hey natalia ! im from brooklyn as well and im searching for a yorkie to be a wonderful addition to my home . now, before i purchase a puppy my parents insist that i do TONS of research . i did notice puppy boutique, when i googled puppy shops in bk . i researched them and got HORRIBLE feedback. ive read that the puppies are treated sooo poorly :[ . when i did visit, the service was horrible. when one of the women that worked there, asked if we were purchasing a puppy today, and we replied no - she rudely walked away. she also took forever to let a yorkie out of the cage so we could hold her . we observed that many of the yorkies were sleeping. a woman beside us whispered that she noticed vomit in one of the cages. and to top that , the same rude worker pulled out another puppy from the back of the store and it looked like DEATH. such a horrible experience :[ . i am a newbie so excuse on of my terms that sound a little off. but so far the whole YT family seems friendly and they are SO helpful. natalia good luck and i hope my response was some what helpful. maybe we could even keep each other posted ; one bk chick to the next ;]

My friend got a yorkie from here that died of coccidia after one week of having him. This is a puppy mill pet store. I live in NYC and I flew out of town to get my yorkie. I would really recommend doing your research and finding a akc breeder. Do not buy a dog from this pet store/

Before traveling to NYC, the owner emailed me and told me the prices for their "teacup yorkies" were between $500-$1500; however, they were realistically between $1000-$2500. I purchased my baby for $1600...only for him to die 2 weeks later due to congenital problems.

When my puppy initially got sick I took him to the vet and was told he'd have to be hospitalized. I immediately called Puppy Petite to see how they wanted to handle paying for his hospital bill because in their "guarantee" they state that they'll cover all medical expenses if it's due to congenital disorder. Puppy Petite told me that they would not reimburse me unless I took the puppy to one of their vets in NYC. Can you believe they wanted me to bring my puppy 400+ miles to NYC in order for them to cover the vet expenses? My vet estimated the costs to be $2000+ dollars and there was no guarantee that my puppy would survive. Due to the high costs, I chose to have my puppy stabilized and transported to NYC with an IV to Puppy Petite’s vet so they could cover the costs. My puppy eventually died due to a congenital disorder and Puppy Petite refused to give me a new puppy or a full refund for the purchase price. I'm still trying to battle with them to receive a refund.

Please do not purchase from this pet store, they have negative ratings from Consumer Reports and have changed their business name a couple of times to stay in business. They are also known as Puppy Boutique.

The same thing happened to my best friend and she took them to small claims court and won!!! It had nothing to do with the money but the principal- this store is disgusting. Not only did she buy a sick puppy but that puppy got her other yorkie sick!!!! I'm so sorry for your loss- hopefully someone will learn from your awful experience.

Hey I actually saw their page on Myspace and I messaged the person and he promised me if I came in person he would give me a dog for 700 just because I had a pretty face. He wasn't professional at all and cared more about getting a date than telling me about the puppies when I asked for information. I think they're a puppy mill as well be careful.

Katamami29 · 12-29-2008, 11:39 PM

I wonder if you got your doggie yet.
My friend got her Yorkie from this guy named Henry who is a breeder in NJ
She loves the breeder and loves the puppy too. She saids he suported her all the way.

Hope this helps.

I wished I have seen this tread last November when I was looking for a puppy. It would have saved me a trip to NY.
Puppy Petite
THEY ARE HORRIBLE
HORRIBLE PLACE

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

I hope someone can take them out of business because that's not the way to treat those little cuties.

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

First off, Hi and Welcome to Yorkie Talk...

Be very careful of Greenfield Pets. com and Lancaster puppies.com... If you look @ the Breeders names you will see that they're Amish and PuppyMills. Stay away from them. They pose them with cute little wagons,Beanis Babies and such. But, They're still PuppyMills. Be very careful who you buy from. Please do not go to a pet store, too many puppymill pups and brokers there. I wish you good-luck in finding your baby. Be patient and the right one will come along...

I'm sorry But she is still a baby Lot's of thing's don't happen til there older. I pray your baby is fine But it still doesn't take away from the fact that this place get's there puppies from a Puppymill.
Did you know that they get there puppies delivered to them on a big truck.
Truthfully Prepare Now with a bank account if you already don't have one Because Coming from a Puppymill There could be Any Health Problems & it can be very expensive.

That's Great New's! I hope it's the same for the future.
Please do some research on some health problem's in petstore puppies.

Also behavioral Problems.

"Obedience instructors and canine behavioral consultants will be happy to tell you about the temperament and behavior problems that develop in many pet shop puppies as they grow up.

Bad temperament shows up later.Most pet shop puppies start out playful and friendly, but as they mature, their genes begin to assert themselves. If their parents or grandparents had shy or aggressive or hyperactive temperaments, those genes will show up during adolescence and adulthood.

Many pet shop puppies are nippy. Some were removed from their mother before 7 weeks of age, a critical period of time where she teaches them "bite inhibition." Some have learned to nip from interacting with so many potential owners wandering through the pet shop, including kids who tug and play roughly. Most of these potential owners thought the nipping was cute, didn't correct the puppy for it, and so the habit becomes entrenched.

Housebreaking can be a problem.Finally, raised in a small cage in which they're encouraged to eliminate freely, pet shop puppies are notoriously difficult to housebreak."
