Taylor Made Yorkies Testimonial

Purchasing a pup at Taylor Made Yorkies (TMY) has been a very positive and rewarding experience. When I found TMY, Holly and precious Tiny Tia (now known as Miss "Tia" Marie) on-line on New Year's Day, my husband, Todd, and I were grieving as we had just recently lost our beloved Sassy - a 2-year old, 3-pound Yorkie. After having Sassy we couldn't imagine our home and lives without a Yorkie. I called and spoke to Holly on New Year's Day. I was so grateful for her sincere compassion and sympathy for our loss. She offered to place a picture in memory of Sassy on her TMY website without any pressure for us to buy one of her puppies. Her compassion and caring extended far beyond making a sale, which I felt was a testament to her having her puppies' best interest at heart. I cannot express how much I appreciated her listening to me and her kind words.
During the week following my conversation with Holly I spoke to several other breeders in New England and visited other beautiful puppies. However, I couldn't bring myself to commit to another puppy until I met Tiny Tia. So, the following Saturday Todd and I took a trip to Arundel to meet Tia. It was LOVE at FIRST SIGHT!! She was PERFECT and everything that we wanted! She was friendly, alert, playful, lovable, and yes...as cute as a button! Likewise, her parents were precious...they were meticulously cared for and within the Yorkshire Terrier breed's standard. Even though we were looking for a pet and companion, these were all important qualities for our new puppy to have. It was so cute when Holly picked Tia up and at the sound of her familiar voice Tia excitedly showered her with kisses... she was shaking all over! It was evident that she was well socialized and had had a lot of attention from Holly because by the time we brought her home she knew her name and she easily adjusted to her new surroundings. She was, and is, so smart and confident. It was great hearing the sound of the pitter-patter of little feet in our home again. Our house once again felt like a home. She makes us smile.
I cannot thank Holly enough for the great job she does as a breeder and as a life-long mother to these little ones. She is knowledgeable, professional, and a dependable resource. She works to ensure a successful transition of her pups into their new homes by giving caring and kind support to the new parents through a comprehensive puppy pack, posting frequent tips on her web-site, and follow-up phone calls and emails - all of which mean so much and are a source of comfort to new mothers and fathers. I know that if I have a question, or if I simply need to brag about Tia and need someone to listen to me, that Holly is just an email or a phone call away.

Like the perfect fit of a taylor-made suit... Miss "Tia" Marie, from Taylor Made Yorkies, is a perfect fit for our home.

Thank you, Holly and TMY, for our little ball of unconditional love and for giving her such a wonderful start in life!! We absolutely LOVE her!

It has been a pleasure working with you and getting to know you.

Your New Friends,
