never got to say goodbye....

Gracie came from unfortunelty a pet store ( Rufus & Co is paramus, nj) I was grieving and should not have gone in there...but i did. She was staring right at me and low and behold three hours later she was mine. In hindsight I think it was meant to be she has had many many health problems in her year with us and i think that all of the fear and anxiety from losing Maddie has made me strive to be the best mother I can be to her.

Just the other day she was at the vet and he looked at me and said you know some other people would have never had gone through all you have with her but you have stuck with it and have the best dog you could ask for. He is right she is sweet and well behaved and of course the queen of the vets office the girls call just to check on her and we stop by whenever we are in the neighborhood so she can run around and give all of her drs kisses...... :aimeeyork
