Cathy and Al.

It will be two years this April (2009,) since we have had our Yorkie. Co Co is truly a joy and her personality wins everyone over. She weighs four and one half pounds and continues to be a happy and healthy member of the family. After we got Co Co she was house broken in two months with very few "accidents". She is a very very smart and it goes without saying "she is spoiled". She is truly a People Pet! Your follow up with us after we got Co Co is testament to your caring attitude for all of your pets and new owners. If anyone is considering a Yorkie, I would be more than happy to share our wonderful experience with our little furry family member.

Thank you SO much for all your help! Daisy is so sweet and we really love her! Thru her "rough" start in life with a broken leg as a puppy, you were right there for us with advice and guidance. Your kindness and dedication to your clients and the breed itself show the quality of person you truly are and the love for the breed you have.

It is so hard today to find a knowledgable and caring breeder who even after the "sale" will answer any and every question owners have about their dogs or the breed in general.

Thank you for all the continued help and support!

Love,
Barb, Mike, Oz & Daisy

Charlie Venero

Hi Cathy, This is Charlie Venero and I purchased a papillon from you in Oct 2008. I just wanted to send you a line and let you know how we are doing and send you some photos. He is such a joy and I love him so much. I love taking him everywhere. He misbehaves a little but he makes up for it with his love for me. We snuggle, we kiss, and he loves being next to me ALL of the time. He is like a child asking me to pick him up all of the time. I have told many people that if they ever wanted a terrific breeder, that would be you. Enjoy the pics which I have entered into photo contests because my baby is sooooo cute. Thanks forever, Charlie

Our family has two of Cathy's Sheltie puppies, Maxie and Dakota. Gary has always loved Shelties. We set out to find a puppy for Gary's birthday. We made several phone calls and talked to several people before we found Cathy. As soon as we came for our first visit we were taken by the beautiful setting, the lovely home and wonderful conditions the dogs live in. They even have their own very large room with lots of windows, an air conditioner and their own flat screen TV!! We fell in love with little Maxie who was five weeks old. Cathy encouraged us to come back to visit and bond with our puppy, so we did on two consecutive Sundays. We brought Maxie home in August, 2007 when she was 8 weeks old. Cathy is so sweet and really great with her dogs and puppies. She has a fantastic place and we love to visit. She was very kind to show us around and introduce us to all her boys and girls and she has always been patient and kind about answering all our questions and letting us take our time visiting with our new babies. She never made us feel rushed or pushed us to make our decisions. I would truly recommend anyone who is looking for a puppy to please call her and go to see her and her puppies. It is more than worth any drive you may have to make. We are about an hour and a half away and we would gladly drive three times that far again. She really wants you to be happy with your new puppy and she wants her puppies to have really good homes. Her puppies are definately more than just a business to her, the mommies and daddies are her kids and the puppies, her grandchildren and she wants and gives only the best for them. When we decided Maxie needed a little brother or sister we contacted Cathy again (by now we wouldn't even think of going any where else) and Dakota came home in April, 2008 when he was 9 weeks old. Today they are both the loves of our lives. Maxie is the quiet shy type and Dakota is the wild child, but they get along great and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Cathy for two of the sweetest babies in the world and for all your help, patience and understanding when we were getting them. Give her a call, you won't be sorry! Christina, Gary, Jennifer, Maxie & Dakota Lucas

Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful new additions to our family! Foxy and Maxie have been great. The Vet. has commented on how healthy and happy they are. Everyone who meets my girls are impressed at how friendly and outgoing they are. I don't believe that they have ever met a stranger. And also i would like to thank you both for being there anytime we had questions or needed some advise for the girls. You both feel like part of our family now. I truly believe that the way you inter grated my family and the girls from their birth has been the key to our happiness. I have owned many animals in my life but until now the transition from your home to mine has never been so easy. You can be assured that y'all will be the only ones that we deal with in the future. Thank You, Dave, Foxy, Maxie, and Family

We are so blessed to have found you which allowed us to find Karlee. She has brought so much joy and love to our lives since the "adoption". Karlee has grown (if you want to call 3.2 lbs. "growing") into such a beautiful and perfect Yorkie. Any time we take her with us to Town Square, we can't hardly walk 10 feet without someone stopping us and wanting to look at Karlee. We have had so many great comments from passers-by about how "perfect" she is. She had traveled with us to Virginia, Tennessee, and South Carolina and everyone who sees her has the same comments about her perfect color, size and disposition. We had handed out all of your cards to people here in The Villages and told them the story about how wonderful you were to allow us to adopt Karlee even after you had chosen her to be one of your own family. Your kindness and generosity could never be repaid. And, even after we took Karlee home, whenever we called with questions about her behavior, care, etc., you were right here to offer advice and help to get us through the baby stage. I know we will enjoy and love Karlee for many years to come and thank you for bringing us together. She has brought us so much joy for this Christmas season that we didn't need any other gifts. Before coming to you we had searched many pet shops and breeders from Orlando to Ocala and all in between before visiting your home. Once we saw first hand how your dogs and puppies were bred and raised, and how you could trace the lineage right there at your ranch, we knew there was no need to look any further. We would highly recommend you and your service for anyone looking to adopt a new puppy, and especially a Yorkie. Best Regards, Joyce and Frank Kruppa, and Karlee Angel

Cathy, I bought a puppy from you a little more than a year ago. He is one of Annabelle's little boys. I named him Brooks. Please see a recent picture of Brooks after a haircut. He is the most loveable, snuggly, outgoing dog. He is such a joy. Thank you so much for raising such great dogs. Katie

After our beloved Gretchen, a 15 year old Yorkie passed away, we were uncertain about whether we should aquire another Yorkie. However, we also had a Komandor that was also 15 years old and didn't want her to grieve, as she too was becoming sad and not wanting to eat.

We looked through the newpaper and found a listing advertising Yorkies, AKC cuties full of love and kisses. We certainly needed much love and kisses during this difficult time. I wouldn't get out to even see them at first, as I was crying and wasn't sure that I could love another Yorkie at that time. Cathy and Al were absolutely wonderful. Yes, we did pick the cutest little female. We were so fortunate that Cathy and Al had "The family tree" all about. We saw the mother, father, grandfather and aunt. I was amazed at how beautiful and clean Cathy and Al had it for their fantastically adorable Yorkies. The care and love that they give these cuties is so much more than we have ever seen. They really spoil all the puppies. All the puppies and their extended family were healthy, clean and very active. We were given an in depth folder of information, a piece of blanket from our new family member's bed. Cathy explained how to care for our cutie. Yes, after 15 years, a new puppy was quite a change for us. We had children at home to help out. We brought our new Yorkie home, chose a very long name, only to call her JoJo for short. JoJo fit in the palm of my hand. Our Aerial, Komandor, perked up and she had a new friend. This was last year on April 15th. We were so impressed with JoJo and perhaps felt bad we had left her cute little brother behind. The very next day we took JoJo back for a visit to her family, and purchased her brother, who goes by the nickname of KaCee. That was one of the best decisions we made during our grieving on the loss of Grethcn. Now Aerial had two playmates and was enjoying playing with them. Sadly, Aerial passed away 8 weeks later.

Cathy has always been there when we call with questions, and we just feel a family bond there. We send pictures of JoJo and KaCee to Cathy, email her and call her. We would recommend anyone that loves Yorkies, and wants more then just a "dog", contact Cathy and Al. It is there you will find a "family".

Thank you Cathy and Al,

I, Brittany, have always wanted a Sheltie; they are my favorite breed of dog. I even did a lot of research to fully learn every aspect of them. My mom and I first tried to go with a Sheltie Rescue Center to save one. But we ended up not going with them considering the difficulty they gave us. I now know that it was fate, and that was meant to happen. We first heard of Cathy and her "babies" from my dad who has done work for them. We decided to go ahead and put our name on the list to possibly have a new little addition to the family. That was the best decision we have ever made! As soon as we pulled up to Cathy's house, we felt a very friendly vibe. She came out with a big smile on her face, and we knew that something magical was about to happen. We walked in and took a look at everything around (the place is amazing; with a large area for the mommies and for the daddies). We then decided we were going to go with a Sheltie Cathy had to offer. It appeared that the dogs there are all very well taken care of. And we could see in Cathy's eyes that she loved each and every animal there. On our second trip, it was time to choose our pup. I went to see Godiva and Merlin's litter, and when I did...I saw the most adorable little doggie I have ever seen. He came right up to me,and put his paw in my hand. I decided right then that he was the one. Him and his other siblings were in very good conditions...the room is so clean and they're loved very much. I would completely recommend going with Cathy and no one else. She is an amazing lady. Not only with her doggies, but in general...she is so very sweet and wants the new pet owners to feel comfortable in taking home their new family member. She always welcomes us to come back and visit with Diego. She has been and will always be his Grandma. She can answer any question you have about your puppy. My mom and I are so happy to have gotten our little man (as we call him). Cathy, thank you so much for everything.

I was looking for a small dog for my 4 year old for Christmas. I came across a litter of Cat's Yorkie pups on the internet and fell in love. I told my daughter, Canyon Skye, Santa couldn't fly puppies on Christmas Eve because it was too cold. So, Santa sent her puppy to Miss Cathy. When we arrived at the beautiful home in the country, I told my daughter "there's Miss Cathy"! I couldn't stop the car fast enough. She was out of her car seat yelling "Miss Cathy, Miss Cathy!" We felt at home, and I knew this is where our puppy was meant to come from. My daughter told everyone that she saw a baby Alpaca. And, I boasted to all who know our little "Sparkles" what a warm and loving environment he came from.

I whole heartedly encourage anyone looking for a dog to visit Cat and her home. You'll feel at home.

Last April after much thought, I decided to find a new puppy for my husband and myself. A friend of mine had 2 Yorkies and I was very fond of them both and asked her advice. She wanted me to see other breeders as well as Cathy. Needless to say, I was not very impressed with what I saw until I saw Cathy.

I knew instantly that I would get one of her Yorkie babies. I could tell immediately that she loved animals! I felt like I was taking one of her children which made it very hard to make a decision. I knew that whichever one I selected would be a good choice. The problem is, I wanted all of them. You can see right away she is a very caring person. I truly felt her animals “come first”. Every question I asked was answered thoroughly and completely and even though I did have some silly questions, she never made me feel inadequate.

I made the decision to bring a little female home that day and we call her
BELLA! It was truly one of the best decisions I ever made. I have since talked to Cathy several times via telephone and email and plan on keeping in contact with her. I feel like I not only gained a puppy but also a new friend.

For anyone contemplating purchasing a puppy, this is the place to go. I have every intention of getting another playmate for my Bella and without question, it will be from Cathy.

Dear Cathy You were recommended to us by a friend who had just purchased a little Yorkie from you and we visited a short time later with a view to buying a Sheltie and having looked around your facility and being very impressed with the loving way that you and your husband raise the many animlas you have, we decided that we needed to look no further. We put our names down and awaited the birth of our puppy. You kept us updated and eventually we came up to see the litter and our new puppy. She was then around 2/3 weeks old and we did not bring her home with us for around another 5/6 weeks. She is a beautiful addition to our doggy family. We named her Abbie and she now spends hours and days just having fun with her two brothers, Dante, a Sheltie and Aramis, a Papillion. I would recommend anyone to contact you if they wished to buy a puppy. They are raised with love and you do a fantastic job. Thank you for all you do. Every best wish Tim and Sue Stearn. Tampa, Florida.
