PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL TO UPDATE ME!

Over the last 3 months I have recieved multiple emails and phone calls from folks who want a yorkie pup. If you have not responded to me in the last week please update me if you are still interested so that I can update my waiting list.
We are having pups soon and I don't want to overlook you and the calls continue to come in. Thanks so much. Holly

SUTTON AT THE MATCH

Here is Sutton at the dog match in New Hampshire looking very handsome.

WE WILL HAVE PUPPIES SOON!!!!!!!

We are pleased to announce that Libby is expecting on May 4th with our first sired litter from Sutton. We are not sure yet how many pups but I will keep you posted. So far everything is going well and her buda belly is quite big. We are really excited about this pregnancy for a couple of reasons. One, now Sutton will be proven and two, his first litter. We are hoping for some really nice puppies with exceptional silk coats.
At this time we are still questionning whether Emma is expecting as well. She is displaying some signs that she might be but we will know for sure around the 4th of May. Emma would be due approximately May 14th. Sutton is also the sire of these pups. Have a wonderful day! Holly

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT TMY

Well to give all of you an update about what is happening here at TMY, here we go. I am taking some of the pups, Lucy, Sierra, Key and Sutton to handling class on Weds. Our first class was last night and Key and Lucy did pretty well. I am going to alternate dogs each week.
Key is being show in West Springfield Ma on Sat and Sun this coming weekend. Would love to see some of you there to watch. We show close to noon.
Libby is definitely having babies and is due the weekend of the Acton Me show, May 3 or 4th. This will be Sutton's first sired litter and we are anxious to see what we have.
Taryn is home from Michigan and she is doing really well. She is just a little bit of a thing and cute as a button.
We are trying to plan our 2nd annual Yorkie Family reunion for June 28th. So far it looks like the date might be good for folks but will keep you updated. If I have not emailed you and you read this, please let me know if you could make it that weekend. It is not set in stone yet.
Have a great day! Holly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Brie, Ottie and Dani-lynn all celebrated their 1st birthday on April 10th. I meant to get this on HERE before now. Sorry little ones!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM EVERYONE HERE AT TMY!!! We love you. Hugs and Kisses!

MISS LUCY GROWING UP

Taylor's San Jancito Lucy is growing up. She has a gorgeous silk coat and a sweet personality. She is our acrobat here at TMY, just like her mom was. This girl can jump and nothing seems to stop her........LOL. If you are wondering what is on her tail end, I banded up her coat so when she goes pee, it does not saturate the hairs which will then in turn burn the hairs and they break off. Just a trick to the trade when you want to show a girl yorkie. Holly

HOWIE UPDATE

These are updated pictures of "Howie". Howie is the son of Jazzy and Grady from the 2007 October litter. He is such a doll!!! Enjoy........Holly

TARYN

My darling little Taryn is coming home friday. "Taylor's True Taryn of Eng" has been out in Michigan staying with my mentor, Gert, since my trip out there in February. I had booked my flight to bring 2 dogs home with me but the airline messed up and booked another dog for someone else so when I went to finalize my plans, the airline refused to let me bring 2 as they only allow 2 dogs on a flight. So Taryn had to stay and thank God for Gert. Gertie tells me I should have named her Taryn the Terror!!!!!!!!!!!! as she is a spunky get into everything type girl...........LOL. Within a couple of days there, she had mastered climbing the gates in the house, climbing stairs, found a way to get onto the furniture and had all of Gertie's adults doing circles around her. I think I will have my work cut out for me when she comes home but that is ok. TMY has never backed away from challenges and her personality will sport another outgoing show dog for sure. We are looking forward to her arrival and I will get some updated pictures soon. Holly

KEY IN WEST SPRINGFIELD

Key and I showed in West Springfield on Saturday. He took a first in his class 12-18 mo old dogs but didn't fair against the adult dogs for Winners Dog. Thats ok though........he looked gorgeous.

ENG'S WEST KENT WEEK END WARRIOR "SUTTON"

Our newest member to the family is shaping up and getting ready to make his debut in New England. Sutton is our new boy and he is just a love. I will keep you posted when we are showing and lets hope he knocks their socks off!!

FOLLOW UP NOTE TO OPRAH'S SHOW

I just wanted to do a quick follow up note about the show. I thought Oprah did a wonderful job trying to educate the public regarding the horrible reality of puppy mills and the cruelty that is out there. She also repeatedly spoke to the fact that there are reputable breeders out there so the public has options.
99% of puppies sold in Pet Stores come from Puppy Mills!!! Remember that!!! We collectively can put them out of the business of selling puppies which then can put these horrible mills out of business.
Another point that I want to remind all of you about is that our pups no matter what age MUST come back to TMY if you no longer can care for them or no longer want them. You cannot legally place, sell or give away our pups to anyone!!!!!!
For those of you who watched the show as I did, the impact was what was hoped to be, and many tissues were used that hour. Holly

OPRAH WINFREY SHOW- WATCH TODAY

Oprah Winfrey is doing a whole segment today on Puppy Mills. What you see and hear about these deplorable places will shock you. I invite all of my readers to watch Oprah today and to speak out about against these horrible people and mills.
Ironically I have written about puppy mills just in the last few months. YOU can help shut these places down by:
1. NEVER BUYING A PUP FROM A PET STORE
2. CALL THE AUTHORITIES OR THE TOWN OFFICE AND REPORT WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN SHOULD YOU EVER SEE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS IF YOU GO TO SEE A PUPPY
3. REPORT TO THE AUTHORITIES SHOULD YOU QUESTION THAT SOMEONE IS DOING THIS SORT OF THING.
4. IF SOMEONE SAYS, " I WILL MEET YOU AT WALMART TO SELL YOU A PUPPY........RUN THE OTHER WAY......" CALL AND REPORT THEM.
I have often said to folks when they call me, "you know, I dont care if you buy a pup from me, but during your search be SURE you are buying from a reputable breeder. If you think the price is too high from me, please just save your money and buy when you can from a reputable breeder. Be sure to ask for references"
You can see many many testimonials on this subject if you google online or even go to Oprah's talk forum..........people bought at pet stores or bought because the dog was "cheap" only to get a pup with many health problems and life threatening issues.
I know this is an awful subject but we have them here in Maine as well..........luckily a couple of them have been shut down this past year. If you have any questions, feel free to chat with me about it. thanks so much . Holly
