Angel
is a Yorkie-Maltese mix and the newest addition to
my family. Angel is so unique in appearance - she has the
face of her Yorkie mom and the hair of her Maltese dad, with
streaks of copper from her yorkie mom. She was 1 pound 6 oz.
at 8 weeks old, and at 2 1/2 years, she is 4 pounds 12 oz. Her
personality is definitely a combination of both parents -
lovable and feisty! She is absolutely the love of my life!

PLEASE READ!
Ever heard of Wizard of Claws in South Florida? It's a puppy mill disguised as a pet shop and is famous for selling high priced puppies - SICK puppies!
"Puppies -- seriously ill, some are even dying soon after being purchased
from a popular pet operation in South Florida."
A four-month NBC 6 investigation traces a trail of puppy heartbreak and outraged owners. Should the dogs have been sold to the public in the first place?"
Please read the following article and then pass the word to all of your friends and for the love of animals, let's get this place shut down!

Here
is our new Yaltie (Yorkie/Maltese) puppy. She is 8 weeks old, with
a Yorkie dad and a Maltese mom. Her name, Joochka, is Russian
for beetle. Nothing pleases Joochka more than to lay on the
grass with her tummy in the air. She is very commanding -- the local
12-pound cats turn tail when they see her 1 1/2 pounds of fluff! Parents:
Martin and Rada, Clearwater, Florida (6 mo. pic. on right!) |
I just love your little Angel, I
have a yorkie/maltese mix and he is all black. I have not
found them to look similar very often! I bet Angel has a great personality,
I know my Stoli does! The 2 actually look alike in features
but not in color! I think mine is slowly turning gray also, like
the Yorkie. Parent: Nikki (See Stoli's one year
pictures below)

This
is Stoli at one year old and his proud mom,
Nikki.
(Thank you so much for sending in Stoli's one year picture - he
certainly has turned into a beautiful (or should I say handsome)
young man :-) ~Barbara)

On
the left is Oscar, a yorkie poo about 6 weeks in the photo.
If he sees you laugh he will do the same thing again and has taught
himself to go sleep in his bed, potty trained to paper, fetch, shake
and (sometimes) will clap hands if you sing If Your happy and You
Know it Clap your Hands. He is now 8weeks and 2 and 1/2 lbs. On the
right is Popcorn, my 1 1/2 year old Maltipoo. Parent:
Christine Goodness |

and Fluffy how cute are they??..
Parent: Sandra B.
(You're right, Sandra - they are cuties for sure! Looking forward

My name is Hattie Belle and I am an 8 wk old Maltese/Yorkie.
I live on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. I am new to my home and am still
getting adjusted! My Mommy and Daddy LOVE ME!!!! |

3 lbs. Junior is now 3 years old and is ten pounds but he still has
the adorable puppy face. I'll send you a current picture soon.
Parent: Anna -Connecticut
(Send in a recent picture, Anna!! ~Barbara) |
Here
as a picture of my little yorkie/maltese.
After seeing Angel I knew I had to find one, and I am so excited that
I finally did. I just got her 3 days ago and I have completely fallen
in love with her. Her name is Chelsea, and she is absolutely
adorable, and the sweetest little dog ever. Left: Here is a picture
of her at 6 weeks, the day after I got her, weighing a little over
a pound. Parent: Paige UPDATE: Right: Chelsea at 1 year! (OMG,
she is just precious! How different she looks!! Beeuuutiful!~Barb) |

Stop the Madness - Please read!
Several people have written
me concerning a web site where they are "deliberately"
breeding mixed breeds. To deliberately breed mixed breeds,
for big (or small) profit, is wrong and irresponsible. This
particular site has taken money from people and never delivered
the promised puppy. They are asking big money for "mutts"
- $500 to over $1,000, and even $1,600!. They are releasing puppies at 8 weeks of
age and the puppies are getting sick - hypoglycemia being the
number one problem. Under no circumstances should a tiny breed
puppy be released before it is 2 pounds or 12 weeks. Before
purchasing a mixed breed, do your research and ask questions.
Is this mixed breed the result of an "accidental breeding"?
If not, look elsewhere. If you purchase a mixed breed from someone
who is deliberately breeding, you are contributing to the already
overpopulated dog world. The shelters are filled with mixed breeds
looking for "forever homes". Do the right thing - do
your research - ask questions - visit the shelters - and most
of all - spay and neuter your pet. Regardless of how cute
Angel is, she is a mutt, a mixed-breed, and most importantly,
the result of an "accidental breeding". To pay hundreds
of dollars for a yorkie/maltese is insane! Stop the madness -
refuse to buy from back yard breeders, puppy mills, or pet shops!!!
And just a note - pet shops who buy and sell puppies get the worst
of the worse. Just because they say it's a pure bred, doesn't
mean it is AKC standard. You could wind up with a 20 pound Maltese!
DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!! I visited a pet warehouse (I can't even call
it a pet "shop") in Richmond, VA - the puppies were
crammed in cages, some with their little legs falling through
the wire. They had NO toys to play with, they were not socialized
at all - they had food thrown in their tiny crammed cages 2x day,
and 15 puppies had to fight for their food (a good way to teach
them "food aggression!"). I saw a pure bred Maltese
that was only 4 months old and already over 10 pounds - obviously
the result of a back yard breeder. It was the saddest thing I
have ever seen. When I talked to the owner about my concerns,
he said, "it's not my place to socialize the puppies - it's
the people who buy them." Excuse me, Mr. Pet Warehouse Owner,
it IS your responsibility to see that a prospective buyer gets
a well-adjusted puppy! THIS is what reputable breeders do!
It was obvious to me there was no concern for the puppies nor
the buyer, only for the money they would bring - and big money
I might add! I was even told "selling puppies puts food on
my table." Again, please consider visiting the shelters for
your mixed breed puppy where you just might find your forever
puppy or dog - and stay away from pet shops who sell puppies and
kittens!!!! If you buy a puppy over the internet, you are asking for trouble!!
For comments from someone who has seen first hand what goes
on in puppy mills,
please read Oliver Twist's story on page

mix), add his/her picture to my "All
