Olivia’s Rustic Yorkies & Yorkiepoos

Intro:
I am a small home breeder that breeds mostly Yorkies and Yorkiepoos. I do occasionally have Morkies, which is a mixed breed between Yorkie and Maltese. All of my parents are Prue bred so that you know when you are getting a mix they are considered an F1. My babies are our babies, we do not kennel them and they sleep in our or our children beds. They a

re our family and not considers vending machines. We breed them because we love seeing what our babies make and when you adopt one of our babies we consider you part of our extended family. We absolutely love shared photos and watching them grow. FAQs:

Is the deposit refundable? Simply put, no. If you placed a deposit to be put on the waitlist and a puppy is not born (like female, chocolate, ect). Your deposit can be pushed out as far as you would like or until one desired is born. However, if you have placed a deposit on a puppy already born and selected and for whatever reason you change your mind or cannot take the puppy, your deposit is forfeited. Does the puppy have papers? If you are getting one of our pure breeds, like a Yorkie, they will come with AKC registered papers. Whether you want them or not. They are registered from the day of birth and just because you do not need them or desire them, it does not change the fact that they are registered. If you have one of our mixed breeds they do not come with registration papers. A mixed breed cannot be registered as AKC and I do not register any of them APRI or CKC. What does the puppy come with? All of our babies will be seen at minimum of two times by the vet. They get their first set of shots at 6 weeks along with a dewormer called strongid. They go back to receive their second set of shots at 8 weeks and a general over look to ensure good health before going home to you. Our babies also come with a care package and shot records to take home with you. They also come with a one year genetic health guarantee. Your receipt will have the terms and conditions for that. What comes in the care package? Typically this varies. It does include a sample of the dry food I feed them, a can of wet food, a couple puppy pads, treats and a couple toys. Sometimes it comes with a little extra, depending on the season in which they go home. What dry food do I feed them? I always want the very best for my babies so I feed them Hills Science Diet, Small Paws puppy food. It is one of the top foods to feed these little guys. That being said you are free to feed them whatever brand you care too and I do provide enough of a sample to transition them if you choose to do so. If you want to keep them on the same food, I get the food from either Petsmart, Petco or Chewy.com. What wet food do I feed them? I am not as picky on the wet food as I am the dry but I have found they love any wet food with a bit of gravy in it. How often do I feed them? These are small breed dogs and small breed dogs run the risk of sugars dropping so they are considered free feeders. It is best for the first 6 months to allow them free access to their water and food at any time to regulate their sugar. After 6 months you can train them and put them on a schedule that fits your needs. Is the puppy potty trained? This question often makes me giggle and often makes me say to myself, was your baby potty trained after you brought it home from the hospital…lol. The answer is no but let me explain why. Not being fully vaccinated I do not take them outside because I do not want to risk Parvo, distemper or a puppy escape. For that reason I train them inside on puppy pads. Not every puppy will master this by 8 weeks but we do try very hard to ensure they use only the pads and 9 out of 10 generally master that by the time they leave here. By the time they leave here they are basically toddlers and have to be trained to your specific methods. Do I crate train them? Absolutely not. Mine are never crated but that is by my choice and you are free to crate train them if that works best for you. They are however, use to being in a separate room at night and we do not sleep with the puppies so it is easier for you to train them if you desire. Will you get updated photos or videos? I try very hard to take updated photos every weekend and have them posted on Sundays. Keep in mind, I have a family and life sometimes gets in the way of scheduled updates and they may be pushed to Mondays. Even though I have in the past, I will not be able to snap a quick photo or video throughout the week. Please keep that in mind. Why are prices higher than previous years? Unfortunately, I think we all know the answer to that. In the past two years our economy have risen by 38% for the average person. That includes everything else, vet visits, shots, food, the supplies used. While I do not like raising the prices it had to be done. Also, do your research. Know the value of these babies, some breeders charge thousands for their Yorkies. I personally have not spent anything less than $2500 on my pure breeds. When can you pick up your baby? I keep them for 8 weeks. I generally know 3 to 4 weeks in advance when their last appointment is and post the dates on the page. This allows you plenty of time to arrange your schedule to pick up your baby. All pick ups must be arranged no later than the Sunday of the pickup week. For instance, if the appointment was on a Wednesday you have until the Sunday to pickup your baby. Any puppy not picked up and it rolls into midnight will be charged a $50 late pickup fee. Can you hold my puppy longer? Yes, but keep in mind it is a $50 weekly fee. The fee gets charged every Monday. So if I am holding it until Tuesday which is one week and one day it will still be $100 fee. Also, all holding fees and half the balance has to be paid by the weekend of pickup. When is the balance of the puppy due and do I take payments? The balance is due by pickup. If you need to make weekly, daily, semi weekly payments until pickup, you are free to do so. As long as it is paid by the time you pick you baby up you can pay anytime you’d like. What payment method do I use? If you are local you can drop it off, if not I use Zelle or cash app. If you are using cash app you will have to cover the fee. It is a $2.00 fee for every $100 that is sent through that app. You also can pay in cash. I do not accept money orders or checks.
