This Rosie/Tuffy boy went to California.  
This is a Buttercup & Max daughter,  Annabelle       
Hope things are going well...
Just wanted to give you an update on Annabelle.  At 6
months old, she is 4 1/2 lbs. and is wonderful.  She is
beautiful...even our vet thinks so.
She has the best personality & loves to play
constantly.   She took  a visit for a haircut last
week...they put a bow in her hair which she promptly
removed in less than 5 minutes, so  they put a cute
little bandanna on her...all day she laid around &
refused to play.  I was getting worried about her & just
before I was going to call the vet she got the
bandanna off & was fine.  She was just pouting.  
(typical female, right?)  We even found a condo that
allows pets so she will be taking her first visit to the
beach in July.  We just could not stand to be away
from her a week.  We are hooked!  Thanks so much
for raising such good pups!!

This is from one of  Nala's kids:  
Ms. Lisa, She is doing great! She went the whole
weekend without having any accidents. Now I just
need to get her to go to the door to ask to go out. I
have been crate training her but have read  that
Yorkies are a challenging breed to house break.  If
you have tips that any of your clients recommend
please let me know. We went through the first part of
obedience school and she did well. She obeys sit,
stay, wait, and drop it. She also comes (most of the
time:-) when I call her.I weighed her yesterday and
she is up to 3 lbs 6oz. at 8 months, but she thinks she
is a giant.    Maria in Jacksonville

Hey Ms. Lisa,
Just wanted to send you a picture of Lucy .
This is a picture of her opening her Christmas
presents. She is now 9 months old and doing
great.  She is the delight of our lives. She is
such a joy and she loves her "Daddy and
Mama". Hope you get the picture.
Ann in Georgia
Thanks! - I enjoyed it so much I put it on the site!
Hi Lisa!

Hope you and your family had a nice Christmas. Just wanted to
let you know that he is still doing great! My Dad and stepmother
have fallen in love with him, and talk about him all the time. It's
almost like he's another grandchild, the way they spoil him!
He's definitely a big boy- and we love every bit of him! We're
still working on housetraining, but I know he'll get the hang of it.
He sleeps with me every night, and it's always right by my side.
His new favorite friend is my cat, Loki. Whenever he hears Loki
meow, he goes running! Hope you have a wonderful 2007, and
I'll try to send some pictures as soon as I can. Thanks again for
such a wonderful dog-he's truly a part of the family!
Little Bit lives in south Georgia.  His
owner says he is the best lap dog.
This is the sweetest couple and they have had Yorkies for many years.. so I value their
opinions and their friendship.  Thanks so much for the kind letter, you two.  This is a Rosie
and Tuffy puppy
.
Our Dear Lisa!!!    You are one of the most wonderful people we have ever met!!!   You are a very
special Lady who has and still is making lots of families very happy!!!  This little angel is so
cute and sweet, and we showed her off in Moultrie, Thomasville, Monticello, and all over our
neighborhood in Tallahassee!!!  Precious has entertained people from Mr. Suber in Moultrie
who is 98 to the little baby girl visiting the Manager at Fred's in Monticello, as we promised to
stop back by on the way home.  Precious is winning the hearts of too many people.  They love
her!  She is so tiny and yet she radiates joy and happiness to everyone she meets.  She met
about 40 folks today!!!  I could go on and on and on!!!  
Precious is all curled up at my feet as I type.  Diane played with her until she (Diane, not
Precious) dropped off to sleep!  Diane is an early to bed early to rise person.  I am just the
opposite, but I think Precious may lean to be like Diane!  Ha!    Her personality is really coming
out, and she is getting braver by the minute!.  Her Mommy Rosie and Papa Tuffy were so cute,
and we fell in love with all of the doggies!  We would have liked to taken about ten home with
us!!!
We hope to see you again, and maybe one day we can meet your Hubby and son.  Your son is
experiencing things that very few will ever enjoy, seeing and holding all the little babies always
being born on Carter's Ranch!!!  Maybe we can get a playmate for Precious in the future!
God bless each of you, and we will think of you often because we now have Precious!!!  We will
continue to pray for your kids in Washington state.
Hi Lisa,
Just wanted to say hello and tell you that Kennedy is doing
just fine and is the prince of the house!  He has more
clothes than I do!!  (my daughter thinks he has to have an
outfit for every occasion, poor guy!).  He is just the cutest
thing and we love him to pieces.  Would really like to get a
"friend" for him, but it is not in the budget right now!
Hope all is well with you.   Thanks,  Gina

Hi Lisa.  We bought a puppy from you in August. It
was from
Smartie Pants and Buttercup. We named
him
Kosmo. He has grown to be a handsome pup.
He is so loving. He now weighs 3lbs and 6 oz. at
four months old. I'm sorry it took so long to send u
pics. Thanks for such a beautiful doggie. We
couldn't ask for better. We are even considering
getting another pup in the future. Thanks again.

We love to get email!  Candy reserved her girl when it was born.
"Gia is such a cute dog, potty training has taken a big turn & she now is doing
great with it.   Everyone loves her to death, I mean I never knew I could love a dog
this much.  Gia right now weighs 1.8, well that was her weight last week.  she's
still small as ever though she seems to be getting a little taller. And she's so
spunky but when we go out she is very shy & quite..  She's very attached to
everyone especially me.  Hopefully we'll be able to get one of her brothers but if
someone scoops them up before I get to them, do you plan on breeding them
again?  I would love one from the two of them again (they make beautiful
pups)..
Lucky Candy did get her boy, too.  You can see Gia in her cute outfits on
our pages.  
I was thinking about rescuing, but the truth is I love to see them
grow. Gia changes every week, it's something different. She is completely blond
on her little face & her little K9 teeth are visible now.
The bond is very special
when you raise a Yorkie puppy.  They are so smart, they become a family
member.  
Everywhere I go,  people want to know where I got her from.   I must
have given out your web site a dozen times already.   
www.carteryorkies.com
I will keep you posted with Gia's progress as she grows, she goes for her last
set of puppy shots next week & shes going for her professional pictures next
month (I'll send you one). Have a great day."   Candyce
Thanks, Candy, you made my day!  Ms. Lisa

Here's a copy of this sweet letter to let you see one of the reasons I've loved working with Yorkies
and their people for 30+ years!    Ms. Lisa

TO ALL AT THE CARTER HOME - HI FROM ISABELLA PERIWINKLE AND JOHNNIE.
WE WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW BELLA IS DOING AND THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR HELPING US TO GET
TOGETHER. I KNOW THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO BREED AND SELL YORKIES AND THE PEOPLE TO WHOM
THEY SELL ARE LOOKING FOR A CERTAIN " BREED STANDARD" BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT BELLA IS 8.3
POUNDS AND VERY LONG FOR A YORKIE BUT I WOULDN'T TRADE HER FOR ALL THE TEA IN CHINA. SHE HAS AN
EFFERVESCENT PERSONALITY AND A WINNING WAY WITH OTHER DOGS AND PEOPLE WHERE EVER WE GO.
SHE IS A COMPANION FOR ME WHO FAR EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS OF A DOG OF ANY BREED. I HAVE
NEVER LOVED ANY OTHER DOG I'VE HAD, AND THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL, AS MUCH AS BELLA.
SHE IS SO BOUNCY AND BUBBLY AND FULL OF JOY THAT I CAN'T BEGIN TO FEEL LESS THAN GOOD WHEN
SHE'S WITH ME.
SHE WENT TO HER VET TO BE SPAYED LAST WEEK AND WHEN I WENT NEXT DAY TO PICK HER UP, THE VET
TECHS AND VETS TOOK ABOUT TWENTY EXTRA MINUTES IN THE OFFICE TO SAY GOOD BYE AND TELL ME HOW
CUTE AND FUN SHE IS EVEN WHEN SHE HAD JUST HAD SURGERY.
I HAVE SOME PICTURES OF US BUT I DON'T AS YET KNOW HOW TO SEND THEM. I WILL AS SOON AS I DO.
P.S.BELLA LOVES TO SWIM IN THE POOL AND I FOUND A LIFE JACKET THAT SHE WEARS WHEN SHE IS IN THE
POOL AREA.
This is a Tuffy and Nala puppy.  Tuffy is small, but mom, Nala, is ummm....pleasingly plump!  
Isabella took after her mom, I bet.
If you would like to have one of our happy, healthy Carter Yorkie puppies, contact us at  carteryorkies@yahoo.com.
Below are a few of the many actual letters I get from my sweet clients about their puppies.  I am happy to keep in touch.  My clients
do recommend us, and their pictures are scattered throughout my pages.  We are proud to have our Vet also recommend us as their
top Yorkie Breeder!   It's nice to have good references.  As a client recently said, "I was impressed with seeing how many clients sent
you happy photos and letters about their puppies."  She felt more comfortable knowing there were many happy customers!
We are AKC Approved and State Licensed for Yorkies and our Tennessee Walking Horses, too.
This is a Tuffy daughter.. Sadie is
wonderful.  She is so spoiled, I have no idea
what to do with her.  She still weighs about
3.5 pounds.  Her weight is doing great.  She
just turned one also.  She gets pampered
wherever she goes.  Shortly after we met
with you I joined the Marine Corps.  I am in
the aviation field.  I am getting stationed in
Miramar, CA -  you know the movie Top Gun.
 Congrats on the new litter, that's exciting.  
Take care.  I will get some pictures asap, I
promise.  Semper Fidelis,  Jimmy  in
California
Hey Lisa,
Just wanted to drop you an email and tell you what a joy
Casey is.  He has really made such a difference in my life.  His
love and companionship since the death of my husband has
really helped me get through some difficult times.  Thank you
so much.  I pray that God richly blesses you for being so
caring.
If you ever have an older yorkie (around Casey’s age) that you
want to sell, let me know.  I would like to get him a companion.
What a doll Ms. Jeannie is- pretty and sweet.  Casey is a
Daisy son in Valdosta, Ga..  
Such a sweet letter from this lady.
Dear Lisa,  At present Maggie is doing good.  She is
such a sweet puppy.  I think it was love at first sight.  
Lisa, she is smart, sweet, fun, and loving.  Everyone
loves her so much.  She was easy to housebreak
and took to the leash from the git-go!  
She has favorite toys that we name and she can
identify them when we tell her to bring so & so.  
Maybe I'm bragging too much but I sure am crazy
about my Maggie.  Thank you.  Sara
Hi Lisa,
I know we haven't been in contact, but I wanted to let
you know that Jasper has been charming EVERYONE
he meets.  He fell into our lives as if he was always a
member.  His doctor visit was EXCELLENT.  He had a
clean bill of health!!  Plus all the nurses and the DVM
have named him "love muffin" - I know I am a little
scared of that- (smile).  Jasper will be getting
micro-chipped this week.  He is being treated at
Heartwood Animal Hospital in NC.
My husband, who was doing this for our family, has
fallen in love with him.  He nicknamed him J-Rock.  He
will wake up at 6AM to walk him in our development.  
He is such a good pup.  Our mailman has said that he
is the best behaved dog he has met.  You maybe
getting some more customers from North Carolina.  
Thank you and your family for such a wonderful gift.  
We truly thank you
.  What a great letter!  
This is Callies pup- North Carolina.

I just wanted to let you know we took Zoey to the vet today
and he said she looks great, not even any worms!  She has
done very well at home, and only whines in her crate if she
needs to go outside, and has not had too many accidents.  
She is very spunky and is fitting in well!  Thank you again for
taking such good care of her! We will definitely be in touch!  
Emily
p.s.  Not sure if you could use this on your site, but on the
way to the vet she fell asleep holding her duck toy...too cute
I had to send it! Look at how her ears are standing up so
well!
Thanks so much- too cute is right! She is Pansys daughter.

Happy Families
Hi Lisa,

I wanted to let you know our little man is
thriving.  We love him SO much. He is
hysterical.  He runs and jumps and retrieves
everything.  I think he is part hound.  He has
changed SO much he is silver and a little red in
the face.  His ears are up now.  My baby is so
adorable.  He will be getting neutered soon.  
The children love him and so do we.  I can NOT
tell you how thankful we are to you and your
family.  Jasper has so much personality.  He
also loves socks and continually hides and
steals them from the kids – which is
hysterical!  Did I say we love him?  I will be
sending new pictures soon.  We had a little
problem with my camera (water – you don’t
want to know).   Thanks again & God Bless,
What a great family and such a nice letter!
Just wanted to let you know that his first night went
really well. He cried a little, as to be expected, but it
was no big deal.  He loves the canned puppy food,
and is staying well hydrated, so I think he will do
just fine.  I went to the petstore today and found itty
bitty puppy bones (about the size of a macaroni
noodle).  I gave him one and he actually crunched
it into small pieces and ate it. It was the cutest! In
a few days I will try to start giving him some dry
food again, he just loves the canned so much I am
letting him enjoy it for now.  I can't get over how
friendly and playful he is! He is a great puppy.
Thanks again for everything. I will send you some
pictures and another update when he gets a little
bigger.  
This is a tiny Smartie and Jazzy puppy.
Here is Ayana's
new puppy right,
and as an adult
below, with his
new 'do! She
recently sent me
a very sweet
letter.
This sweet lady had a bad experience with another breeders Yorkie puppy
-and it died.  This one is a Ninja and Max boy..
Things are great. The vet said he looks healthy. I am having a blast
with him. Gracie is tolerating him and occasionally plays with him.
She lets him bite on her ears and just looks up at me like "momma,
please make him stop". It is hilarious This experience is 180 degrees
different. He eats, poops and pees. I have  no complaints. I had
trouble with those basic functions before.  I named him Cooper and
he is already learning his name. I decided to keep him in my jacuzzi
tub for now so he has room to move around and play. He doesn't even
cry when I leave as long as one of my shirts is in there with him. Lisa,
I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am for giving me this
opportunity. I will say, I was really nervous and I guess a little paranoid
b/c of the last time but I'm over it now.Thank you!! Oh, both of his ears
are up now. I'm not much for pictures b/c I don't have a digital camera
so please bear with me and I will send some eventually. Please keep
in touch if ya can.

Two puppies are better than one

Today Miley is going to Spokane to Ireland's dance class to
be shown off to the little girls.  Her dance teacher has 2
yorkies but they are not nearly as cute.  I hope you know how
spoiled and loved she is!!  She is fitting in so good.  She
sleeps all night without crying.  We are loving being her new
family.  Ireland has two much older brothers who live in
Spokane.  They can't wait to see her.  I hope you sell out your
puppies.  I know we will be buying another one someday.  I
just can't tell people enough about the great experience we
had with buying her from you.  We were quite worried and
scared about online buying.  We were told never to buy a dog
without seeing it and the home first and never have one
shipped.  
I wish everyone online looking for a yorkie knew
about you and your beautiful puppies.
Me Too! There was a
breeder in Yakima that we were interested in and our emails
never got answered so we then found you.  Well 2 weeks ago
that breeder was on 'Judge Judy" for running a puppy mill.  
My heart sank when I saw that.  So thank you for everything
and I will send pictures soon.  Sincerely ,  Greg, Kellie and
Ireland  
This is Sophia's puppy.
This is a picture of Oliver doing his 'high five'
trick. My daughter, Mason (10), loves to teach
Oliver new tricks.  Oliver is a year and a half
and he has such a great personality.  He is
bell trained to let us know when he wants to
go outside. He is a really smart dog.

He was absolutely perfect on the way home.  I
stopped twice to let him use the bathroom
and he did both times. Potty training is going
wonderfully.  I can't believe how well it is
going. We went to the vet today and got a
clean bill of health.  It was just a check up
since he is not due for any shots. He may be
small but he is very healthy.  We are just so
thrilled with him!!  He is totally the perfect dog
for us, personality and everything!!  Thank you
so much for allowing us to buy one of your
puppies. It was love at first sight on this one.

This is one of Coco's puppies
I hope everything is well.  I am sending you a recent
picture of Bodie and me.  He is 3.5 pounds now and doing
great.   We are in obedience training and the instructor
says Bodie is going to set the curve in the class!  He is
fiesty and super playful at home, but also really sweet.  
He has come along great with potty training.  We flew to
Chicago for Thanksgiving (and are going back for
Christmas) and my parents love him too.  
Hope the rest of your holiday season is great.    =) karla

Hi Lisa,
This litle boy is something else! He is spoiled
already and he jumps and bounces around like a
furry ball.  We discovered how much he likes
to chew on fingers and toes. Our cats watch him
with amazement and they run when he tries to
chase them.  Little Maxwell is the best thing
we could have ever done.  We will keep u posted on
his little adventures.
Tom and Martha
I have attached a picture of Baxter and Mojo on their first
birthday.  They are a delight.  It is so much fun to watch
them play and race around the house after each other.  
Mojo is such a sweetie.  He has a gentle nature to him,
except when he plays with his brother!  Baxter is 5.5lbs
and quite the dominant one!  Although he prefers to curl
up in my lap for a nap at just about any time.  We've had
them in training and they are quite smart.  I've also
attached a picture of them in "place".  Amazing how
quickly they picked up the commands.  Hope you are
doing well and just wanted you to know that we love the
boys to pieces and are glad they joined our family!  Cheri   
So nice to hear from these two Pansy sons
a Cute Zinnia boy
I am happy to say he ate very
well today and he slept well and
he used puppy pads.  He was
alot more energetic and playful
today!  He did not whimper at all
last night.    He is doing great!  I
just love him!  He is so calm and
so cute and I found out today
that those little teeth are pretty
sharp!  If I have any more
questions I'll be emailing!  
Thanks again for your help!

Hi Lisa:
We bought one of your Yorkies this past July and just wanted to
send you a few pictures of her.  Coco has stolen our hearts and
we absolutely adore her !  She follows me everywhere when I am
at home and is my constant companion.  She likes nothing better
than to curl up on your lap and sleep (when she's tired)
otherwise she is constantly in motion.  Wish I had ½ the energy
she does!  Thank you so very much for giving us such a beautiful,
smart, and loving companion.  She knows no strangers and
loves everyone & everything.  Coco has brought so much joy to
our family; we wouldn't know what to do without her!  She is like
another child to my husband and I and we spoil her rotten.  One
of the pictures I am attaching is of her crawling into her toy box
to find a favorite toy of hers... all of these were taken within the
last 2 weeks.    Again... thank you for giving us such a beautiful
and lively puppy - we will always be grateful.  
Sincerely,  Kathleen  
Pansys cute daughter
Lisa,   I just thought I would send you this
current pic of Scout.  He just turned three and
we can't even remember life without him.   
Thanks again,  Donna in Florida
I was cruising the site and realized that when i come back
into the country I will be driving back down to get another one
of your puppies. Xavier is doing really well and is with his
Auntie right now while I'm deployed. She drove down with me
to get him and between me, her and her husband, he is
spoiled. He such an awesome dog. He still only barks when
the door bell is sounded but other than that he does not
bark(awesome). He tends to forget that he is a dog and will
not go out in the rain if he has to potty but will never go in the
house. He was soooo easy to train and a very fast learner. He
still loves to go out in the back yard area and wander until he
is ready to come in and have a drink of water. He goes to
doggy day care for his interaction with other dogs since
pitbulls are in my area. He loves to go there and play in the
pool. Well just wanted to let you know I'm so grateful for my
little guy and I will be emailing soon to reserve him a little  
play buddy.   Miss Mo                                              
  
Hi Lisa,
I'm just opening this...more evidence of my technological
challenges.  Gracie is beautiful.  As soon as I learn to send
pictures, I will make sure u get one.  Her eyes are enchanting.
She weighs 3.6lbs.  Her face and under coat are all platinum.  
Her black top coat is growing less every day. We all luv her to
death, even Tobias.  Our vet has a special fondness for bird
dogs, but Gracie has even captured his heart.  He has a fit over
her every time she goes in for a check up.  Thanks for sharing
the fruits of your labor....it has been our blessing.  Take care.  
Hope to send you pictures soon. Blessings to you & your
family.  
This is a Nala & Smartie puppy- can't wait to see
pictures.    south Georgia
Hi Lisa, just wanted to give you an update on
Molly.  She is absolutely awesome, far more
than I dreamed of!  She is extremely
independent (the folks at the vets called it
spoiled).  Her ears are standing up and she's
about 80% potty trained.  She is so smart- she
will chase a ball and bring it back to Brooks.  
We can't imagine life without her.  It's a new
adventure with her every day.  The whole
family has crowned her  "Miss Personality".  
It's really profound what Brooks said to me
yesterday,  "I would have paid twice as much
as we paid for her, to have her". That pretty
much sums it up how we love our baby doll.  
Love, Kathleen   in Georgia
Here is my real reward- happy new friends.

I am trying to take a photo of her in the same position as a
photo I saw on your website of her Dad, Max.  Max was
looking out a window and it was a beautiful photo.  I have
floor to ceiling windows in my living room and I am trying to
pose Tink just like Max was in that photo.  Not having much
success with that task.  She looks like a little rag-a-muffin.  
I comb her and she is beautiful for 10 seconds.  Then the
hair goes back to separating into strands - but she is
soooooo beautiful.  I think I will keep her hair long.  Once
the puppy fur fell out she has actual hair - like people.  It
doesn't really tangle.  I groom my pups myself.  Anyway,
thanx again for Tink.  She makes me smile!   T
Love hearing from my puppies and their people.  That silky
coat really is easy to keep.  Tink could have her own fan
club- she has people writing to me often, to try to buy her....
TINK
We just got home with him and he is so sweet!  We first
walked him around the house in the grass and he immediately
went potty.  Then we walked him a bit and he took right to the
leash.  He wants so much to be right next to us at all times.  
He shakes when we set him down in the house (probably
because of the 8 and 13 pound kitties) so I have been holding
him and he is sleeping in my lap right now   He is so cuddly
and loving.  I can tell that he comes from a very loving family
and I must thank you for that.   Our kitties have responded
much better than I thought.  They are inquisitive but are more
accepting in their curiosity than I thought they would be.  I will
definitely follow your advice on feeding, potty training, and
bedding set up. Any and all advice is completely welcomed,
especially from his first human mother. Haha!    Thank you for
everything! Erika
 This puppy is Nala's. He flew from Georgia
to Washington state that day.
Here are some cute Webster stories -
1)  If you'll recall, I'm hoping to train him to be a therapy dog.  His puppy
kindergarten starts 7/13 but I had a chance today to take him to a
rehab.  I put him on the lap of an older lady and while on her lap he laid
down and let her pet him for at least 30 minutes when I had to leave.  
He seemed to know what was expected of him.  On my lap at home
he's a typical little puppy who is always looking for something to do,
but with her he was totally calm. It was amazing!!
2)  He goes to work with me every day and yesterday when I got back
from a meeting his crate was gone and in it's place was a note
demanding $25,000 in unmarked bills.  Signed by one of my team.  (OK,
not the smartest dog-napper!!)  Seems everyone was in on it because
no one would tell me where he was.  Even knowing he was safe with
people he knew I was getting a bit concerned after hunting through the
church for 30 minutes.  But finally found him, happy as a little clam,
sleeping in the office next to mine.  The ransom note is going in his
baby book.
3)  Webster has changed the dynamics of our family. We already had
two males and one female Chihuahua. The oldest male (7 years old) is
the alpha dog, although he doesn't know it. He's a very nervous,
frightened little fellow who never plays but the other two treat him as
alpha.  Bless his heart!  Webster moves in and because this alpha
(Puddles) doesn't growl at him when he approaches, he plays with
him.  Moving this story along:  Webster has turned Puddles into a
player and even in this short period of time, they have formed a bond.
Their bond is stronger than any of the other bonds in the doggie family.
 Webster has been so good for Puddles.  Truly great to see  him play
and enjoy doing it.  Thank you Webster!!
 Fantastic. He is doing therapy
already!
I'm certain, Lisa, down the road when we need another dog, it will be a
Yorkie and he will come from you.  Webster is fantastic.  Several folks
have asked where he came from and I've given them your name so I'm
certain they will be looking at your website.  When he tires, he finds
me and falls asleep at my feet.  What a boy!   Sandra
This is a Buttercup and Max boy in Tennessee.
Hi Lisa,  Just wanted to let you know, Gracie is
GREAT.  We love her so.  She is so smart and sweet.  
Thank you so much for Gracie.  P.S. We look at your
website daily and love all the new babies.  They are
so Beautiful!! You do a wonderful job matching the
moms and dads.  Meers family, in Georgia

1 yr old Birthday. "We just love and enjoy her so
much.  I love the pictures of her on your site.  The
one in her play pen is one of my favorite pictures.  
Every where she goes, people want her.  She still
looks like a puppy except a little grey on top.  
Have a great day", The Luiten's
Hummer is just adorable. He is very sweet and very
playful. I did get pictures printed finally--I just have
to get doubles made so that I can send you a

Hello Lisa,   Well, after taking a load of furniture to
Athens, GA;  we finally made it back at 8:30 PM
Saturday.  The puppies( current name choice is
Ginger and Rocky) arrived in good shape.  We were
well pleased with the fact they traveled so well. The
pups have settled into a good routine.  They get lots
of walks outside and play until they drop in their
tracks.  Not too many accidents, but just enough to
give us practice watching busy pups and making
mad dashes to the door just in time!
Ginger is the dare-devil, as she is much too pounsy.
First thing she did when we got home was to run up
our stairs to the second floor and look over the
railing to the floor ten feet below.  I grabbed her just
as she was thinking about trying to fly!
Their first trip to the Vet went well.  They both got a
clean bill of health!  
Also, took them by Mimi's work yesterday and
stopped all work as they took over the office.  I
think we have sold lots of puppies for you!  Are
there any finder fees available?  Just kidding!

Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas!  
Jasmine has brought us so much joy.  She is
beautiful and so intelligent. After the holidays we
will send you a full update with all the details. You
can see by the photo attached she poses for the
camera. We can't thank you enough.  Merry
Christmas, Steve, Stacey, Devon and Darielle

Lisa, Just thought I would update
you...  Chloe did not whine or cry
when I drove her home, bathed her,
or brushed her last night.  She
played and bounced around after
her bath.  I put food in her bowl and
she ate it up with no worries at
all.... she didn't seem upset,
nervous or anything from being
away from her mom.  She settled
right in and once she got ready to
lay down she went right into her
crate like she had lived there all
her life.  She did not whine or cry all
night last night and she used the
pee-pad to do her business at least
twice last night.  So far she is being
the perfect doggie!  Janice in

I just wanted to let you know how great
Reef is doing.  Our whole family is totally
in love with him.  Our Goldens seem to
like him too!  His ears are standing up
now and potty training is going pretty
well.  He is so sweet and fun.  I have
been having to allot each of my kids
one-on-one time with him because he is
so popular!  He has been EVERYWHERE
with us and has been a great little
traveler.  We are taking him with us to
Virginia tomorrow for the week.  Thanks
so much for such a great little puppy and
for putting up with all my questions!

Hi Lisa,  Everything is going well - Cooper is a wonderful
addition to our family. We are really pleased, and definitely count
as another of your Happy Families!  He loves to run, as you can
see in one of the photos.  We took him for his first bicycle ride
yesterday, all he needs is a pair of sunglasses now!

Hello Lisa! Hope you remember my little Ozzie from last summer (A
Ninja/Max puppy sent to Washington State). I had a few very cute pictures
of Ozzie that  I would love to show you and attached. He is an amazing dog
and he is constantly on my side and wanting to snuggle or play all day. He
is a very active dog and goes to the dog park with his big brother (the
golden retriever).
I find that wherever I go, I always hear how great my little guy is and they go
on and on about his personality. Another usual is: 'I don't like little dogs, but
I like this one'. This last one was made from my neighbor. I gave him your
contact information, and website info.  Hope you enjoy the pictures. I have
so many but it shows how well he has adapted to my life up here in
Washington.  
An update on the little guy - he's doing well in his
next set of lessons (by Orion Kennels here in
Tennessee).  I'm starting him on rally and soon
on agility.  I know it looks like I'm overwhelming
him but we'll try it all and see what he likes best.
 Believe me, he's dog enough to let me know
very quickly what he likes and doesn't like.  He's
very close to getting his STAR designation and
then he can start doing therapy visits.  Both his
trainers are so impressed with his ability to
focus. They both talk over my head at times
when discussing his potential, but all I can tell
you first hand is he is an exceptional little dog.  
He is just about 90% of the way to being the
alpha dog here (with three Chihuahuas) and
everyone seems just fine with it.  I love this little
guy and thank you every day.  Down the road I
know there will be another Carter Yorkie in our
home.  He's getting clipped later this week and
I'll be sure to send his picture.  Meanwhile,
here's his latest beach picture -

Hi Lisa,
Lola is getting along fabulously, and seems
to be adapting to her new home.  We
continue to work with her on
housebreaking, which is hit and miss (as
expected), but are making headway.  This
is the best Christmas present the children
have ever had!
All the best over the holidays…Rob

Thanx, I am not showing her.  I only show her picture to
everyone I see.  She is so beautiful.  I was speaking to my
sister yesterday and told her that I would never buy a pet
from a pet store again.  "You get what you pay for."  I know
that sounds insensitive when you are speaking of a
member of your family.  Tink is truly a member of our
family.  She is the baby.  Thanx again. T.

Samson is an absolute delight.  At 9 1/2 weeks he is still well
under 3 pounds, eats great and always goes outside.  He is
beginning to walk on the lead with his new mates, but does
not like the ice, snow, cold or wind.  Neither do I, but he will
adjust. He is very smart, playful, loving, a good eater, and is
fine in his crate during the night. I could not have asked for a
more perfect Yorkie pup. Thank you so much.  Will stay in
touch and keep you in pics as he gets older.  I think he
resembles the puppy pics of his mom that I loved so much on
your website.  Hoping you and your family have a healthy and
happy new year.'09    Beth Ann and Steven in New York
Yes she did seem very happy! I am just so glad it worked out so
well and I REALLY appreciate all that you did to help with this!! You
and your family are truly amazing people and enjoyed meeting you
all! I will keep you posted on her and send a pic when she is older!
She is sound asleep right now and my other dog is quickly
warming up to her! She has not whined once when getting ready
to sleep and I have to tell you, she has the BEST personality
imaginable! She has already melted all our hearts (especially
moms)! She is so precious! We have not decided a name yet but
are planning on deciding on one sometime tomorrow! (I'll let you
know)     Brittany    2010

Hi Lisa,    Samson is now 13 1/2 weeks old.  
Both ears are back up and looks like they will
stay that way.  He really enjoys his walks now.  
The black in the face is slowly growing out and
he has become a very handsome guy. Here is
a recent pic of this gorgeous Carter Yorkie.
Absolutely amazing how alert, lovable, playful
and smart he is. Still a great eater and makes
it through the night without incident.  Not sure
of his weight, but was 3lbs 3oz at 12 weeks.
Guessing he will be 6 1/2 to 6 3/4.  Let his
daddy Max and mommy Buttercup know he is
doing great.  Will forever be grateful to you for
this terrific puppy that brings us new joys
every day. Hope you and your family are well.
