Diana, Welcome to YT!!
My MIL's name is LeiLani which I think is a very beautiful name.
Can't wait to see pictures of your baby girl!

Our first yorkie Lucky came from a small pet store before we knew any better, but he is VERY well mannered for the most part, more so than our others lots of the time. Toby came from Sugar's Mom here on YT, and our other two Lexie & Halle both came from the same responsible home breeder. Love them all for all of their different personalities.

Newman our first Yorkie came from a byb/small puppymill. He would have been 10 yrs. old but passed away this past summer. We didn't know any better back then but now educated he is the reason I am so involved with rescue and trying to shut places like this and pet stores/brokers down.

Bella, Noel and Lilly were rescues. Bella we got at 5 weeks old when she was near death. She's now almost 5 yrs. old and is a beautiful healthy girl. Noel came to us at about a year old. She came from where Newman was from. She was a mess. Abused and suffering from parasites. She's now 4 yrs. old and although still very timid has come a long way. Lilly came from Burlington Animal Alliance. We found her a month after we lost Newman. She was 13 weeks old. Her $400 adoption fee covered her vetting, shots and spay. She's now almost a year old and precious.

Tia is sort of a rescue. We got her out of the newspaper and she was malnurished when we got her and extremly scared.

Jersey was bought from a neighborhood breeder. We had found out that our Newman had cancer and didn't have long with us. It was Mother's Day and my husband and two sons went to the house and came home with Jersey for me.

scrappydoo came from a Responsible in home breeder.

Thank You, Bailey! I only have 2 photos...that were mailed to me
but they are very fuzzy :( to copy and put on my site.
I'm trying! :rolleyes:
It's so funny that you were my first replier here on YT!

The Bitch that just delivered my baby is named, Bayley ;) and your
MIL's names is LeiLani how funny :D (not sure what a MIL's is?) but cute
names... just different spelling on both. I'm not sure how I want to spell
LaLoni yet. I thought of spelling it L-a-L-o-n-i-e only so I don't leave an "i" on the end.
Just in case I need to write down "La Lonie's"... dumb thinking I now!
But... I actually thought about it. Way to much time on my hands.

Slade came from a lady I found on petfinder who said she had gotten the mom from a lady who was about to go into a nursing home and when she took the mom to the vet she found out the mom was pregnant. I researched her thoroughly and it sounded like she was tellng the truth and he was truely a rescue.

However, lately I've found out a few things that make me wonder. I hope to god I didn't support a lying BYBer.

Angel and Zoey
 

We bought Angel and Zoey off of the same breeder. She is very good, clean and has all her puppies vet checked several times before they go to new homes.
I have taken them to my vet and he said they were very well taken care of.

Edie was born to a first-time Yorkie mother who was an only pet. The owner had owned Yorkies for decades as pets. I think she had only bred her female Yorkies a few times.

Edie and her sister were raised in the house--in Maine you don't leave any dogs outdoors. When I went to see her, she had the run of the house (except for the carpeted areas).

I guess I would consider her a "responsible in home breeder" but I have also referred to her as a backyard breeder because it was not a kennel-type business.

Congrats on your new baby and welcome to yorkie talk! I love the name you've picked out (and personally love the traditional spelling). BTW, mil is mother in law:)...didn't want to leave you in the dark.:D Looking forward to pics!

Thank you, GingerGirlsMom! I guess I'm not up to much on the short-hand lingo. So I can scratch that one off my list. It's so funny everytime I see one I don't know I will write down on my little stick-note and paste it to my laptop. So I have one more for you. Do you know what "BYBer" stands for?

LOL, you're so cute Diana! I think that's Back Yard Breeder.

My yorkies came from Heaven:D.

But in between there and me, Max came from what I guess would be responsible in-home breeders...a couple who had the mom and bred her purposely to the dad (who they didn't own), and had one litter of puppies. And that's the only litter they'll be having.

Madison was found out in the desert. The shelters think he was probably part of a puppy mill-type operation.

I love them both so much!

Thanks nvnvGirl... BYBer = Back Yard Breeder. The message makes sense now!
I'm having to start a list of abbreviation's and what they mean. I have them on sticky notes on my laptop screen for quick reference.
The only ones I knew before YT were LOL & BTW... I don't send text messages so I'm a little bit :rolleyes: clueless?? Oh well!

show breeder and have been very happy with my little gal.
