Hi guys I am a yorkie breeder on the Eastern shore of Md that has Champion Line puppies Tiffany Line. They are 5 weeks old and I am taking deposits now. I also do not charge even half of what I am reading you guys are getting quoted for quality puppies. It sounds like these people are trying to make a fortune on a baby instead of trying to find a loving healthy environment for their babies.

wow she has some gorgeous puppies...has anyone else have experience with this particular breeder?

She does have some gorgeous pups....but did anyone else who looked at the pictures notice that the past puppies pictured with their new families look awefully young? In fact, on the "First Weeks" page where you can see pics as one puppy grows up, it looks like 8 weeks is the last pic she has, and one of the pics may even be of that puppy being held by its new owner. Now, that being said, I got Bella from a BYB when she was 3 days shy of 9 weeks old......BUT it has been my understanding that most "responsible, reputable" breeders keep them until they are at least 10 if not 12 weeks old. (I'll also say that I really LOVED having Bella at 8 1/2 weeks and would have really, really missed all the growing she did between then and 12 weeks old! She had already changed so much by that time.....I'm truly torn by wanting that bonding time and hearing that they need to be with their mothers longer. IMO, Bella is perfectly well-mannered little girl with a very pleasant disposition..she's independent at times, but is still very much a mommy's girl...just hard for me to think that she would have been better off staying with her mother for longer. I say this because, though I noticed how young the babies appear to be when they leave that breeder, I also am not fully sure how I feel about that....just noticed it is all. ;) )

I just wanted to add an addendum to my statement just in case anyone was swayed in any way....that was certainly not my intention.
I was contacted by this breeder regarding my statement and was told that the pictures I saw on her website of pups with their new families, are in fact pretty young....however, these are pictures of families VISITING their new puppies, not of them as they are leaving. She wanted me to know that these puppies don't leave her home until they are 10 weeks old. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't done any damage since what I noticed in passing was incorrect. And again, I will say, I think this breeders pups are absolutely gorgeous, and if I lived anywhere near VA, I would be very tempted to find my next cutie there :D

The first pictures of the puppies are taken at my home between they are 7 to 8 weeks old. I also send this pictures to their new families..
Some other ones are from when their families come to visit them.... and from when they come to pick them up!:aimeeyork

I will post their age at my website..so there will be any confusion:animal36

Yorkshire Terrier puppies
 

Hello to everyone I am new to Yorkie Talk, my history is I showed a number of dogs not yorkies in the 80's, got my first yorkie in that time frame. Have loved them ever since, early breeding failed, so I got involved in my career, and just loved them. Since I have retired I have had time to try breeding yorkies again and have had several litters. I guess I am called a backyard breeder, however quality is important to me. My mommy has champion ancestors as well as the stud I used. They produced 4 darling babies (all girls). I agree with maltesemommy, you can get ripped off very easily. I try to be fair. Looking forward to to reading Yorkie talk often. :animal-pa:animal-pa:animal-pa
