:)Hi Everyone..we adopted Mica from a show breeder in New Serepta Alberta, and Kali from a show breeder in Calgary Alberta. They are about the same size 3 1/2 - 4 lbs, are both girls and have wonderful temperaments. We are very happy with having adopted both girls. They are the love of our lives!! Belly rubs to all of your fur babies....Cory |
All of my guys are from rescue Yorkies Inc. |
I bought my baby boy, Monster, at a pet store. The seller swore up and down that he didn't come from a puppy mill. When he was 10 months old, I noticed something wrong with his back legs. Turns out he had severe degenerative arthritis in both hips, both kneecaps luxated, and an open fontanel. He was in a lot of pain but still managed to be loving and fun. He went in for surgery and died when his heart fibrillated. I did a lot of research and found out that the seller lied. I also learned a lot about the death camps where these poor pups and their parents have to live. I'm haunted by the thought of Monster's parents and all the other dogs suffering in the mills. I intend to fight to put the mills and the pet stores out of business, but for now all I can do is cry.[/I] Your story touched my heart. I am so sorry for your little baby Monster. You are so right that those puppy mills are horrible, and should be all charged and put out of business for their horrible cruelty to all dogs. I admire what you are attempting to accomplish, you should be very proud of yourself. Much love, Cory |
I have been breeding yorkies since 1988 and consider myself lucky to have been owned by my babies.I guess I was blessed to have gotten my first yorkie from a very good breeder, Gloria Lipman, she is a awsome lady.:mademyday . I had 3 of her babies to start out with, and have had my own linage since. I've learned a lot in these years and still learning after 20 years. :Pawprint: All of our children are very well taken care of and very spoiled.:lovewings |
I admit I purchased my little love bug from a Pet Store. I had never heard of Puppy Mills or the possibility of Pet Stores getting their pups from puppy mills until I joined YT. I am so much better educated now and will have more knowledge for future pups should I ever get another. I don't regret getting Derby from the Pet Store, he is such a love and I couldn't imagine my life without him in it.:animal-pa:animal-pa:animal-pa:animal-pa |
I got Leo from an older woman who could never have children. She adores animals and gives her puppies the most loving care. She has her business out of her home, and each of the puppies are her babies. She cried when she said good bye to him. I have long since become wonderful friends with her. |
I got Taz from my SIL who decided they had too many dogs. He was from my other SIL woho ended up moving out of our place and in with them. The mom was already living there and she brought the father with her when she moved in. So basically we traded dog's. The mother is pregnant again and I was going to get one of the puppy's. I am glad I got "Taz" instead. He is the greatest little furbutt I could ask for. He was only 10mos old so he was easy to train and re-train the bad habits he had. |
I had to pick more than one. One girl was retired from a breeding program, one girl I got from a breeder and one girl I held back from my own breeding. |
My little yorkie came from a pet store. The poor thing had sat in there for two months because nobody wanted her. :cry: I couldn't ask for a better pup, though. She was even on sale because she was there so long. :( |

HERE HERE!! Same here. My baby still has kennel cough or flu with runny nose, cough and sneezing. 2 courses of antibiotics did not help. I'm hoping it'll clear on it's own. :( I consider him a rescue even though he was a puppymill puppy. I rescued him from a horrible existance. And that, in the end, makes me feel a bit better. I will never again buy from a pet store. I will only find reputable breeders in my area. I've learned a lot since we got him, especially from here on YT. :yorkietal |
I got my first baby (now 4) from a show/reputable local breeder, when I lived in Washington. He came with some bad habits though.....they said he was paper trained....yeah right! First thing he did was pee on my wall when we got home! ~Though I only have 2 babies now.....I have had three Yorkies :( We purchased a 'teacup' yorkie from a 'luxury puppy boutique' in Las Vegas. The poor little guy was actually from Oklahoma! He died within 2 weeks. The necropsy showed Renal failure. I spent $7,000 on vet bills in the week and a half we had him. Bringing back these memories......I am going straight to the breeder section and writing a warning!!! The little angel that came into my life to heal my heart is from a breeder in Louisiana. He came to me spoiled and chubby....the happiest little guy I had ever seen! He turns 1 this month on the 17th!!! Cooper dob 9/1/2003 Baron dob 7/17/2007 RIP Bennigan |
Maya came from a Show Breeder ....... her Daddy is a 3 Time Champion here in Germany ....... her real Name is 'Maya vom Talhof' ..... and we are very proud of it ..... :cool: |
got wookie from a show breeder; she was the most trusting and didnt give off hints of shadyness like other acclaimed breeders (who i think were backyard breeders)....but that was just my personal experience. :animal-pa |
Byb !!!!!! |
We got Tootsie from an excellent breeder in PA. She was very helpful with all my questions before we got her. This breeder has the parents on the premises as well. Her prices were much better than others I had talked to..and she wasn't snotty...very upfront and honest. I knew about Tootsie two months before she was born. I don't believe in pet stores for buying a puppy..those dogs are usually sick and from a puppy mill. |
