| Hi, welcome to Yorkietalk. I am not familiar with that breeder but I looked at her website. Her yorkies are pretty. I don't care that much for her health guarantee. I did not see her mention a guarantee against genetic defects like liver shunt. Also it looks like she sells the pups at 8 weeks. It would be better if she kept them longer. Good luck in your search and please keep us updated.

| Precious Paws has terrible standards and they are very unprofessional. Don't go there! |

| Fancy Pups before I was educated. She has no parents on site and offers ACA paper only. I called her before visiting the pups and did ask her if she was a breeder. She told me no that she was selling for friends. I trusted her..my fault. When I went to check out her pups I immediately fell in love with Hannah. I later learned a whole lot from Yorkie Talk and when I saw a puppy mill list here I saw the original owner in Oklahoma on that list. Hannah was a beautiful strong little puppy up until 8 mos. old when she was diagnosed with LCPD in her left hip. She did have surgery and is recovering well. I let Fancy Pups know but never received a response from my e-mail. Like I said I learned a lot but too late. I feel blessed to have the means to take care of Hannah but will never stop worrying about her siblings and parents. I love my little girl with all my heart and I guess she was just meant to be with me.

| Yorkiemom1 would be a good person to talk to. Not sure if she is still breeding or not but it would be well worth talking to her.

| I am talking to her now, thanks for the recommendation. Glad that Hannah is doing better. These phony breeders annoy me so much. All they care about is the money. |

| I have a male puppy available. He will be 5 months this week. Was holding onto him as a show prospect but have decided to place him in a pet home
