Larger females in TX?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ranger · 05-10-2006, 09:08 AM

Every add or website is selling small or "teacup" sized yorkies, so where can I find the not so small ones??

I've looked in the paper and called a few people and they say they only breed for small puppies and rarely have one get over 7 lbs. I have a 2 yr old yorkie male who was supposed to be 4-7 lbs but is 10-12 lbs and he is the perfect size IMO.

I know it's hard to guess the adult size when they're young, but does anyone know where I could find a breeder who has puppies that would be 7-10 lbs full grown in the DFW area??

I'm just trying to research and find canidates for when we'll get a puppy in July/Aug.

TIA!!

Ranger,
I am in NJ and I'm having the same problem. I am looking for a bit smaller, maybe 5-6 pounds and all I find is 3-4 pounds! Good luck, hopefully we will both find one soon!

I had a litter in Feb. and out of 5 only 1 is going to stay small. My problem was everyone wanted the small ones. Hope you find some that fit your requirements.

if you're willing to drive, i know a breeder that has a female left that will be 6-7 lbs.

Belladiva79 · 05-10-2006, 03:14 PM

I would be willing to drive but not too too far. Where is the breeder located?

I appreciate your help txshopper but we're not looking for a puppy just yet.

But if you have more info on the breeder I'd love to check them out for future reference.

We bought Nomi in Killeen, TX. Our breeder lives about an hour and a half outside of Dallas. Nomi is about 8 pounds. Our neighbor bought one a year before us. Their dog is about 7 pounds. I am not sure when they have puppies available. Please let me know if you would like her contact information.

Kileen is about a 3 hr drive from Dallas, so that might be too far of a drive for us. But if they are near Dallas then I'd be interested in their information.
-Thanks

She use to live in Killeen, but moved about 90 miles out. I think that she is now about an hour and a half from Dallas. I'll PM her information to you, that way you'll have it as an option for whenever you are ready to purchase a puppy. Best of luck on your search!
