Yorkie breeders

[buttercup132]

I have taken a really big interest in Yorshire Terriers and although I'm highly doubting my parents would let me get one any time soon I just wanted to see what you guys thought of these breeders.

I really like this ones dogs but they don't really give much info on anything.

I like this lady too she seems to give a bit more info and she has a 5 year health garuntee.

Those are actually the only two I can find that I like and to me seem decent but I dont know what to look for.

We have a rescue near here but they are SO strict. I dont think they let their dogs go to people with other animals or little kids.

You might want to "think" about this thread you made BEFORE you even think of added a new pet.

Oh & cannot forget about this one either.

I have so much to say, but will bite my tongue.. I'm sure others will speak out.

I never said I was getting one, I said I was looking at breeders.
And like I stated in that other thread they are caged and I think everyone in that thread agreed they are harder to care for because of that. Of course I would have more time for a dog, it can come almost everywhere with me and it has the other pets to play with as well not to mention the fact that it can come to work with me. But again like I said I'm pretty sure my parents would let me get one anyways.

Don't even get started with bad pet care as everyone knows what you have done in the past with animals.

Oh Alicia, he he, you are just in acquisition mode this year, aren't you?

I can't say about breeders, I didn't look at the sites as I wouldn't know what I was looking at anyhow. I will just comment on the breed. Terriers do have a high prey drive. OK so not each individual animal within the breed will have that. But remember, you have cats! Yes it is possible to find a Yorkie who gets along with cats fine, no problem. It is just a bit more . . . challenging to find the right dog.

Just my off the cuff thoughts.

The first breeder has thirty dogs (22 are bitches) and had four litters from June 11-25. Even when I was looking for Belgian breeders, two litters a year made me iffy.. but four seperate litters in under one month screams quantity over quality. Raising a litter is hard enough, I can't imagine thirty dogs and four litters. I do like that she has Championships on some of her dogs though.. but I still would look for a better breeder.

The second breeder is against pet stores and puppy mills, so I like that. But at the same time, I didn't see anything about showing her yorkies (I could have missed it though) or health clearances. I also didn't like that she didn't mention anything about tests done on bitches she breeds her studs to.

Based on their sites, I probably would continue looking elsewhere.

Thanks guys.

That's what I read, and they aren't very good with other dogs. But if they are raised with them won't they be ok?

I never saw that.

I have seen in the dogs annual magazine a listing for OZyorkshireterriers but I cant finc the site. Every time I type them in it says it doesn't exsist.

Funny, your going to need to refresh my memory as to what wrong I have done to my animals? The only thing i know & admit to doing wrong was putting a large filter in my 90gal & not realizing that BIG filters eat LITTLE fishies, & Mojo was sucked into the filter to his horrible death I admit that, but thats hardly a reason to say "about your past with animals".

Heres a list of ALL the animals I have owned & been responsible for since I have Joined PT .

Axle - hes 8yrs old & in great shape. The TO zoo & the OSPCA even say so!!

Oscar - Spent a grant in 1 yr trying to fix an illness she had. She lost the fight, as that illness always causes death regardless, but I tried.

Jack - Not too sure, he just died. But Fish have a random habbit of doing that. Sure him dying the first time caused a lot of internal damage, & then he died a yr later.. I'll never know.

Mango - My friend killed him while I was homeless. He refused to follow my directions & poisoned Mango. I had no idea until Mango was already dead. As I wasn't there.

Lilly - She 1yr old & doing great!

Mojo - Already explained that.. Feel like poo cause of that. THAT was my fault 100%

30+ tiny fish in a 90gal tank - Still have them, every single guppy greats me everytime I go near the tank.

Digi - Only had her for 2 weeks. Shes put on weight & has grown. She was very thin when she was dumped on me.

Max - He was murdered while being babysat.


So out of ALL my pets, which ones are you refering to??
Chad's animals?? Sorry they wern't mine. I did my best for Bear. I dropped everything to take care of her & she wasn't even my dog!!


I would type more, but I want to go home as its 5pm & I'm off work

I didn't make this thread to start a fight with you, if you have a problem pm me.
By the way I think you forgot all the rats/mice that you bred and owned and that other little dog Mr.wiggle/Biggles something like that...

[caseysmom]

Why does everyone feel the need to jump on buttercup whenever she posts anything she has been very civil and it asking for help, please stop!

Well, not always. That helps, definitely.

I think someone on PT recently lost their cat, Loki? To a dog they'd lived together for 3 years. It was quite tragic. If the prey drive is there, then you need to always be on your guard.

[buttercup132]

Oh ya, it was CritterCrazy. So I think then maybe I would have to either look for another breed or find a breeder/rescue who socializes them well with cats.

Make sure the dog can fit in with all your other pets too. I would visit them and chem them out before (or if) you are going to get them. They are adorable though

The rats don't count as I bred them to feed to my turtle. I took care of them & they were in a massive cage & always had fresh foods, water, & aspen. I treated some of the breeders like pets, but for the most part they were fairly wild, as they were not bred to be pets. That one male, wasn't my rat.

Mr. Biggles wasn't my dog.

I have not miss treated any of "my" pets. I did my best for other peoples pets, but I have little to no say in the care, or treatment of those animals... Also at the time, what little money I had, went to my pets first, then me & what little that was left over, went to animals I was trying to help... Like Bear.

If you have more to say, you know where to find me.

Yorkie are adorable dogs.
But if I remember you said that you were thinking about moving out and most landlords don't like to rent to people with pets.Most only let you have 2 pets.

I don't think that was me.
After talking to some people about them, as much as I really like them I'm thinking they won't work with my life style if I'm going to have other dogs and my kitties.
