Hi and Welcome to Yorkiebabies.com Some of the most beautiful Yorkies in the World.
Important Information about your new Yorkie Puppies. Please Print this page.
Your new Yorkie Puppy is like bringing home a newborn baby, here are some Important Tips.
Food, Royal Canin Puppy 33 Dry Food, must be available for small breed and teacup puppies at all times! They should be eating 5 to 6 times a day. Figure on an average every 3 hrs!! This is very important to prevent hypoglycemia! You need to be watching that your puppy is eating frequently throughout the day and even in the middle of the night. These little ones are small and have small tummies and cannot eat alot at one time so consequently they eat often. Let them. Give new water and food in the morning and fresh again around 4 or 5 PM so they will have fresh food and water throughout the night. Do NOT feed only 3 times daily, that is a disaster waiting to happen. It is your responsibility to see that your puppy is eating well. We do not cover hypoglycemia for any reason, no one does. It is preventable by making sure your puppy is eating frequently. We use Royal Canin Puppy 33 Dry Food and suggest you keep your puppy on this food. We have found it to be the best of all the brands we have tried throughout the years.
If you have a pool or spa please either keep it covered or get a child gate. So many Yorkies die each year in pool accidents. They can get in the pool but are so short legged they cannot get out. Please remember that a Yorkie puppy does not understand the danger of this situation, please protect them with child gates. This is a must.
Yorkies have many cat like qualities. They like to jump. Never let a little Yorkie jump off the couch or off the bed. They can break a leg or a worse situation may ensue.
Get a childs playpen and training crate. Little puppies must have their nap times. If you have young children you must supervise your children when holding or playing with little Yorkie Puppies. Teach them the proper way of holding your new puppy and sit on the floor so they dont drop your new little puppy.
Childproof your house. Unplug electrical cords, keep wires from tv's and stereos out of their reach.
No bones, No greenies, they can get stuck in their throats and choke.
Certain plants are poisonous to puppies and dogs. Keep live plants away from your new puppy.
Macadamia Nuts are bad for dogs, dont give them nuts.
Chocolate is bad for dogs and puppies. Dont give them Chocolate.
Keep antifreeze away from dogs and puppies, it is lethal.
In Florida we have what is called the "bufu" toad. They are deadly to dogs, puppies and cattle even. During rainy season in Florida which is May to September, these toads are out in abundance. A puppy or dog let out at night to do their final "business" may sniff at a tree or bush where toads hide at night. These terrible toads can emit a poison from the back of their heads not even looking at the dog and kill it. I lost one of my multi champion line 10 month old Shih TzuS, our beloved Coco, to these terrible toads. We rushed her to the emergency animal hospital but it was too late, she died 3 hours later and suffered a terrible death. I dont let my dogs out after dark, you should be careful about doing so also if you live in south Florida. Love your dog and put newspapers by the back door or use a potty park. This happens to many people every year in Florida. Be extremely careful please! If you catch this immediately upon happening, immediately rinse your dogs mouth out with running water, but do not let the dog swallow the water. Go to a 24 hour emergency vet immediately.
If you have a cat also, get it declawed.
Dont use collars on these little breeds, many Yorkies die at age 6 or 7 due to collars while walking them on leashes. They get collapsed tracheas. Be kind and use a body harness or harness dress or vest instead.
Only wash puppies in a tearless puppy shampoo or Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo. Either way, make sure it is tearless. Blow dry them thoroughly after washing so they dont catch cold.
I do Not like puppy pads, they contain synthetic fibers which can be dangerous and even lethal to little puppies. If a puppy chews one of those puppy pads and those fibers in the pads get caught in their throat, they can die. I am old fashioned, use regular newspaper, it's safer.
Keep your puppy away from other dogs and puppies until they have had their first Rabies Vaccine. That means no doggie parks, no doggie beaches, no multi dog training classes until the Rabies Vaccine has been administered. Puppies can pick up all kinds of things from other dogs and you dont know where those other dogs or puppies may have been or what they may have and carry and could pass on to your new puppy. Be protective of them and they will reward you with years of love and protection in return.
IMPORTANT VACCINE INFORMATION!!
NO LEPTOSPIROSIS VACCINES for any toy breed puppies or dogs. It is Not a necessary vaccine and may be very dangerous for small breeds. All good vets know this. Remind them Not do this vaccine.
NO LYME VACCINES, this vaccine has killed even large breed dogs. It is not necesary. Use Frontline Plus as a preventative for fleas and ticks. Use Heartguard to protect against Heartworms which come from being bitten by mosquitos.
NO THREE YEAR RABIES VACCINE. Only get the one year rabies vaccine! It is too powerful for the smaller breeds. It is better to go every year than to take chances with your beloved dog.

More Yorkie Frequently Asked Questions.

Do you ship? How much is shipping?
Yes we ship via the airlines pet priority programs. Shipping is $300 within the US. This covers the flight, insurance, travel crate and another new health certificate. Puppies do go in the cargo section of the plane. This is safe for puppies if they are old enough and weigh enough. We use Continental Airlines and American Airlines. The cargo section is heated or air conditioned the same as the cabin. We ship within the continental United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Sorry we do not ship to the Bahamas or Europe. The Bahamas has quarantine restrictions and we just wont do that to one of our puppies. Europe is too far to ship these little ones. You are, however, always welcome to come pick up your puppy in person and take it home on the plane with you.
What is Your Health Guarantee?
We give a one year health guarantee on life threatening genetic diseases. Proper documentation from a qualified veterinarian is required. We retain the right to have the puppy checked by a veterinarian of our choice as a second opinion.
Males vs. Females - Why are Females generally more expensive?
There are many more Males born into the doggie world than Females. More people seem to want Females and there are less of them in litters so they are generally more expensive. Supply and demand.
Do you Accept Credit Cards and Pay Pal?
Yes we Accept Credit Cards and Pay Pal with proper identification. Do not buy from anyone who does not accept Credit Cards. Reputable Breeders own their own websites and do Accept Credit Cards. This also helps to insure that you will receive your puppy.

Yes you can, just call us to set an appointment. We are available from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday thru Saturday. Just call us at 772-336-2330 or 954-815-3235

♥♥♥ A Breeder's Poem ♥♥♥
I love my little puppy; she makes my house a home.
She is my very sweetest little friend; I never feel alone.
She makes me smile; She makes me laugh; She fills my heart with love .
Did some person breed her, or did she fall from above?
I've never been a breeder, never seen life through their eyes;
I hold my little puppy and just sit and criticize.
I've never known their anguish; I've never felt their pain,
the caring of their charges, through snow or wind or rain.
I've never waited the whole night through for babies to be born,
The stress and trepidation when they're still not there by morn.
The weight of responsibility for this body in my hands,
This darling little baby, who weighs but 60 grams.
Should you do that instead of this . . . or maybe that was wrong?
Alone you fight and hope, one day, he'll grow up proud and strong.
You pray he'll live to bring great joy to someone else's home.
You know it's all just up to you; you'll fight this fight alone.
Formula, bottles, heating pads, you've got to get this right,
two-hour feedings for this tiny guy, throughout the day and night.
Within your heart you dread that you will surely lose this fight,
To save this little baby, but God willing . . . you just MIGHT.
Day one; he's in there fighting; you say a silent prayer.
Day two & three, he's doing well, with lots of love and care.
Day four & five . . . he's still alive; your hopes soar to the heavens.
Day six he slips away again, dies in your hands, day seven.
You take this little angel, and bury him alone.
With aching heart and burning tears, and an exhausted groan,
You ask yourself, "Why do this? . . . Why suffer through this pain?"
Yet watch the joy your puppies bring,and everything's explained.
So, when you think of breeders and label them with "Greed,"
Think of all that they endure to fill another's need.
For when you buy your puppy, with your precious dollars part,
You only pay with money . . . while they pay with their heart.
