She is such a joy to us.  Jenna gets
mad because it was suppose to be her
baby, but Kya follows me the entire
time I'm home.  I was gone this past
weekend and Jenna said all she did
was mope and slept in my room all by
herself.

Hi Nancy,
Cookie is doing good and is sleeping
right next to office chair. She is a very
calm and quiet girl and loves to sleep. I
like her quiet temperment. She follows
us in the home. So far she is doing
very good.
Hi Nancy,

I wanted to send you another email to let you know
how much we are
enjoying Bethany...although we have all taken to
calling her "mini"
lately!!  She is doing awesome.  She is such a great
little dog.  I was
hesitant about getting another puppy, I started
thinking about it over a
year ago and didn't follow thru but now I'm glad I
did.  She is such a
joy to be around.  Friendly, loving, playful, just like
you said!! I had
intended to crate train her, after everything I read
but that first night
I was too tired to clean out the crate so I just took
her to bed with me
(as it turns out she hadn't done anything in her crate,
it was clean as a
whistle).  Anyway, she slept on my head the first
night, all thru the
night and has done so every night since then.  Not
so much as a peep out
of her.  She rides great in the car.  She is totally
relaxed with my
family and is even trying to play with my Bostons
(who can be pretty
intimidating!).

So, TWO THUMBS UP!!!  You breed great
dogs~keep up the good work.

Sincerely,
Janelle & Bethany, Texas
Hi, Nancy
Autumn Gold is absolutely adorable
and actually looks like a combination
of both Zoe and Zeus - she is really
pretty.  What I love about your puppies
is their color and their hair is always
silky and looks great.
The babies are tiny and I remember
seeing pictures of Zoe and Zeus when
they were babies that small - brings
back great memories. Would love to
have another one, but not sure how my
other babies would
feel
about that :-)
They are the best

Hi Nancy
Back in late November, my husband
Gary and I purchased little "Sophie"
from you.  Her birthdate was October
10th. Sophie is absolutely wonderful!!
And, she's soooooo cute!  I just love
her!  She gets so much attention from
everyone in our home.  I bring her
everywhere I go. Sophie is so calm and
loveable and when my daughter was in
and out of the hospital, little Sophie
would lay on Brittany's pillow right by
her head when she came home. It was
awesome!
Lisa, Minnesota

Hi Nancy,
I just had to email you and let you
know that the ride home went very well.
 We cuddled her and she slept a lot of
the way.  She took to her new little soft
pink bed right away and even went in
her kennel to sleep.  She has gone
potty outside twice and we are making
a big deal about it.  I know it will take
time to potty train her, but we have
patience and lots of Nature's Miracle
spray!    We got a kick out of how she
will play with her soft pink bone that
matches her blanket and bed.  She is
absolutely adorable.  She has also
eaten just fine too.  I am glad that Abby
will be here a lot yet this summer to
help with her.
Thank you very much for letting us see
all the puppies and dogs yesterday.  I
think my husband enjoyed the visit a
lot more than he expected.  
Sadie and Teddy seem to be pretty
good around Gracie......It will take
some getting use to, but they have not
shown any aggression toward her so I
guess that is good..
I better go for now-but I will keep you
posted as to how things are going
around here.
Take care.
Brenda, Minnesota
Hi, Nancy,
Thank you so much for the puppy.  My
son named her Lily.  she slept most of
the day but once I finally got her to eat
and drink water she perked up.  Max
and Lily spent a good hour out in the
yard this evening playing with each
other.  Max seems to be doing okay
with having her around (maybe a little
jealous but he will adjust). Just thought
I'd let you know what we named her
and to say thank you again.
Lynn, Minnesota
Nancy,
Everything is fine with Benji. Thank you
so much we love him. Let me know
what you got in that next litter.
Because if someone asks I can tell
them what you got.
Take Care
Darla, Minnesota
Nancy,
You are so thoughtful and so very
thorough in your words- THANK YOU!  
I am so new at this that its been a
considerable relief to be able to talk
with you about things and to help me
understand!  I am doing my best to
read and learn as much as possible
about the Yorkie- and Ally is really
something!! She truly is a treasure and
has grown very fond of both Ken and I.
 She enjoys her time with him during
the day and I get her and night and in
the mornings before work!  I hate to
admit- but she has already wormed her
way into sleeping next to my pillow-
even though I am trying so hard to get
her used to her kennel!!!  I just can't
help myself!  She is so cuddly and
loving that its more than I can resist!!!  
I do give tons of praise outside when
she goes, she gets her little treat- and
we do play lots out there so we will just
keep working with her!  She loves to
dig in the grass and its funny to see
her hopping and jumping around so
much!  She does not do well around
other dogs yet- she gets sooo
incredibly excited!  We need more
work there too!  She loves people as
well- and of all the many many she has
met- not a single one didnt love her
back!  So, I feel very confident in our
new "baby" and I cannot wait to get the
coat and new harness I ordered for
her.  She is truly a blessing to Ken and
I and we thank you for her!!!!  Thanks
for all the kinds words and information
too- as I said, I really do apprecite it
and do look to you as you are the
expert!  Thanks again!!!
KH, Minnesota
Hi Nancy,
I just mailed the AKC registration today
and got the Silver package.  thank you.
She had her shots Tuesday and did
very good.  She is 1 3/4 lb.  Everyone
we see says she is the CUTEST puppy
they have ever seen!  One little boy at
the lake asked me "Is that a puppy or a
kitty?"  He is 7 and it was so
innocent......I think her little ears
reminded him of a kitty.
Potty training is going good.  She
knows for sure what to do in the
morning when we go out and I have
started her on the clicker training and
she is catching on very quick.  What a
smart little girl she is!  I am just amazed
at how long she likes to sleep at night!  
She goes to bed at 10:30 and gets up
at 7 or so now.  Are all your puppies
this good???? She does like to
chew--so I always have little puppy
chews for her around.
I will tell Wendy about Cookie's
littermate.  I will see Wendy this
week-end.
Thanks.
Brenda, Minnesota
Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for selling us our
new puppy.  We are having soooo
much fun with her.  We ended up
naming her Gidget.  The ride home
was wonderful with her sleeping in my
lap and then chewing on my jacket
zipper. She loves to cuddle.
My daughter loves her and they sleep
together on the living room floor during
the day while I work.  My daughter says
she is her little cuddle muffin.  We
crate her while we are gone and she
does not like that very well.  She does
pretty well in there at night.  
We have been socializing her
everyday with people and car rides.  
She went to the groomer last evening
and they loved her.  Tomorrow she will
go to the Vet for her next set of shots.  
She loves the outdoors and jumps like
a bunny.  Is curious of all the new
sounds.  Talk of the neighborhood.  
We're still working on the potty training
and there are good and challenging
times with that.  We bought a litterbox
but she prefers the newspaper so I'm
leaving that next to the litter box.  She
thought the pads were a toy and would
chew and drag them all over.
We'll be enrolling her in puppy school
at Petsmart.  They have all been very
helpful.  
Please feel free to use us as a
reference for any customer.  It was a
wonderful experience coming to your
home and actually meeting the rest of
the puppy family including the newest
baby of only a few hours.  I found it
quite amazing that the mother that just
delivered had such a wonderful
temperament to a stranger.  
We'll keep in touch and thank you
again.  WE LOVE HER.
Tammy, Minnesota
Nancy,
I wanted to send you a little longer
note, I was too tired last night!
Bethany's plane came in about 20
minutes early.  She was eager to get
out of the crate!  She has already
been such a pleasure, very loving, very
playful, just adorable!  She's got a
great personality and we couldn't be
happier with her.  She is eating,
drinking & going potty just fine.  I
think you did a great job with her.  If
you ever need to use me as a
reference feel free to give out my
email.  I hope you found good homes
for all your puppies and I know the
other new owners will be as happy as
we are.
Thanks again!
Janelle, Texas
Hi Nancy-
I just wanted to let you know that
Bethany, who we now call Minnie, is
doing great.  She is a fantastic dog.  
She has adapted well to the
heat/cold, kids, wildlife, etc!!  We
couldn't be happier with her!  She
is our ray of sunshine!!
Thanks,
Janelle,Texas
Nancy -
The puppies are doing so well and we
love them so very much.  Zoe has
remained small at under 3 pounds and
Zeus is about 3.5 to 4 pounds I
would say.  They have very different
personalities and love to be a part of
the family.  Zoe lets us know her every
whim and desire while Zeus is very
laid back and takes it all in.  They do
everything together and are never
more than a foot away from each
other.  .
Take care,
Brenda,Minnesota
Hi Nancy,
I just wanted to send you a couple
pictures of Rookie and let you know
that everything is wonderful!
He is incredibly playful all the time, I
forgot how exhausting puppies can be!
 He has shown no fear and
immediately explored every corner of
the house and made himself at home.
I have found that he likes to lay on my
feet, just like baby Hope does to you.
He had his first vet appt on saturday
and broke the hearts of all the ladies
there, too.  He is very healthy, no
worms, wt 1.1 lbs. He did very well in
the bath as well.  I can't say he loved
the bath, but didn't hate it.
Thanks again, he is very loved:)
-- Have a wonderful day!
Andrea, Minnesota

HI!
I love the website,  the more pictures
the better.  I could look at them
everyday: I would LOVE to take home
one of our Rookie's brothers (it's cute
that they are both named Rookie!)  
Still can't convince my husband
though.  Although my husband is
absolutely GaGa over him, it's almost
embarrassing how silly he gets around
him! All Rookie wants to do is play with
other dogs in the neighborhood, but
they are all too big. I attached some
Halloween pictures.  I couldn't get him
to stop eating the pumpkin and he
didn't want to come out.  Needless to
say he needed a bath after. Rookie
has unlimited energy and is the
definition of a naughty puppy!  He
drags everything he comes across
around the house.  He makes us laugh
every minute of the day.
He likes to snuggle when he's tired, but
is also very independent and doesn't
NEED to be held all the time.
He has learned to sit already...and has
learned that he gets treats when he
goes potty outside...although hasn't
figured out that the point is to not go in
the house then, but I forget how young
he still is. I am curious to hear how the
brothers are doing? Tell me
everything:)  It looks like you must
have sold the little girl?
Rookie is about 25 oz right now,
maybe a little more, (is that where he
should be?) but I can't get him to sit
still on my little scale so it's hard to
read.  He'll be getting his booster shots
this week, so we'll get a better idea
then. How much do Scooter and
Rookie weigh now?  I'm curious to
know if my Rookie is growing at the
same pace as the other boys.  He
seems to be growing like a weed and
looks so big already, but when I pick
him up there is nothing to him!
He gets into a food frenzy over
anything and everything, even when
he just had a big meal.  
I look forward to hearing from and
once again the website is is awesome!
Andrea, Minnesota
HI  Nancy, Rookie arrived safe and
sound. In fact as I am e-mailing you he
is laying on my lap. He raises his head
up every now and then and looks at
the key board. He arrived on time at 6
:19. I will email you pictures and keep
you very updated as to how he is
doing.  I want to Thank You for all the
trouble you went to beyond and above
to get him to me before Christmas.
I will be in touch
Merry Christmas
Carol, Mike & Rookie West Virginia
PS  That is name we are going to keep
it fits him perfect
Hi Nancy,
Everything went great last night.  We
got My-Ke with no problems.  He is the
cutest, most lovable puppy we've ever
seen.  Thank you so much!   We are
lucky to have found you.  He is
adjusting great to all of us, especially
our Pug Cha-Cha.  You should be very
proud of your puppies.  I will highly
recommend you to others who may be
interested.  Feel free to us me as a
reference.  We will be sending you
pictures soon and will stay in touch.
Thanks again,
Barbara and family, New York
Nancy,
Hope arrived safe and sound tonight.  
The kids were so excited, but we kept
them sitting on the couch at a distance
until Hope settled in.  She is such a
lover.  She took to me and my
husband Adam right away.  She laid on
my chest all night long napping and
relaxing.  We gave her a little Karo
syrup just to be safe.  She drank her
water, but has not eaten any of her
food yet.  She has a nice-sized area
blocked off for her in our kitchen with a
comfortable cushy bed, a tray filled
with paper (which we hope she does
her business on), a little rug to play on
and her food and water dishes.  She
loves the bed.  She was funny tonight,
she hung her head over the edge and
kept dozing off and her head kept
dropping further and further off of it
until she woke up and re-positioned
herself.
My son, Aidan, sat next to me all night
and gently stroked her head.  He kept
leaning in the give her baby kisses.  
She kissed him back.  He told me that
this was the best day ever in his whole
life because he got a puppy.  Ear to
ear grin.  
The weather was warmer today,
although pretty windy.  We did take her
outside to potty.
She hasn't barked yet, and only
whined for about 10 seconds when I
just left her to come to bed.  I know she
wanted to come with me, but first we
have to see her potty habits.  
Thank you again for getting her to us
this weekend, I know that it was an
added expense for you.  She is
adorable.
I have been asked how many brothers
and sisters does she have (in the
same litter).
I hope you don't mind if I email you if I
have a few more questions in the near
future?
God Bless and Merry Christmas!
Maria and Adam, Wisconsin
Hello Nancy.  Just wanted to check in
with you and see how things are going.
 Kya will be 2 in August already....the
time has gone by so fast.  She is the
cutest yorkie in the world.  She's
gorgeous.  She went to the beauty
shop yesterday and the guy that cuts
her always comments how cute she is
and how perfect her facial features are.
Subject:  Diva Destiny. We are in love!
Thank you so much we will take great
care of her. She already drank  
water. We are still on the way home.
Arlene, California

Good Morning!  Things went wonderful
this weekend.  Anna is a good girl.  
(She loves to eat:)  Our other Yorkie,
Bella, and her hit it off great!  They
play and run around the house like
crazy!!  And when Anna gets tired out
she comes up to my husband or I and
wants to be snuggled with.  Yesterday
she slept on my 8-year-old's lap for 3
hours while she watched Christmas
movies.  I will take a picture of my
family and our dog Bella and where we
live and email it to you!
When we are not home we are
currently putting her in a kennel in the
kitchen.  She is doing well with that.  
Bella lays by her in her pet bed next to
the kennel, it is so cute.  When Anna
becomes potty trained she will be able
to roam the house freely.  At night she
has slept with my 10 year old son.  
They share his pillow.  Last night when
my son went to bed, Anna followed him
in to his room!
Anyways I will keep you updated!
Thank you!!
Amy, Minnesota
Cookie is just so calm....sometimes I do
not even I have have her in my home.
She is very good with dogs and my
son.  It is snowing here....now....it did
not snow when we picked her up at the
airport....talk later..and happy holidays
to you.
Carroll, Portland, Oregon
p.s.  You are more than welcome to
use  my e-mail as reference if you like.
Hi Nancy~
Just wanted to send you some new
photos of Gracie.  She is doing so
good.  She loves being part of our
family....(She told me that..:)    She
loves to put her face in the snow.  She
likes to get in to some mischief yet, but
that's fine.  She loves Sadie and
Teddy too now.   I can't thank you
enough for breeding such a sweet
puppy.  She is just such a little joy!
Brenda, Minnesota
Nancy~
I am so pleased that you chose to use
some of Gracie's pictures on your web
site--which is awesome!  I have shown
it to many of my friends at work.  They
all say you have the cutest dogs ever!!
I have to agree!.  Gracie is quite the
little model yorkie!  Like I said--she
loves the camera!  I am an avid
scrap-booker--so each dog has their
won albumn--(just like both of my
girls....) I am actually working on a
digital photo book for Gracie right now
to cover her first year.  It is turning out
so nice.  I will share it with you when I
am done with it.
Brenda, Minnesota
Hi Nancy, here are some pictures of
My-ke whose name is now Pino.  We
turned him into an Italian.  We love him
to death.  We'll send more pictures
soon. Have a nice holiday.
Barbara & Family, New York
Hi Nancy!
I see Rookie is on your website!  I love
it: I have attached some pictures from
Christmas. We just love him to death,  
he is quite the chewer and is very
naughty but he makes us laugh
everyday. We are working on sit,
down, stay, shake, etc.   He has a little
too much energy to pay attention, but
he loves treats so much he's willing to
try. He had shots last week and the vet
always looks forward to seeing him.  
He is 2 lbs 8 oz. at 20 wks now.
I see his brothers have found homes,
I'm jealous, Rookie wants a playmate
sooooo bad!  Do you still have his
sister?  It's amazing how much
attention he demands and of course
he gets it!  He just had his first haircut
last week and lost his puppy look but I
can see his beautiful eyes now.
I hope all is well and you had a
wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Happy and healthy puppies to come in
the year to come.   
Have a nice day!  Andrea, Minnesota
--
Hello, how are you?  Thought I would
send you some pictures of Punki.  I got
him from you the day after Christmas.  
He is a beaut!  Two weeks ago at the
vets he weighed two and a quarter
pounds. My son, Robert, just loves
him.  Please let me know if you receive
this.  Thank you,Craig, Minnesota
Hi Nancy -
Just wanted to send an email about
Sassy. She is doing great. We have
introduced her to some of the
neighbors and they love her. She has
been on some short walks - but the
weather hasn't been the best so we will
wait for sunnier days. The first night
there were a couple accidents, more
our fault than hers, but we have been
taking her out about every three hours
and she has been doing great. She
loves to sit under my desk in her little
bed (it's actually a cat bed - but it has
nice high sides which she loves.) I
bought her a harness and she is doing
good with it - I am looking into a softer
one by Puppia. She went to the vet
yesterday and got her rabies shot  -
she did well with it.
I attached a photo of her in her bed
under my desk.
I will send some of her outside when
the weather clears.
Thank you for letting her become a
part of our family.
Marly, Minnesota

Hi Brenda,  I just want to thank you for being so
good about talking to Maria about the little male she
is considering buying from me and sharing Gracie
with her.  I really appreciate it and I know Maria and
her mom really appreciate having you there to help
them make such an important decision.  Thanks so
much!  Nancy
Hi Nancy~
I honestly don't mind at all.  Gracie & I are going
over to their house tonight at 7 to meet them.  I got
off work on time and got Gracie all groomed up so
pretty.  It is bath day today anyway so that worked
out very good.  My mom told me to be sure to bring
Gracie home....she said she's afraid they might
want to keep her.  She is just such a lovable little
thing.  She has some distinct habits now that
actually are cute.  She always scratches on our leg
when she wants up.  I do have steps in 3 different
areas in the house where she can get up and that
works out really well.  This is mostly when she wants
to come up and sit by us.
I will let you know how it goes.
Hope all is well with you.
Take care.  Brenda
Maria called me right away and was writing the
check for the depost.  She and her mom loved
Gracie and were very impressed with you.  One of
the reasons I love raising Yorkies, other than loving
Yorkies, is the great people I have met and you are
the gold standard.  Thank you so much for your
help!  Sounds like this little guy is getting a great
home and I thank you again.  Nancy
Oh Nancy.....You will love Maria and her mother
when you meet them.  They are so nice I can't
begin to tell you.  My older daughter came with me
and on the way home she said "Do you believe we
were there for almost an hour and a half?  It felt like
15 minutes.!"  They are very excited about getting
their new puppy and we talked about getting
together after they get him sometime and having a
play date for our yorkies!  
Thank you for your kind word, but I truly love
yorkies and I'm so glad I found you because I
cannot imagine our lives without little Gracie!!  
Thank you so much!
Take care.  Kindest regards, Brenda, Minnesota
Thanks again, Nancy. You should be
so proud of your beautiful
puppies...they are by far some of the
most adorable puppies I have seen in
my months of searching!!!
Sincerely, Maria, Minnesota

Hi! Just a note to let you know how it's
been going. We named our puppy
Neo. He has been great. He's eating
real well. Also very playful. Everyone
justs loves him. He seems to be
adjusting real good. I will send you
pictures as he gets older. Thanks so
much.    Susan, Minnesota
Hi Nancy-
I sure hope all is well!!! I just wanted to
let you know that little Baron is an
absolute doll! He is so cuddly, playful,
and has such an adorable personality.
He has had two vet appointments for
his remaining puppy shots, and the vet
said I have I one amazing little puppy!
His first week he was little timid, but
now he knows the ropes of the house,
and loves playing outside. He is an
excellent little walker, sleeper, and
eater! I will send you pictures as soon
as I get them from my dad! I cannot
thank you enough!
Take care, Maria, Minnesota
Hi Nancy,
Sorry I haven't written sooner. We
have been pretty busy with all the kids
home for the summer. Sassy is doing
great - she loves to go outside on
walks and play in the yard. She is such
a sweet girl and does very well with all
the neighbor kids. They all love her. I
attached some new photos - she got a
short cut for the summer.
Hope all is well, Marly, Minnesota
Hi Nancy~ How is life in Duluth?  It is FINALLY summer
here!  It has been a very unusually cold summer but
now it is really HOT!
Gracie is doing fabulous!  She gets so much attention
everywhere we go!  Everyone wants to know how we
ever found the perfect puppy!  She loves Sadie and
Teddy more and more all the time.  They have
become a real family in the past year.  I did get her a
puppy cut and it is adorable on her.  We didn't go real
short as I thought just for now it would be good.  Her
hair had gotten so long! She looks like she did when
we got her.  She is still shy of 4 lbs.--perfect as far as I
am concerned.  
Take care and I hope all your pups are doing well.  
How is your mother doing?  Kindest regards, Brenda,
Minnesota
Hello Nancy, I just wanted to contact
you to tell you how much happiness
Gucci has brought to our family.  You
had her named Hope when she
arrived.  She is just such a joy.  She
has never pooped outside, only on her
pee pad, which is just fine with me.  
Less mess to clean up outside.  We
have a new addition to our family, my
daughter Liliana, born Feb. 25.  They
just adore each other.  My children are
so great with Gucci.  I just wanted to let
you know because I know there is
always that fear of children around
such small dogs.  I have a rule that if
they want to play with Gucci, the child
must be lying on their tummy on the
floor.  They are also never allowed to
pick her up.  Not even to place her on
the couch.  Gucci never jumps up on
things either, which is great.  I do,
however, have to be careful of her
jumping down.  I like to help her down
vs. allowing her to jump.  Gucci has
become "my dog."  She follows me
every place I go.  She is truly a lap
dog.  She cuddles up on my chest
when I sit down.  Of course with me
having several young children, there is
always a child on my lap, but Gucci
never minds. She just snuggles right in
there. Thank you for describing her so
well to us and matching us with her.  It
was important to me that she wasn't a
barker.  She only seems to bark when
there is someone at the door.  That I
can handle.  Just tonight I was
contemplating maybe in the future
finding her a playmate.  Are all of your
dogs related to her in some way?  Are
there any boys that could safely be
"mated" with her?  Or not?  We are not
looking to breed her over and over,
but if she had a litter at some point, I
think that would be so neat.  We never
fixed her.  We decided to wait and
decide later.  I am sure that
she must have come into heat, but we
never noticed.  Once in a while, I will
see her licking, but never see any
blood.  What is your thought on a mate
for her?  Again, it would have to be a
little ways out.  We are in the middle of
a home addition project that is
consuming all of our time and finances,
but should be worth the extra space in
the end. I have attached a picture,
although not that incredibly recent.  I
waspending about 2 hours every few
days combing her beautiful hair.  It was
too much for me, so I finally consented
to a very cute puppy cut.  We kept
her baby doll face and top knot long,
but went to about 1 inch on her body.
She looks even tinier now.  She weighs
only 3 lbs. Thanks again, Nancy!  You
raised a great little puppy who is such
a joy to our family! Maria & Adam, Wisc.
Hi Nancy~  Thank you so much for sharing this with
me.  I almost started to cry because all her words are
so true.  We feel so blessed that we  came to you for
our Gracie.  It is so funny when I am introducing our
pups to people who have never seen them before--I
always say....."This is Sadie....she is the Princess
because she was here first and she is most certainly
the BOSS!  Then there is our Teddy who is a nice
handsome boy who loves everyone but hates to ride
in the car.  And finally here is our little precious Gracie
who  is simply just PERFECT! "  :)    
Gucci is a bit darker than Gracie, but they do look so
similar.  I wish I could have more!  I am so afraid I will
never be able to get another one like Gracie!!  Take
care. Brenda, Minnesota
Hi Nancy - I wanted to send you a quick e-mail
now that things have started to settle down.  Rilee
is the most amazing little puppy!  I don't think we
could have asked for a better addition to our
family.  He is terrific with all of the children - not
skittish in the least.  He has amazing social skills
with both people and other animals.  He was
introduced to a boxer (fairly large) yesterday and
you wouldn't believe the reaction.  They acted like
they were old friends - it was so much fun to
watch.  I have been home with Rilee all week and
it has been an absolute pleasure.   Thank you so
much for raising such a terrific puppy!  I can't
imagine it gets much better than Rilee!
Take care,  Jen - West Virginia
Hi Nancy - Rilee is sitting on my lap as I'm typing.  
The children and I picked up Rilee from the airport
this afternoon. The flight was on time and he was
there waiting for us. My daughter and oldest son
took turns holding him on the way home. All of his
food and water was gone when he arrived. He has
been eating and drinking like a champ - we had no
need for the Kayo syrup.  He has been adjusting to
all of so well! He seems to take to my daughter and
myself the most. We, of course, have started the
potty training. He has had a few accidents within the
house but has successfully went potty outside as
well and has received "treats".  I think all is good
and he is such an adorable fellow!!!  Thanks for
everything!!! Jen - West Virginia
Scotty is getting used to us and his new home.  
There isn't a corner he hasn't explored.  He is
very bright and has a loving personality.   He still
doesn't like going back into his crate but he
doesn't whine and cry.   He eats, drinks, settles
down, and sleeps.   Thank you for Scotty.....Mg,
Texas
Hi Nancy- I wanted to send you a quick note
letting you know Rilee is still doing great and
has almost mastered the potty training outside.
He is now at the point of going potty on
demand outside and walks back up the stairs
when he is ready to come in! What a smart boy
he is!!!! I thought the house breaking would
take several months/year to master but I think
Rilee is way ahead of the game!  I hope you
and the pups are doing well.  Jen-West Virginia


Neo is now six months old and is 3#
4oz. He adjusted quickly and well into
our home. In one of the pictures, my
grandson is holding him at Enger
Tower. Neo and our cat also play well
together. Neo graduated from puppy
training last Thursday and he won two
out of the four contests presented
there. I hope you're well and I hope
you enjoy these pictures! I'll send more
in the future. :) Take care!

Hi Nancy, Lola did wonderful on her
trip. She is becoming more and more
playful everyday. We all just love her
so much! She is so cute and beautiful!
What's not to love about her! I promise
i will send you pictures of her in a few
days. Thank you for everything I will
talk to you soon. Diana, New Jersey
Hi Nancy, Wendy is doing great!, she
got a bath and she let me blow dry her.
 She is running around and playing.  
She slept with me last night, in a little
bed I bought for her.  Things are going
well. I tried to take some pic's but she
doesn't sit still for long.  Take care,
and talk to you u soon.
Janice, Long Island, N.Y.
Hi Nancy!  Daisy is doing great!  She is
such a sweetie and so laid back.  She
is getting more comfortable by the day
and her cute personality is starting to
emerge!  Bella, our yorkie poo, loves
having a buddy again too.  We are
falling in love with her!  Thanks again
Nancy and it was very nice to meet you
and all your precious Yorkies!!  I will
forward pictures of her in the future :)
Take Care, Julie, Minnesota
Hi Nancy,  Thank you so much for Wee
Willie. (We haven't come up with a
different name yet) He did great on the
trip home, wasn't frightened at all and
just snuggled right in! We brought him
to our vet on Sunday and he passed
with flying colors! She wasn't
concerned about the fontanelle either.
Said it's common in Yorkies and
usually closes completely.  Our other
dogs were not very welcoming at first
but they're getting used to him and
today have been playing with him a
little. I think by tomorrow they should all
be good buds! He is quite a trooper,
though. Just makes himself at home, is
playful and curious, loves to snuggle,
follows me everywhere and is eating
great.  I don't have very good pictures
yet, but when I get some I'll send you
some more.  Thanks again,
Pat, Minnesota
Hi Nancy, We just had Lexie spayed
and it was quite the ordeal for me...I
had tears and more tears taking my
baby away!  We just adore her to
death!!Thanks so much for helping me
get one of your puppies!  Natalie,
Minnesota
Good afternoon,  Just 45 minutes until
I am done with work and I can go home
to my puppy! Selena is doing very well
(We named her Selena) - She is potty
trained, and on several occasions has
gone to her pee pad without our
directions! She even escaped from her
kennel one day when we were gone for
just a couple hours, and when we got
home she was sitting on the rug by the
front step waiting for us! Then I
thought "oh no, where is the accident
going to be?" But to my surprise she
had gone number 2 on her pee pad!
We are very happy with our new
addition… She is very playful and
always a joy to be with… She has lots
of energy in her, and her curiosity is
amusing. She started her adventure
with the plants in our home, drinking
out the bottom.. Then we learned how
to stop over-watering the plants so
Selena would drink her own water. Last
night we brought home a Christmas
tree, and now Selena is trying to figure
out how to get the water out from the
stand! She is quite amusing! She also
has claimed the x-mas tree skirt as her
own, as she has dragged it out from
under the tree and used it as a
blanket.. We are in the process of
teaching her the difference between
her toys and household items… but
lucky for us she stands less than a foot
tall on her hind legs, so it was not too
difficult to move the items up a shelf
and out of reach! We attempted the
sleeping in a kennel thing, but Selena
is spoiled and she seems to get what
she wants! She has spent less than a
night in the kennel, and since then has
been sleeping in the bed on the pillow!
That is when we can get her down…
She is sometimes so hyper around 10:
30 at night that we have to play for
another hour just to wear her out!
Selena experienced her first bath, and
she seemed to do just fine… She
enjoys smelling like a princess! She is
not too fond of the ear cleaning
process… though she did sit still
through the entire process…Selena is
wonderful… Chad has been home with
her during the days while I am
working.. Says she takes lots of short
naps, eats like a tank, and plays lots!  
We have taken lots of pictures, and will
send some next week when I have a
chance to download them.

Nancy, I couldn't have gotten the
puppy of my dreams without you! I
have another referral for you so you
may be getting a call regarding your
dogs. One of my friends saw the pic I
sent you and her friend wanted her
immediately! I know you only have two
puppies and I think both of those are
sold...but I think they are willing to
wait...I am not totally sure of all the
details but I am sending her your web
site for her to look at so I will have
them mention my name should they
contact you!  Lexie is only 2 1/2
pounds...just so you have an idea of
how big she is....and she has so much
personality! I taught her to play fetch
and we will play for an hour at a
time...we just adore her! I thank you so
very much for making my dream come
true....she's even more than I even
dreamed of! Happy Holidays!
Natalie, Minnesota


Selena update:
I still have to send you the pictures.. if
you have facebook you should add me
as a friend.. I have an entire photo
album of Selena!
Well, I was in Florida this past week,
missing Selena lots... Upon my return
yesterday I was happy to find a healthy
pup! Chad took very good care of her
in my absence...
She was 12 weeks yesterday. We
weighed her at 1.795 LBS... Looks like
she will not get to be much over 3.5
LBS! We are still looking for a
playmate for Selena... We have found
a few potentials, but are still taking our
time to find the perfect little boy!
Selena took to my room while I was
away. Since she is completely potty
trained Chad allowed her to sleep in
my room… She can climb the stairs,
but still is not going down them.. Chad
blocks off the stairs to the upstairs (all
white carpet) for her while he is away
and leaves a pee pad in the
bathroom... I was a little uneasy about
my carpet when he informed me that
Selena was no longer a kennel pup at
just 11 weeks... Much to my surprise
she uses the pee pad without
prompting! She went there three times
when I got home from the airport and
went number 2 on her pee pad
downstairs... She has not discovered
the basement yet, and we are hoping
to keep her deterred by shutting the
door… But she still loves the
Christmas tree, which we have
managed to keep covered to avoid her
drinking the tree water!
When I arrived home yesterday I
placed food and water bowls in both
the main floor and upstairs so that
Chad does not have to keep moving
them around.
Selena likes to climb up the pillows
onto the couch to get our attention to
play! She is too little to jump down (not
that that has stopped her!) so we
taught her how to climb down the
pillows to avoid broken limbs. She also
loves to climb the stairs to find us to
play!  Our entire house is covered in
toys, and I lost my room to her beds,
food, and toys! Guess I shouldn’t have
left for the week! Selena is spoiled, I
have refilled her stocking 3 times now..
But she is so cute that we are not able
to wait to give her the presents.. Looks
like Santa is going to have to fill Selena’
s stocking last so there are toys come
Christmas morning!  When Selena is
under the tree Chad says “look my
Christmas present is under the tree!”
She is the best present he ever
received and the best gift I have ever
given! We love her lots and just can't
get enough of her!   Molly,
P.S.  Selena is really turning out to
have a great temperament!  Everyone
at the shop just loves her!  Molly,
Minnesota
We have our
little Leo
yorkie with us
now and he
is just the
best! He is so
smart and
well behaved.
He's tiny,too!
Anna, France
Hi Nancy,  It's Diana. I am
the owner of little Bonnie
now known as Lola.
She's so cute!   Thank
you so much for her,  the
whole family adores her.
Once again,  thank you
so much!  Diana, New
York
Hi Nancy,  Just a note to let you know
that Opal and Olive are the best
darlings!  Lisa, Montana
Hello Nancy.  Check out my website
www.ironrangeyorkiesandhavanese.com  The Havanese
twins were both bred to a champion stud.  The breeder
absolutely loved the girls.  She's hoping to get a female
pup from each.  Kya and Chloe always love to ride in my
truck so they came to the cities to drop off Bella and
Nalla.  The breeder was so impressed with Kya.  She
use to breed Yorkies and could not believe the quality of
Kya.  She was very impressed.  She made the statement
that her dogs weren't half as nice as Kya.  I wanted to
share that with you.  She was quite impressed will all the
dogs.  She said you generally don't see all dogs of
different breeds all be perfect.  She's been showing and
breeding dogs for 45 years.  So, I was very happy to
hear the nice feedback.  I wanted to say hello and see
how things are going.  Take care....Bob, Minnesota

Having a great time with Riley.  The kids love him,
too, and he sure likes them.  Any tips for
housebreaking?  Gaylen, Minnesota
My recommendation on the puppies...we
have one of these Yorkies and she is
wonderful! You have seen me brag about
Lexie, well this is our Yorkie Lady!
Outstanding personalities!! Natalie,

Hi Nancy,
Okay, we have Rudy! He is so cute! I will email you details
when we get home or in the morning. We love him! Thanks
so much!

It is unbelievable - - I have only had Rudy for 24 hours and
he is already so much a part of our family.  He slept great
last night.  No crying or anything.  Today, he went with us
to my daughter's softball game, then to lunch at a
dog-friendly restaurant.  He watched a movie with my kids
this afternoon and was sleeping right next to my daughter's
head on the pillow.  Right now, he is in my lap, very tired
and ready for bed.  I was trying to have him go outside, but
I changed my mind.  It seems he would be happier just
staying in the house, so I'm trying the pee pads,   We love
him!  Don't worry.  I think he will be very happy here.  I will
try to email some pictures tomorrow.  I'm just too tired to
get them on the computer right now!  Just want you to
know - - he is the cutest Yorkie I have ever seen - - and
with a personality to match - - and the softest hair!  My
friends are so jealous.  You may be getting some calls for
puppies!
Julie, California
