ISO male puppy/young near Dallas
 

Hi.
We have decided to get our dog a dog. We have a 3 year old chihuahua that has been missing his pal Nikki since we moved. I have always wanted a yorkie and believe this is a great time to add a new member to our family. Peanut, our chi is owned by my 7 year old daughter and spoiled rotten. He is great with other animals and kids and is 5 pounds. We are looking for the same in our new puppy. Please let us know if you have a male puppy for us or can refer us to someone.
Thanks

I am still looking.. can anyone gives me refs for reputable breeders in or around dallas/arlington/fort worth texas.

I am a bit scared with all the ads in the area and would really like to deal with a good breeder. Thanks

Sorry I don't know anyone in your area..but wanted to wish you good luck in your search.. :D

The absolute best breeder in this area is Gloria Walsh @ www.chrismarkkennels.com. I have two of her pups and would recommend her to everyone!!! She is a wonderful lady and there for you always and ALL her adults and pups are dearly loved and taken excellent care of!!! Let me know if I can be of any futher help! Good Luck

I just checked that site and it looks like a very clean kennel. There are only a few dogs in each box and it seems that each of the 16 inside boxes pictured has access to an outside box for fresh air.

thanks
 

the puppies are cute.
I may have to give her a call this weekend

Did you look at the pics? :zip:

Wow, she has a lot of dogs.

:eek: just did, well I may just rethink that visit. We are looking for a pet, nothing really fancy smancy.

I am not a dog fancier, I don't know why I feel more comfortable getting my pet from someone who raises them in the home. But thats just me

Thank you..I agree.

Isn't that sweet of them??? :(

Omg!!

That's A HOT MESS!! :eek:

What you see on Gloria's website is EXACTLY what you will see when you go there. All adults, pups and humans are just one big happy loving family!

Well I just have to say this....I don't quite understand the negativity of some re: this post. Gloria's kennel is approx 50 yards from thier back door. It, as well as their home is almost brand new. Her kennel is air conditioned, heated and SPOTLESS! There is a huge fenced yard all around it for the "kids" to run and play. She was a vet tech for many years and idolizes her babies AND it shows the minute you arrive. They have a slew of toys and every ear on the yorkie pups is standing tall and she will not let them go ANYWHERE until they are ready and that sure is not at 8 weeks.
I spent months and months traveling around looking for my babies. I turned in two different kennels in this area for their filth and pitiful shape of their babies and kennels. I left many a place in tears because of the neglect of their pups and their parents!!
This is one case where I feel it is so unfair to judge unless you have been there. To each his own...however I feel you should do your investigating personally before demeaning someone. Stormi and Rainbow are the pups I got from her and they are now 6 and 7 months old and a picture of health. Pics of them are attached!
To the lady looking for the pup that lives in Arlington, I am in Grand Prairie right off I20. Take a chance amd make the short (about 30 minute) drive to Godley to her place, and you will be pleasantly surprised and amazed at her beautiful dogs....ALL OF THEM....EVERY BREED!
Good Luck

PS: Guarantee
 

PS: How many of you got a TWO YEAR guarantee with your pups like she gives with hers.?

Luv
I dont think it matters the length of the health contract to most reputable breeders, what matters is the condition in which they are raised. IMHO raising yorkies in a true kennel situation is not optimal for proper development regardless of a "2 year health guarantee" or cleanliness of a out building. The daily interaction required to raise not only a healthy but HAPPY PUPPY is not nurtured through wire fences and cold cement floors.

IMHO this site is quanitity not quality!

First of all, perfect example of the fact that I said you cannot judge with seeing the place, is the fact there they are not cold cement floors. There is indoor/outdoor carpeting throughout.
Second, Gloria spends her enitire days in her office IN THE KENNEL that houses new pups and their mommies. It is her life's work as she is not a young girl!
She, her husband and grown daughter do more one to one NURTURING, of the pups as well as the parents, than many people I have seen that just have pets.
I see you are a breeder and I am not going to argue about what I KNOW and have SEEN WITH MY OWN EYES, oh probably a dozen times at least, as I go out just to take my babies and visit occasionally!
I am a 60 year old lady, raised shih tzus about 20 years ago, and have seen my share of breeders! The sickening ones I have been to far outnumber the good ones. I doubt if there is a human living that loves furbabies more than I do and there well being is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ME!
As I said to each their own and no-one can JUDGE anything sight unseen.

the pictures tell all
need I say more!

That's more or less how I made my judgement of the place. Pictures speak a million words.

I am sorry, but this site looks to me more about $$$ than the animals no matter what you say. A reputable breeder in my oppinion is one that limits themselves to one maybe two breeds and goes to great lenghts having daily interactions with their babies. Ok, I am sure they can see her from their locked cages, but they dont have the ablitiy to run play and enjoy life like the average dog. Tis puppy room is what got me, I can not believe that this seems ok to people, I can see having a keenel for safty, but not to house all the dogs I cant contain myself properly.

Post them all to give a fair view. The one you posted made the statement right beside the picture that new pictures would be taken in Spring when everything turns green. That pic was taken on a dreary damp TX day!
She certainly doesn't need my praises as she has years of happy, happy customers and years of excellent references. But with the way some of you judge something you have not seen yourself, I feel I am doing her an injustice to post her website on here so I will leave it to folks who are sensible and intelligent enough to go and judge for themselves if they are looking for a wonderful, happy, extremely healthy pup.


Am posting this pic as well as what is stated beside it as follows:
This is the west side of the kennel. The entire kennel is climate controlled and all of the dogs have their own beds and toys.

Oh my goodness! Be fair, you are looking at PICTURES! She couldn't have them all running around while she tried to take the pics for her site. When you GO THERE in person, they are NOT locked in their cages, and are running and playing all over the gated area which is HUGE!!

Then why does she need the separate building to house them in boxes?

Sorry, I really don't understand your question, but they are certainly not in BOXES period. Now I am going to leave this post to you who draw your own conclusions for something totally site unseen. My babies from her are awesome, healthy pups and she is an awesome christian good lady with a great loving family and deserves better than this. I would be so embarassed for her to read this entire post as all I was doing was recommending a GREAT PLACE TO BUY A HEALTHY, HAPPY, WONDERFUL PUP!

Oops....sorry...just had to post this adorable baby that I went to see last week. She has the same parents as my precious Rainbow. My Rainbow has 39 champions in her pedigree.

My only response here is that images speak for themselves, weather notwithstanding. Box pens are just that and multiple breeds housed in a separate facility from family living quarters just promotes a different atomosphere from what I prefer to see. It is my opinion that yorkies raised underfoot in the home as part of the family and exposed to the sounds, smells, sights and interaction that all that entails have a more solid foundation for a well rounded temperment that will better suit them for a family life in future.

Come on YTer's, be fair. We have never meet this breeder, we have never been to her facilities, or owned any of her puppies, so it seems unjust to make comments about things we do not truly know about. The breeder isn't even here to defend themselves, and the person who posted the wanted ad, hasn't been helped to find a yorkie puppy, which was the orginial goal of this thread. Some of you might be upset over the pictures from her site, which is understandable, i don't particuarly "love" them, BUT just viewing photo's isn't enough to draw a well rounded conclusion about someone's breeding ethics. The person on this thread who has the most knowlegde on this breeder is Luvmybabies. I also prefer to get a puppy who has been raised in a home, but that doesn't mean that using a kennel is wrong. Plus luvmybabies puppies are too cute for words, so there breeder must of done something right :)

still looking
 

Like I said, I am unfamiliar with the whole breeder buisness thing, I just feel more comfortable with a puppy raised in the home. Thats just me. But I have spoken to the lady and she seems as sweet as she can be, when she told me she had 40 dogs in her kennel it turned me off a bit.. But I just may drive out there to see for myself.

Thanks everyone.. And I am still looking.
