How much do your puppies cost?
A: Each of our puppies are priced according to size, sex, and what we have invested in the litter. Prices range from $3,000- $5,000 and each puppy will be sold with limited rights, we are open on selling some with rights but you will have to pay the rights and let us know your breeding program. We don’t support puppy mills. All females under 4lbs wont be sold with rights no exceptions here.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, it’s a $500 non-refundable deposit. First, we take $200 to add you to the waiting list, then $300 when the puppy is about 4-6 weeks, both of which will apply to your puppy’s cost and the remaining is due when the puppy leaves for their new home at 10 weeks.
How big will my puppy be?
There is no way to guarantee a size or guess exactly how big your puppy will grow to be. We do our best to judge by watching how previous puppies grow and follow growth charts. Our favorite chart is located at www.puppyweights.com. We can only tell you what your puppy is charting.
Does my puppy come with a health guarantee?
Yes. Your puppy is covered for any congenital health defects for 1 year. Please see our contract for details.
Can I breed my puppy?
All our puppies are sold with limited rights, we do sell some with rights but you will have to pay for the rights and also let us know your breeding program. To us is important that our puppies get the best home and the people buying them know what to do. All female puppies less than 4lbs are sold with no breeding rights, is not safe to breed them and we make sure we let the buyer know this.
How many dogs do you have?
We currently have 5 females; we are adding another female soon and also our stud. Robin has 3 females and Veronica has 2 females and will soon have her 3rd one, and our stud who will be shared by both. All are in our homes and are part of our family, well taken care by us, and loved by our families.
How old will my puppy be when he/she can leave?
We prefer all puppies be at least 10 weeks before they leave for their new homes. This ensures that they are well socialized, have proper vaccinations, are eating well on their own, and most importantly are stable enough for their new homes.
Do you have “tea-cup Yorkies”?
There is technically no such thing as a tea-cup Yorkie. The Yorkie itself is a toy breed with a standard weight of up to 7lbs. The term tea-cup was made up to describe tiny Yorkies under 4lbs.
Do tiny Yorkies have more health problems?
No, however, tiny Yorkies can become hurt more easily. Their tiny bones can break more easily than those of larger, more sturdy Yorkies. Everything about a tiny Yorkie is tinier and it is more susceptible to getting hurt. If purchasing from a reputable breeder from good lines, a tiny Yorkie should be just as healthy as a full-sized Yorkie.
Are Yorkies good with kids?
In general, I wouldn’t want to sell any puppy charting under 4 lbs to homes with children under the age of 5, it really depends on the child. I have nothing at all against children as I have 2 small ones of my own, but this is for their protection and for the protection of the puppies. Small Yorkies can be accidentally hurt by children very easily from an accidental drop, an accidental kick from running through the house, or other general accidents. Yorkies over 4 lbs are wonderful for children and make perfect family pets, if trained correctly.
How are your dogs socialized?
Our puppies are held and loved from the day they are born and raised in our homes. They are socialized with their litter mates and Yorkie families and loved by our family members.
Will my puppy be potty trained?
No. However, we do our best to have your puppy using potty pads at least 90% of the time. We do not take young puppies outside because we feel it is unsafe for them to be out without full vaccinations. It is very easy to teach your puppy to potty outside.
If I no longer can take care of my puppy, will you take him/her back?
Yes! I have a lifetime return policy, no questions asked. I will always take back my puppies no matter the situation or how much time has passed to prevent them from ending up in a shelter.
How long will my puppy live?
The average Yorkie lives 12-16 years depending on genes, feeding routine, and health care.
I’m having trouble deciding, should I choose a male or a female puppy?
Many prefer a female because they want to dress them up, add a bow and have various pre-conceived notions about owning a female puppy, but you would be surprised how their behavior is very different from a male puppy. Alpha female Yorkies tend to be more stubborn and independent, and can be territorial. As for male Yorkies, it can be the opposite, yet all of them have their own personalities. I have also noticed that many people believe that all males will lift their leg in the house, which is not the case. Neutered males rarely exhibit secondary sexual behavior such as “Marking” or lifting their leg. Males who were neutered early by 8 to 9 months of age usually don’t ever raise their leg to urinate since they no longer have the higher testosterone level of an unneutered dog. The house-training of a neutered male is no different than the house-training of a female. If the male puppies are usually sold for less, it’s due to there being less females available, not because females are better than males. No matter what you choose, a Yorkie of either sex will be a wonderful companion for many years, bringing you joy and unconditional love. The fun part now is that there’s variety of choices of clothing and accessories for male and female puppies and you can dress either one up without much difficulty.
