What kind of people are they?

Yes, that caught my eye, too! Vegas is full of HOA's and we pay a lot for them. I've never heard of one getting physically involved with complaints about animals. Normally, they'll tell you to call Animal Control and then they "might" send a complaint letter. I don't think they can come on your property and I know that they're not qualified to destroy an animal. There's one case here where a cop shot a dog - defending himself from an attack - and he was under fire for that. IDK maybe it's different where you live.

From the pics at 1 week old to 8 weeks when we saw her...she had really changed! This is totally normal. You will be so surprised of all the changes as she grows. We drove back to pick Zhoie Bella up at 12 weeks, but believe me they do need that time with their mama and other litter mates to learn proper mouthing and socialization etc. My girl is low keyed and very well mannered and I do credit it to the excellent breeder and the training techniques she used. I too have had dogs all my life and I must caution you, this breed unique little ones, high maintenance and require alot of care, attention and vet care which in turn means...expense. Just want you to be prepared for that if this is the breeder you have your heart set on getting. Good Luck and Congrats!! If I can offer you any advise, call on me. I'm still learning too, as I go along.

Okay sounds encouraging. I think maybe when the family goes up to see her next week when will be able to see her in person she will probably look more normal to me. Thank you for the warm wishes and the wisdom. I greatly appreciate it. Also I am prepared for the cost and she is deffinatley going to be well taken care of. The reason I didnt want too OD on price is because she's going to be a pet not a show dog. Some people have accused me of obviously being ignorant and such but it's not that I dont know anything I was just courious what they typically look like at that age. I have been researching yorkies for about 7 years now so alot of the condecending things others are saying I'm familiar with its just the little things like coat and such that isnt typically something you pick up from book knowledge ya know? but thanks so much for your help this has helped alot =) I will deffinatley call on you! haha I will probably run into alot of things.

i agree with other posters, do your research and check out this breeder and don't breed the dog until you have researched every detail and have a reputable breeder there to help you through your first experience with it.

Okay thanks so much it sounds like everyone else has been saying that too. Yes I deffinatley wont make an uninformed descion when it comes to the life of my dog and anything that pertains to that. Thats why I joined this site to hopefully become more informed by people that are willing to share there knowledge and teach me a thing or too. Thanks again

Yeah thats the gut feeling I had that made me want to post on this site...haha wich I regret doing now. But yes it's just the dog in the first picture I absolutely fell in love with the dog in the second just doesnt look like the first dog I saw. I hope as I have said that when I see her it will be better since its not going to be a cell shot and it will be in the flesh.

I would assume(and I know one should never) that it works the same with yorkiepoos.
If you intend to breed this pup, he is already a 1st generation, although you will probably have very cute pups, you will not have the proper mix unless you breed to the proper generation, and no way of knowing what the pups will look like.
Would also like to mention that My daughter went home and when I next saw Maddy, she looked like the dog in the Grinch who stole Christmas! Two months later her coat changed and she looked the way she was supposed to, Adorable. Good luck, and do your research!

Hi Trixter! well I would just like to clarify when I wrote this first message I was being completley honest and saying the entire situation however I reget doing so because I did not know this site was filled with people who would hack it to peices haha. So I have to clarify on a few things and maybe edit my intial post to help people understand all the other jiberish that had nothing to do with answering my question. Haha! So I was just going to say the dog I am getting is a Pure Bred CKC Registered Yorkshire Terrier with champs in the fathers line. So she is not a Yorkiepoo. I just mentioned about the Yorkiepoo because that was the dog I was going to get intially (whom ever is reading this can yell all they want but its a pet so I'm not being racist and discriminating against breeds just because there mixed) But yes. I did wish to breed her. And give the pups away to my family members remember its not about money it was just for the experience. But yes I would never breed first gen because It would be off. I intended to have my mix breed spayed if I ended up getting her wich I did not. Anways. Thanks for sharing about the breeding and your Cock-A-Poo! the more info I can get the better so Thank you

No your not the only one reading it. Remember...I wrote it lol. I live in an upity community with snobby folks that are realy obbsessed with small breed dogs. They even hold little events monthly for there dogs to hang out. Anways it was a stressful situation and we had no choice but to move there so we moved we brought our 3 German Rott's along (we lived on a couple acre estate previously. So they had plenty of room) however the new place they said that we had to give the dogs away or they would arrange something to be done with them because they had just passed some sort of bill prohibiting large breed dogs. So my father tried to preusade them to alow us to keep them since it was our house and they were VERY well behaved and he hadnt signed to it since they made this rule AFTER we moved there. They wanted nothing to do with that. So they ended up taking our dogs to a Kill Shelter. And they killed them only 20 minutes after they were there so we had no time to arrange any other home for them. Anways thats the situation scrutinize all you want but we have been hurting since then and the whole family realy wants another dog. The Yorkshire has always been a dream breed for my mother and I so we naturally went with that breed. Again this current location is a dream place for any small breed dog with all there events and dog parks and such so that is why I would even considering bringing her here. Anways I hope this information appeases your unsettled mind.

She has checked us out we were at her house for about 2 hours asking and being asked questions while we were touring the premises.

If you are interested in what happened just read the paragraph written to "ARCHIE" above...

[PANAMA69]

I have a friend that have a yorkiepoo she is adorable, so I know what you mean, I also can see the different that you are talking about, still very cute puppies, I will recommend don't rush into anything and go several times (as you can) to ck for your puppy, just be careful ok. Good luck to you

Please don't play telephone. On the inquery about the Shampoo. I ment to say which I beleived I didnt spell right. As so many sickeningly unkind entities have pointed out. I ment to say. THE PUPPY I'M INTERESTED IN BUYING WIEGHED MORE THAN MY AUNTS DISTURBINGLY SMALL YORKIE AT 6 WEEKS she was about a pound and a half at that time.
I will be picking her up (If i do decide to get her which I am not sure that I am, I posted a thread looking for breeders on here because it seems like the people on her know what they are talking about) at 8 WEEKS my mother and I would prefer her to stay longer. So we will discuss that with the breeder when we visit her next week. So we will see how that goes. But anways I never said I'll be taking her at 6 weeks so please do not imply or state that I have.

I posted on that one yesterday and then ran across this one.

The HOA's where I live is just way to in your face and they want to have like some kind of fun community here. And I suppose large dogs aren't a part of that. So that is why they made this whole situation with my now deceased dogs. And yes you did thanks for posting on that your advice was very knowledgable and I deceased it.

[TAStetherainbow]

Thanks Panama69. Yeah thats what I've been essentually hearing from alot of people I plan to visit her next week and I will deffinatley have more questions to ask then I did before. And its good to know I'm not the only one that see's the difference in her.

[kpstoybox]

Am I the only one here who DOESN'T think this is the same puppy?

Even though the picture quality is horrible in that 1st pic...it looks as though the puppy has an all gold, square muzzle at 5 weeks, and now has a much darker, pointy muzzle. The shape and size of the head, muzzle and ears is totally different for being only a week older. I could be wrong...but, IMO..the pics show two different pups.

Look at the pics side by side....

I agree. That does not look like the same puppy

Be very careful with this breeder, OP. If I were you, I'd look elsewhere for a puppy, just sayin

Good luck!

FINNALLY SOMEONE ACTUALLY ANSWERS MY QUESTION! haha!
That is exactly what I noticed that shot was taking about 4 1/2, 5 weeks. the new picture was just a couple days ago at about 7 weeks so shes like 2 or so weeks older but yes. It seems like her nose got more point and shes not chubby or gold. But if you see the first picture that I took whens he was 2 weeks she was dark then she was gold now shes dark again. I know its gotta be the same one though because shes the only one with a little white marking on her chest. Yeah she just looks different and I know they change but i mean drastic dont you think?

Yeah thats what I though!
Thanks for the advice judging by peoples posts I'm going to defiantly try and locate another breeder I just have to get my deposit back from this one if she doesnt look right when I see her in 4 days.

[flafox67]

I think she looks fine too. They are growing so fast that a couple weeks can make a big difference at that age. I'm not going to get on the CKC bandwagon, since my Sophie is also CKC, but be aware of what you are getting. CKC papers are much much easier to get than AKC papers, and most breeders that have had their AKC license revoked, go to CKC.

As for the breeding, I debated for a while weather to breed Sophie just once and finally decided against it. My Sophie has grade 1 bilateral luxating patellas so she wasn't a great candidate for being a mom. In addition, I just read a thread the other day about someone who lost all her puppies over the course of the 1st week. That is heartbreaking and I'm sure she also incurred a lot of vet bills. This breed is so tiny and you have to be careful to find a small male, it just gets complicated. I had pekingese before I became addicted to Yorkies and let me tell you, breeding is a calling. It is a lot of work cleaning up after puppies and a mama dog eats a lot of food. The extra food added in with vet bills for shots, etc, there is little to no money to be made in breeding dogs. Sorry about all this, I just want to make sure you realize you know what you may be getting into here.

My opinion is if you want the puppy, get the puppy, just bear in mind, she's most likely a pet quality Yorkie but I really love my 2 pet quality Yorkies.

They wanted nothing to do with that. So they ended up taking our dogs to a Kill Shelter. And they killed them only 20 minutes after they were there so we had no time to arrange any other home for them.


Are you kidding me? You allowed them to have the dog's or they
just took them and had them killed? This is America and I have
never in my life heard such nonsence! You may have had to get
rid of them within a certain amount of time but there is no way
your going to tell me these people took your dog's and had them
killed without you knowing about it! And the pound did this without
your permission! Sorry this bucket of nonsence just dosen't hold water!
I see major lawsuits, snooty people or not. No one can kill another's
dog in a kill shelter without the original owner giving the ok.
There's a piece of the story missing here.

Yes there is I just didnt think everyone would want to read this. Well they came when the family was out to church on a sunday morning and told my grandparents who live here that they were taking the dogs away because they were in code violations (and if this seems far fetched there is a HOA here in california I belive I'm not 100% sure where but they are evicting a 6 year old who's mother is on crack and in rehab from her grandparents home where she currently lives because she's not 55+ and not able to live in the senior housing. So they HOA's can be obsene)

Anyways so they came and my grandparents signed a RELEASE (we were very angry when we found out its pretty much there fault but they had no clue what they were doing and didnt bother to call us because it seemed so "official" they said) so they took the dogs to a shelter and they told my grandparents that they were putting them in a pound (not that they were killing them) well the shelter within the 20 minutes to 30 or so minutes it took us to get there deemed that our dogs were unfit to re-home and that they would not find a foster or adoptive family so they killed them. They went from our home to dead within a couple hours. so it was a TERRIBLE situation. If you dont belive me you dont have to but it happened. We did want to sue but we have been focusing on relocation first before anything else. Anyways so this new pup will probably only be in this home for a few months.

anyways I hope that fills in the gray area. If you would like me to go into more detail I can.

A release was signed that is the part that was missing.
I am sorry this happened to your family and wish you good
luck with your new pup. However, I would be moving to a safer
and more welcoming neighborhood.
