I think I fall in the final 2 categories…. My dogs are my PETS, first. ey live inside, go shopping with me, and chill on the couch. I have had dogs that could compete in the Show Ring, but aſter investigating the lifestyle required “to show;” I declined. “Show dogs” are kept in wire crates constantly with minimal playtime outside. I want my dogs… to be…well dogs! I will tell you, my puppies are NOT going to be the cheapest out there, but they aren’t the most expensive either. A lot of time, energy, love, educa- tion, and expense went into EACH puppy raised. Below are some of the questions I get on a regular bases. Should you have any other concerns, Just Ask! WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? I am located on the South Carolina coast, in beautiful Conway, SC area. WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT? I will accept a personal check for the deposit, but cash ONLY is required for the final payment. HOW OFTEN DO YOU HAVE LITTERS OF PUPPIES? Typically, I have around 6-8 litters a year. All of my Dams’ heat have synced up, so when one comes into heat, they ALL come into heat. WHAT BREED PUPPIES DO YOU SELL? I sell AKC Yorkshire Terriers, only. DO YOU GIVE A WRITTEN HEALTH GUARANTEE? Yes, I guarantee my pups until one (1) year of age against life threatening congenital or hereditary defects. To validate the health guarantee, Buyer must have their new puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within five (5) days from the date puppy leaves my home, and all vaccina- tions, health exams, etc. must be kept current. DO YOU SHIP YOUR PUPPIES? No, I do not ship my puppies. ey are just too small to go in the “cargo” sec- tion of a plane. ARE PUPPY PRICES NEGOTIABLE? Each puppy is priced individually depending on conformation, quality, desirable features, gender, color and bloodline. A HUGE amount of time, effort and money are put into raising healthy quality puppies. I do my research and feel the prices I’m asking are very reasonable and reflect the quality puppies I am offering, prices are Non-negotiable. AT WHAT AGE DO YOU LET YOUR PUPPIES GO TO THEIR NEW HOMES? Typically, I let my puppies go to their new homes between 8-12 weeks. If a puppy is slower to mature or smaller than his/her littermates, then I will keep that one longer. DO YOU NAME YOUR PUPPIES BEFORE SELLING THEM? Yes, each puppy is given a “temporary name.” is begins to teach the puppy name recognition. Of course, you are welcome to change it once the puppy is yours. DO YOU ALLOW PEOPLE TO VISIT YOUR KENNEL? For safety reasons, I do NOT allow people to visit my “kennel” because my kennel is living room. I would be glad to give you references from my Veterinarian, Groomer, and previous people that have purchased my puppies. I rent space in a public/ professional location to show puppies at 1415 3rd Ave, Conway, SC 29526. is is the ONLY place I show dogs and puppies. HOW ARE THE DOGS MANAGED AT YOUR HOME? I had custom “Rainbow Row Runs” built for my adult dogs and “Puppy Picket Fence” Runs for my whelping Dams and puppies in my living room. Dam and Newborn pups are kept in my bedroom until they are around 3 weeks old, then moved to Puppy Picket Fence Area. All dogs and pup- pies live inside my home. I only allow TWO (2) Adult dogs per Rainbow Row run and ONE (1) Dam per Puppy Picket Fence Run. HOW DO YOU MEET THE PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF YOUR DOGS AND PUPPIES? 1. Optimal diet (Dogs are only fed 4.5-5 star dog food at all times) 2. Fresh water and Air (Dogs are encour- aged to play outside in the grass daily, weather permitting) 3. Adequate sleep (Each dog has his/her own “woobie” to promote optimal sleep) 4. Appropriate place and opportunity to eliminate (Dogs may eliminate inside the home on the Trinkle Turf or outside in a designated area.) 5. Appropriate veterinary care, including monthly flea meds, vaccines, and rabies shots 6. Regular physical exercise ARE BOTH SIRE AND DAM ON SITE? Yes, both parents are on site and available for viewing. IF YOU DON’T ALLOW PEOPLE IN YOUR HOME, HOW DO I SEE THE PUPPIES AND PARENTS? I would be glad to meet you in a public place and bring the puppies and Dam for you to meet everyone, including me. Bringing both the Sire and Dam with the puppies can be difficult, as most Dams are aggressive towards the Sire. So, to

If you do an on-line search for Yorkie Puppies for Sale everything under the sun will pop up. There are ALL kinds of Breeders out there: USDA Licensed Commercial Breeders (Puppy Mill), Backyard Breeders, Hobby Breeders, and Pro-fessional Breeders. I think I fall in the final 2 categories….

My dogs are my PETS, first. They live inside, go shopping with me, and chill on the couch. I have had dogs that could compete in the Show Ring, but after investigating the lifestyle required “to show;” I declined. “Show dogs” are kept in wire crates constantly with minimal playtime outside. I want my dogs… to be…well dogs! I will tell you, my puppies are NOT going to be the cheapest out there, but they aren’t the most expensive either.

see both parents we would have to schedule 2 separate times to meet the Sire and Dam, but 100% doable. HAVE THE PARENTS AND PUPPIES BEEN SEEN BY A LICENSED VETERINARIAN? Yes, the Sire and Dam have been seen by a Vet before being bred. The puppies are seen by a Veterinarian TWICE before going to their new home. The veterinarian’s findings, including a compete Wellness Exam and documentation is given to the new owners when the puppy is sold.• HOW LONG DO YOU OFFER GUIDANCE/ ASSISTANCE ON YOUR PUPPIES WITH THE NEW OWNER? I offer lifetime support for my puppies and dogs. I want you to contact me with questions or concerns throughout the dog’s life.• DO YOU OFFER REFERENCES FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN, GROOMER, OR PREVIOUSLY PUR-CHASED PUPPIES? Yes, absolutely. I would be glad to give you this information, just ask.• DO YOU SELL PUPPIES TO PET STORES OR UNKNOWN BUYERS ON THE INTERNET? No, I do not sell ANY dogs or puppies to pet stores. And I require that I meet every new Puppy Owner in person, No Exceptions.• IF THE PUPPY DOESN’T WORK OUT, CAN I BRING IT BACK? Yes, all puppies/ dogs may be returned to me with No Questions asked for the life of the dog. Monies will NOT be refunded, but I will always accept the canine back.• HOW MUCH ARE YOUR MALE AND FEMALE YORKIES? Pricing starts at $1,500 for a traditional, toy size male yorkie. Females are typically priced higher. Of course, the smaller the yorkie, the higher the price and the more unique/ rare colored yorkies are also priced higher.• HOW DO YOU ENSURE THAT EACH PUPPY IS 100% YORKSHIRE TERRIER? Each puppy is sold with the Sire and Dam AKC pedigree, displaying the most recent 3-generation lineage. Rare Colored Sires undergo DNA Color Analysis through Animal Genetics and AKC DNA Profile. A copy of ALL documentation is given when the puppy is purchased. • DO YOU OFFER A NEW OWNER PUPPY PACK FOR EACH PUPPY? Yes, each puppy pack includes a variety of items to make the transition to the new home a seamless one. Each puppy pack is individualized for the needs of each specific puppy.• DO YOU SELL MICRO, TEACUP, AND/OR TOY SIZE YORKIE? Yes, sort of. “Micro, Teacup, and Toy” are all adjectives describing the predicted SIZE of yorkie as an adult. The actual breed of the dog remains the same, Yorkie. The terminology used can vary from Breeder to Breeder, so be sure and ask each Breeder how THEY define each size. I define a Toy size yorkie as 5 pounds and up. A teacup yorkie is defined as a yorkie between the sizes of 3-4 pounds. A micro yorkie is a yorkie that is less than 3 pounds as an adult. I do NOT breed specifically for teacup or micro yorkies, but I do get them occasionally.• MALE OR FEMALE YORKIE PUPPY? Personally, I prefer a male dog to a female. Male dogs are more affectionate, loyal and tend to bond stronger to 1 per-son. Female dogs tend to bond equally with multiple people. Male dogs can be harder to potty train and must be neu-tered EARLY to prevent marking, but once the male dog understands where to go potty, he WILL go potty there and there only with minimal accidents. Females will learn quicker where to go potty, but will “stealth poop/ pee” if she doesn’t feel like holding it.• WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE SALE OF EACH SOUTHERN YORKIES PUPPY? • AKC LIMITED Litter Registration• Canine Registration Paperwork is issued at time of sale.• Puppies sold are identified by way of microchip, 10 digit 128 MHz.• One Year Health Guarantee/ Bill of Sale Contract• A Starter Puppy Pack Kit• A Trinkle Turf: Potty Training System• Each puppy is Vet Checked by a licensed veterinarian• Puppies/ Dogs are sold current on shots, vaccinations, and complete de-worming• Documentation is given on ALL health records at time of sale• I only breed dogs with passing temperament scores• Breeder Support for life of the dog/ puppy
