ONE BOY STILL AVAILABLE

I had posted that Mr Blue was available but made a mistake. This is the little guy that is available. He was sold but the folks decided they would only take one pup instead of two. We call him Mr. Green because he is marked with a green band......lol. He is just adorable as you can see. His mom is Ruby and his dad Grady. One ear is up great the other we are helping with a little tape. Give us a call if you are interested in him. Holly

LITTLE BLUE AND LITTLE GIRL

On the left is little boy blue. He is a real cutie and will be going to Sebec Maine. Beside him is his little sister who has been sold to some folks up in So Portland. Enjoy the pic. Holly

DAIZIE

This is Daizie. She is the daughter of Abbie and Grady and she is staying at TMY. Taylor, my granddaughter was over this weekend and thought that Daizie would be a good name for her...so even though we thought of spelling it Daisy, I think I like Daizie for the name. I still have to thing of the AKC name but it will come. She is very outgoing and a real sweetie.

# THREE FOR THE GARRITY'S

Approximately a year ago, the Garrity family came to pick up their puppies, Max and Jasper. Since then, the family decided to give mom Garrity a gift.......her own little yorkie girl. She is so excited and I can't think of a better family to have a 3rd (yes I said third) yorkie from my litters. We just love them and can't be more thrilled!!! Riley will be spoiled and loved.......just what we like! Holly

NORMA & LULU



Norma has also been waiting a year for her puppy. Little Lulu is finally going home. Look at the darling coat that she has for her. Best wishes and puppy kisses to all. Holly

THE ROULEAU'S PICKING THEIR PUP

We met this couple a year ago at a "Meet the Breeds" day. They have been waiting a full year for a Ruby pup and the day finally came that they could pick their little baby boy. They chose a darling little boy and his name will be Ozzie. Although they have to wait a few more weeks before taking him home, we are as excited for them as they are to have him. Congrats to all. Holly

SASSY PHILLIPS TESTIMONIAL

At the end of September, my poor little Pattipan, lost her fight with kidney disease. Sad doesn't even begin to describe my feelings of losing her sweet spirit. After about a month, I decided life without a Yorkie is no fun at all. So I did an online search and found Taylor Made Yorkies. When I e-mailed Holly asking about the availability of puppies around Christmas, she replied very quickly with good news. She would have some. Both Jazzy and Libby were due to deliver pups in time for Christmas in a new home.

Taylor Made Yorkies is a wonderful place. Their website, especially the blog, has excellent information about caring for dogs, Yorkies in particular. I keep going back to keep up to date. And there are the wonderful pictures of Yorkies that will steal your heart.

Taylor Made Yorkies was extremely helpful as I went through the process of visiting and choosing my new little girl, Sassie Wynter, one of Libby's pups, to come live with me. She is already living up to her name, prancing and twirling, bossing my MinPin, Jake, around, and me, too. Although Sassie will never take the place of Pattipan, she has made her own special place in my heart.

Without hesitation I would recommend Taylor Made Yorkies to anyone who is looking for a puppy that has been born into a loving environment.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

First I have to say I am sorry that I did not get the B-Day cards out to our birthday pups. But this wish comes warmly to all and we love you. A year ago today, Jazzy gave birth to 5 beautiful little puppies. Unfortunately we had to say good bye to the little boy, but one year later the 4 girls are doing well.

A VERY SPECIAL HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOLA, ALLIE, JESSIE AND ANYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE LOVE YOU..........TAYLOR MADE YORKIES AND HOLLY

DEBUTING TAYLOR'S SAN JACINTO LUCY


Here we are again........I have to say that Lucy did pretty well for her first time out to a real show. She didn't lay down in the ring at least.........LOL. We have to work on the exam by the Judge......she was a bit timid and wanted to pull away from the Judge. Second day she did better and 3rd day everyone said she did pretty well. It was fun. Lucy took 3 firsts in her class and I have confidence she will continue to improve with each exposure. Holly


KEY TAKES HIS FIRST AKC POINT !!!!!



Here we are everyone!!! Key earned his first AKC point at the show in Fitchburg Ma on Saturday. Hw exciting!!!!!!!He took 3 first places in his class each day, 2 Best of Opposite Sex on friday and saturday and a win earning his first single point on Saturday. It was a long weekend but we all had fun as well. He was a good boy and showed well except for on Sunday. I think he was pretty tired out by then. Sorry the pictures were not all that great.......I was not the photographer......lol HOlly

HOWIE'S NEW MOM'S NOTE

Hi Holly,

Just a quick note again to apologize for not getting back to you on Howie's earlier progress after bringing him home to Massachusetts. Pardon my new "mommieness". I brought Howie to the doctor's office yesterday for his first visit, and as you can guess everyone thought he was a cutie patootie! Doc commented on what a nice handsome puppy he was and also his health is excellent (which you already knew that) and that Howie's breeder must be a very good one, seeing not only did she provide me with a lot of information but Howie is also such a fine pup.. He weighed in at 2lbs 13 oz. So he has gained some weight which is great! He is eating well and playing happily. He is doing well with the the pee pads but better yet, he went pee pee outside three times today! what a suprise that was! He slept the night (61/2 hours). We are now listening to classical music. I think he likes it.

I hope all is well at TMY and say hi to everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

Lisa

WILSON TESTIMONIAL

To anyone interested in purchasing a Yorkie from Taylor Made Yorkies:

I wanted to write and say how pleased I am with Taylor Made Yorkies. Ever since the loss of my previous Yorkies I had been longing for another. During my search I happened to come across this site. I was very impressed with the amount of knowledge the site provided. Not only was it informational but very personable, which demonstrated to me that a lot of time and care went into her pups. I was even more impressed as I began communicating with Holly. She was able to answer all my questions and more, unlike other breeders I had spoken with in the past. Not to mention when I went to her home you would never even know it was a breeders home, it was so clean and odorless. This confirmed my thoughts on how great Hollie and her business really is. My husband and I were fortunate enough to purchase one of the male pups, his name is Teddi. He is full of energy and fit right in from the start. Hollie also sends a packet home with the parents on pick up day which contains everything you need plus more, this was great. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for our little firecracker Teddi! I would recommend Taylor Made Yorkies to anyone looking to purchase a Yorkie. If anyone would like to contact me regarding my experience I would be pleased to comment.

EYE REFLECTION - MYTH OR TRUE

I have read in a couple of places about the reflection of light in a yorkies eyes. Is it a myth? or is it true? I think true.........
If you take a flash picture and the yorkies eyes turn green or yellowish, then the dog will be the correct color of blue and silk coated when they mature.
If you take a flash picture and the yorkies eyes turn red, the dog may be soft coated or stay black.
Very young puppies eyes may not show either of these colors with a flash picture, but as they mature.........you will see the colors............
If any of you have any other theorys about this subject, let me know........ Holly

REFLECTION-2007

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! With 2008 just a couple days away, I thought it would be a great time to reflect on 2007. 2007 was a great year here at TMY. If any of you have read my Blog along the way, some significant events happened and some great learning experiences.
January-Jazzy gave birth to 5 puppies. We lost our first little boy at birth from her which was devastating. Weighing in at 1 5/8oz he was just too little to survive. One of her girls only weighed 2 oz and had splayed legs. I did physical therapy on her for weeks, supplemented her every 2 hours and nursed her into health. Today she is a healthy little girl that we gave to my mom and dad. (Anya)
February-after lots of sleepless nights everyone is doing wonderful.
March- Abbie had 5 pups, 4 boys and 1 girl. Key, the tiny boy almost drown in the waterbowl when mom jumped out of the whelping box and he was nursing on her, throwing him thru the air and him landing in 5 inches of water. Clinging for his life, my husband found him as he was near death from hypothermia and drowning. We learned our lesson on keeping the water bowl close to the whelping box.
April-we attended a Meet the Breeds with Ruby. Ruby was a big hit and we met so many nice people. Later that month she delivered 3 beautiful pups.
May- YCKC annual AKC show. Learning allot and making preparations to show my first yorkie late in the summer.
June-Delia goes into labor but does not have her puppies. She has a detaching placenta and we have to have our frst C-section but all the pups survive. 3 boys and a girl.
July-TMY has their first annual Yorkie family reunion. Such a great time and so good to see all the pups.
August- I attend my first specialty show (to watch) in PA. I learned so much. We make our debut at the Union ME AKC show with Denali. Nervous but exciting. Ali took a first in her class and she was such a good girl.
September- Key turns 6 months and we are off to several shows over the next months. Ma, CT, and PA.
October- 2 litters born. Jazzy ends up with 2 born natural and a C section for the other 2. One little girl does not make it. Very sad again here at TMY but thankful Jazzy is ok. Libby has a litter of 4 healthy pups.
November-Delia is placed in a surrogate home due to the fighting. A hard decision but she is doing well and is happy being the only dog. Abbie delivers a beautiful litter of 5 by herself during the night after thanksgiving.
December-lots of happy folks picking up their puppies to go home. Ruby delivers 3 boys and 2 girls. All beautiful and doing well. Lucy turns 6 mo old. (delia's daughter). She will be debuting in January 2008 in MA along with Key who is 9 mo old now.

Babies, showing, difficult decisions, happiness and saddness...........such a mix for 2007. We at TMY is thankful for all that has happened, all the wonderful moms and dads who found us and moreover, thankful for the opportunity to share who we are and what we do. We continue to strive to better our breeding program, promote our dogs and lines by showing, and to continue to make people happy by sharing with you. Our hope through the blog is to provide educational material and learning experiences to maybe curb someone else from making a mistake maybe as we have. We love our yorkies and want them to be the very best they can be and TMY will not compromise their care.
Thank you to all of our past and new moms and dads. We are so blessed and appreciative to have you in our lives!! A big thank you to Dr Hutchins at SMVC for everything he does for us as well. Happy New Year. Holly
