MIJOY  32 years experience with the YORKSHIRE TERRIER  BREED

 we are NO overnight sensation...........


Keep an EYE on this page, updated daily….. 




WE don’t cut corners........

Our Yorkie pups are registered with KUSA and micro chipped with IDENTIPET Micro chips.

*Sold with a contract of sale.*Carry health guarantees

*Inoculated and dewormed.





Can you overfeed a TEACUP DOG????

Another question from my website.

The only time any pup, teacup or any other size,  may overeat is if the dog has worms, or parasites in the gut.  The reason all dogs should be checked out regularly by your vet, dewormed regularly and a stool sample or flotation done (as often as suggested by your vet) to ensure your pup or dog is parasite free in the gut.

A genuine teacup pup needs to eat 5 – 6 meals a day within a 24 hour period, this includes during the night.  This is important as the smaller the dog, the quicker the dog’s metabolism. The smaller the pup the earlier it will begin to eat - our teacup pups start eating solids at anything between 18- 21 days of age. Once they start to eat solids they must still have the opportunity to drink from their mothers as well. Mother will visit them regularly during the day and stay with them most of the night.

You can offer a genuine teacup pup/dog unlimited food – 24/7 and it will remain the genuine teacup sized dog it is genetically meant to be.

 

STARVING, RATIONING A PUPS FOOD INTAKE IS CRUEL AND CRIMINAL.  NO DOG OR PUP WILL BECOME A TEACUP SIZED ADULT BY STARVING OR RATIONING FOOD.  You will however end up with an unhealthy, lightweight, problematic dog at the end of the day. A walking skeleton. With possibly unlimited health issues.

A genuine teacup will never survive being rationed food, such a tiny baby needs constant nutrition.

AS ALWAYS - ALL OUR PUPS CARRY HEALTH GUARANTEES



 


 

A question that came via my site recently.

Can an uninoculated dog visit my inoculated dog?

We have to look a bit further than this initial question. When you say your dog is inoculated, has it had all the inoculations required. If it is a pup I would not be keen to mix any uninoculated dog with it until it is over four months of age at which time, it should be fully inoculated.  Puppy inoculations are as follows:

6 weeks  -  First inoculation

10 weeks  -  Second inoculation

*IF you are in a RABIES area, inoculate Rabies at 12 weeks of age and a  booster shot at 16 weeks.

14 weeks  -  Third inoculation and rabies

18 weeks  -  Booster Rabies if suggested by your vet. OPTIONAL

 

Once a pup is around 16 weeks of age you can safely assume your pup is fully inoculated.  Inoculations are repeated as above to ensure that should any of the inoculations at anytime for whatever reason not take effect in protecting your pup, the follow up inoculation will.

 

If your adult dog has had all its shots as a baby and then its annual booster shot and rabies, you can safely visit with an uninoculated dog. HOWEVER, the owner of that uninoculated dog must get the dog inoculated.

The well known illnesses that can infect your dog that if not inoculated are Parvo – also known as cat flu, although it has nothing at all to do with a cat.

Distemper. 

Puppies and young dogs are prone to Parvo, not older dogs.

Distemper can affect any pup or dog at any age if it is not inoculated.

 

Speak to your vet, protect your pup and dog.  NO dog or pup should not be immunised.







WOW – INFO ON THAT TEACUP DOG AGAIN............

It is obvious by the width of this dog’s back in my hand that she is NOT a scrawny, underweight teacup dog of 18 months of age but a solid, robust dog, she is in the vicinity of 780 odd grms. Adult dogs of this weight are MAJOR RARE.  She has been sterilised, way too small and  NO teacup dog is used or has ever been used in our breeding program, impossible. 

If you are told teacup dogs are being bred from - they are not teacup dogs to start with. We do not breed our small pocket dogs either. WAY TOO SMALL

DO NOT starve your pup in an attempt to keep it small. VERY unhealthy and irrespective of what tactics you use, a dog will only be a genuine TINY if it is genetically meant to be one. Manipulating your dogs size or weight, is only going to result in you ending up with a very UNHEALTHY, underweight, scrawny dog. We have been producing TINIES for many, many years. HEALTHY, ROBUST, they live long healthy lives, the reason we sell ALL OUR PUPS WITH HEALTH GUARANTEES........  We are PROUD of our genuine HEALTHY TINIES.............  

We must however, as always point out that these GENUINE TINIES are suited to VERY FEW OWNERS.   Are they sickly? NO, not at all, are they weak? NO not at all. It all depends on how they are bred and raised. NO breeder can tell you a pup is a teacup at birth or at four weeks of age.

99% of teacups advertised as such are NOT TEACUP DOGS in the first place.....

The photo below and many that grace our website are of BABYGIRL, the dog at 18 months is actually lying in my hand with her head up......

Please do not expect us to produce this size dog by the dozen, it does not happen.

WE LOVE YOU BABYGIRL....  Born to shop, she goes with me - everywhere......

She has NEVER been separated from me, when she was sterilised, the vet (thank you - greatly appreciated) sedated her on my lap, took her for her op, returned her to me as she was waking up. He monitored her until such time as he was happy for her to leave. VERY short period of time.  This little girl, did not suffer one seconds ill effect of being sterilised.  Marlene Kraft's GENUINE Teacup from us was also sterilised by our vet, and her comments, regarding Cloe's sterilisation - she did not even appear to have had an op.

STERILISATION IS MAJOR IMPORTANT



     

We at MIJOY guarantee what we breed. All our pups carry health guarantees. 




This morning I received a question via my website, the person concerned asked about registering her dogs she intended to start breeding.

She spoke about the different registering bodies and I cannot comment on that but to say the one is considerably cheaper than the KENNEL UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA hence the reason for its existence.  I will not change, first joined Kusa as a member some thirty years ago.  As with most things some breeders and dog owners have had complaints about KUSA but then someone always complains about something or another, so quite normal. Kusa introduced the ruling that all breeding dogs and their progeny needed to be micro chipped, all our own  pups and dogs have been chipped, for a good many years, long before this became a ruling with KUSA.  We were first introduced to the Micro Chip some 18 odd years ago, at the time we were in the show ring.

This lady enquired about breeding.  Most people have never ever thought about what breeding actually entails.  I am not saying that every single person out there is not allowed to breed what they buy, far from it, but they should be doing their homework – research etc. 

Last week a Lady called me referred to me by my vet (quite surprised at that) for stud work. Her pet dog was on heat??? I asked her if she had researched the current market ? –NO.  What was her aim in mating her dog, to have pups and sell them.  Sell them to who?????

Here is where I have another serious problem with the majority of people breeding their pet dogs.  If you have the time and the resources, go to the local free classifieds and call up those numbers of people selling yorkie pups.  Simple enough project, HOW many of those people enquire from you, your purpose in wanting a YORKIE.? More than likely NONE of them. Why? because they breed these pups, all they want out of the exercise is to get shot of them, who buys them is not of any concern to the majority of them,  all they want to do is see the back of them of course after making a profit from them. 

We have been involved with rescue for some 30 years now.  I started actually doing it in my late teens.  I get contacted almost daily, people saying they want a yorkie pup 6 – 8 weeks of age, they are quite happy to pay the R500-00 adoption fee???????????????  Who in their right mind would breed pups to sell them for R500-00 or to GIVE them to a rescue operation. The vet fees, checkups, deworming, inoculation etc exceeds that amount to start with.  I also get people saying, we do not believe in buying we want to adopt, that is our motto, give a poor yorkie pup a home????? Let’s be honest here. I can understand the logic and it is very nice for people to offer homes to unfortunate pups, but my experience with yorkies or yorkie pups looking for homes, they come with a price tag. It is not a case of I have a pup I bought does not suit my lifestyle, this happens, here it is, adopt it out.  It is a case of I have this pup, can you buy it from me and adopt it out. I paid R5 000-00 if you can give me R4 000-00 and adopt it out I will be happy with that.???????????? The dog needs to be sterilised as we will not pass on ANY unsterilized animal. We are private rescue so no donations, it comes out of our own pocket.  So we must pay out to the tune of R5 000-00 the additional R1 000-00 if we are fortunate to cover sterilisation, deworming and inoculations, micro chipping. Actually change that R1 000-00 to more like R1 500-00.  I will then get someone saying I will give you R500-00 to adopt the dog.  ????? NOT going to be happening.

You do get breeders out there that are both ethical and professional and will ask you, your life history before allowing you the opportunity of purchasing one of their pups. Be thankful that you have landed in this position with a breeder who actually CARES.

We at MIJOY insist our pups are sterilised we do not sell to BREEDERS we do not do stud work.  It is not that we consider all breeders not suitable owners, not at all. Our concern is our pup IF sold to a breeder, has pups, where do those pups end up???? In yet another breeders hands.?????  Not the end of the world however, what happens to those breeding dogs when they are too old to produce any longer.  I am aware that some are put down. Some are sterilised and passed on to new homes where they will become pets.  Does a kennel raised pup/dog that has been kennelled all its breeding life just all of a sudden become the ultimate pet, when it has been confined all its life????  In a cage???? We did have a breeding kennel sent to us via our rescue. All dogs barring a real elderly fellow (12 years of age) had price tags attached to them.  Another story for another day, one word for this experience BAD NEWS.  We were told they were house breeding dogs, but their behaviour told a totally different story.  We do not kennel our dogs. Here again I am not judging anyone who does, in a lot of cases and with a lot of breeds it needs to be done.

Recently I have been asked to join a Breed Club.  I rather shy away from Clubs these days. Over a good many years I have been on Committees of various clubs, cat clubs, dog clubs etc.  Show committees etc. Always found it an enjoyable experience. However, one has to be cautious in this day and age.  You get slandered by folk with zippo knowledge on any dog, let alone any particular breed. I must applaud some of the breeders out there trying to make a difference, I wish them the very best.

A club is there to assist, to educate where and if necessary. To share knowledge.  It is definitely not there to rule with an iron fist, threaten members, bend the rules to suit themselves. I have made enquiries from clubs over a good few months, this is what my research has resulted in.

NO club can advise you what price you should be charging for your pups.

NO club can dictate to you what you can and cannot do with your own dogs.

No club has the right to dictate what dog you can or cannot breed with. If you have limited knowledge by all means enquire from a breeder of repute possibly in the club of your choice, possibly even a judge.  If you are looking to breed quality is a must, it is in your interests that your dogs are quality to begin with. If you lack knowledge find out from a reputable source.

We all had to crawl before we walked, walked before we could ran. NO different in breeding, you will NEVER know it all, irrespective how long you have been at it.

If anyone intends breeding any animal out there. Do your homework.  IF done properly breeding is not a cheap exercise.  I get asked often, I want a dog for a pet, no breeding, no showing, does not need papers???????????? Would I want to breed such a specimen.  Why on earth would I go out of my way to breed inferior dogs to sell them to people who want the breed of dog but not prepared to pay the price tag attached.

Ethical breeders go that extra mile to ensure the pup you purchase is first and foremost healthy, checked out thoroughly by a vet, given the necessary care from birth till sold to a responsible owner.  IT costs money if done the right way. No breeder makes money out of breeding if they do not cut corners.  If you are looking to purchase a pup of a specific breed, be careful who you chose to purchase from. Some unfortunate folk have gone from the frying pan into the fire.  Cheapies in the end, are the dogs that cost you a small fortune in vet bills.

As always, thank you for your time. Be assured WE SELL ALL OUR PUPS WITH HEALTH GUARANTEES.  ALL ARE KUSA REGISTERED AND IDENTIPET MICRO CHIPPED. ALL ARE SOLD WITH A SALES CONTRACT.


 

WHY do I point out to the public about doing research prior to breeding their pet yorkies???

Simply because the market at this point and for quite some time now is flooded with yorkie pups for sale.

It does not affect us personally as breeders, as we have been around for many years and are well known for breeding, HEALTHY, REGISTERED, MICRO CHIPPED, INOCULATED, DEWORMED, CONTRACT INCLUDED, HEALTH GUARANTEED PUPS.

Religiously we get contacted when it is holiday time approaching, we are offered litters of yorkie pups at reduced prices “IF” we buy them all or can sell them to our buyers?????

Would we do such a thing ? NO – we have no idea how those pups are raised, what lineage they are from. What their health conditions are like.......... People who decide to breed their PETS must take the responsibility that goes with “BREEDING” and ensure those pups are placed with the best homes possible.  Sometimes long before the last pup has been sold, the NOVELTY of having pups has worn off and all the hard work that goes with it. VERY often the parent dogs are then put up for sale, to RISK being landed in the hands of yet another wannabe dog breeder.

If you want to start breeding any breed of dog, do your homework first, research as much as possible on the breed. Purchase from a reliable source that will guarantee the dogs they are selling you. You do not want to BURN your fingers by buying from the wrong BREEDERS as have so many people before you. Quality Yorkshire terriers do not come cheap.

Your aim to become a breeder is to buy the best foundation stock to start your breeding program.

****Be extremely cautious of Breeders selling pups without a contract of sale, without health guarantees, as this is a quick buck to most of them.  If or when a problem arises, they are very quick to come with really LAME excuses and IGNORE one after a period of time.  You have been warned.

 

REMEMBER IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES - THE BREEDER OR OWNER OF THE PUPS YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN - HAS ONE THING ON THEIR MIND - TO SELL THEIR PUPS - IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO WANTS THE PUP AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE.  Breeders who breed pups by the dozen land in this sort of situation - the very reason we do not breed our dogs in quantity but opt for QUALITY.

THE  BIEWER  TERRIER

In my lifetime, whatever I undertake to do, I do to the very best of my ability.  BIEWER TERRIER breeding was going to be NO different........

I was introduced to this charming breed in 2008 and encouraged to become involved.  I was green with regards to this breed, had no idea what a biewer was supposed to be like etc. Over the many months I have studied the breed and found that most of the requirements of a good quality biewer are similar of that to a good quality Yorkshire terrier.  Solid build, good stocky conformation, compact dog, shorter legs preferred. I have noticed that most of the pups ears being pricked from the start, NO need for taping.

We did our best to purchase what we were told at the time would be a good foundation to start with.  Well this did not really work out too well and I realised that I was actually wasting my time.  The reason we resorted to importing Biewers.

With all the advertising over the months, we have had numerous enquiries and most recently, people contacting us asking if we find our BIEWERS to be aloof, not lap dogs. WELL I was amazed that the PUBLIC were finding this as our own biewers are anything but aloof and standoffish, in actual fact we cannot get moving for them. They are first on the bed, first on the couch, at our feet at every turn, a superb well balanced family dog.

We are YORKSHIRE TERRIER breeders and it came to my notice a while back, yorkie pups being sold for ridiculously low prices.  Why on earth breed if you have to resort to giving your dogs away, as a result of your prices being so low, but why are they so low?????????????    I for one would not consider breeding anything that I had to sell for next to nothing as there has to be a reason behind this, why are these pups going at such a low price.  Are they registered with KUSA???? Are they registrable???? Are they chipped are they sold with a pedigree and registration papers, do they carry health guarantees??????

ALL pure bred Yorkshire terriers are registrable, if they do not have papers why not???????????????????????

For as long as I can remember dealing with KUSA they have advised that if you are buying a pedigreed dog, to insist on a Contract of Sale that protects not only the buyer, but the breeder as well.

The GENUINE BIEWER TERRIER is an expensive dog.  Those breeders who have imported these dogs and bred them correctly and ethically will charge a fairly high price for their pups and rightfully so.

It is reported that certain imports were not up to standard and certain breeders introduced the YORKSHIRE terrier into their breeding program in an attempt to improve the standard and quality of their dogs in their breeding programs.  These dogs are not pure bred biewer terriers and in turn it will be questionable whether they will be accepted with KUSA for registration.

If you breed or own a delightful biewer or more, make enquiries with KUSA if your pup/dog/dogs will qualify for registering with this authority.

A copy of your pedigree will be required by the authorities.

 

Thank you for your time, thank you for your enquiries, as always we will tell it like it is, keep the public informed.  Every good wish to you all.

 

 

 


  Our BIEWER TERRIERS are inclined to be on the “SMALLER” side..........................

KUSA HAVE ACCEPTED THE BREED STANDARD for the BIEWER TERRIER....


BIEWER  TERRIERS  more information........  January 2012

The Biewer Terrier is a superb little family dog.  It is not meant to be anywhere near the size of a standard yorkie for comparison sake.  This breed  has NOTHING  at all to do with a YORKSHIRE TERRIER, it is a new breed – entirely on its own.

If you are on the market for such a pup, you will be paying a good amount of money for the pup, if it is coming from a breeder who has imported their stock or bred from quality, pure bred imported stock.  If the asking price is considerably cheaper, stay clear.  There obviously is a very good reason for the dog being that much cheaper.

The coat of the biewer should be straight, very silky, smooth and soft to the touch.  Our one imported boy, has had a floor length coat prior to reaching a year of age.

We folk that have imported quality foundation stock or imported quality dogs to join existing quality dogs, will be offering quality pups to the public., they will not be cheap.

This breed is available in the smaller sizes as well, overseas they are available anything from the equivalent of our 1kg dogs in SA.  OBVIOUSLY at the smaller sizes they would never be considered to be in any breeding program.  We look forward to having pups born in those smaller sizes.......


 

DNA......

In recent years we have all been exposed to this rather glamorous word DNA – “our dogs are DNA tested....”   sounds rather exotic.

I think in general people are impressed to hear the pup they are looking at purchasing has a DNA profile.

Is it glamorous or exotic, does it make the breeder or owner that much more important to be able to refer to their dogs as being DNA tested?

Well the Biewer Terrier for eg.  Needs to be DNA tested if the dog is going to be bred from.  In fact would it not be a far better idea to have ALL BIEWER TERRIERS  and their offspring,  DNA tested, to ensure who their biological parents are????? Maybe this should be a prerequisite of breeding with new breeds of dogs.

One thing to have it on a piece of paper – registration papers or possibly NO DNA and  NO PAPERS AT ALL????????????  One has to wonder about that.

I had a most unpleasant experience myself in 2008. I was offered a pup that carried a DNA profile.  I have mail even stating the date on which this was carried out. I received the paperwork as well, registration papers –pedigree.  I must say I was impressed and excited.   Short lived unfortunately,  when months down the line this Breeder suggested the dog have her DNA done.  Speechless, I think is a good word to describe my feelings on the subject.

It turned out that this dog had NEVER had her DNA done although I was even given the date it was done on???????????????  Her registration papers stated the sire to be a totally different dog to what her dna suggested.  Instead of the breeder being apologetic and accommodating, I met with a very arrogant, aggressive attitude. Almost as if I were to blame for this disaster of a situation.  Surely if one’s dogs can be covered by multiple males, it is in that breeders interests to do the DNA on that pup and all pups for that matter,  to ensure the dog carries the correct pedigree.

I think DNA is not that glamorous a word unless it is in the hands of an ETHICAL BREEDER.  Any dog can carry a DNA profile, even the biggest MUTT on the planet.

 

Thank you for your time.


We will have info in the next week or two on laboratories in South Africa who do DNA testing.  Possibly you would like that FANCY breed pup of yours to have its own DNA profile.

Keep watching for that info......

 

 

 

In time to come we will discuss how  a 100% pure bred biewer terrier comes about, as well as the Mars testing .....

Sterilisation of that ultra TINY pup/dog.

I hear it repeatedly from the public, they are nervous about sterilising their really small dogs.

WHY?  Certain risks are carried when going under anaesthetic for everyone, human and canine, feline, feathered friends.

If people are concerned because of the size of the dog, then all small humans should not be subjected to anaesthetic as they are SMALL? Does this make sense?

Provided your vet has a fair amount of knowledge with small sized dogs, there should be no problem – however if your vet feels insecure operating on a real tiny, find a vet who is not.  A good few of my real tinies come back to my own vet for sterilisation.

I have to admire the Vets concerned who tell their clients, the tinies Owners,  that they would far rather the breeders vet sterilise such a tiny. I have to thank these VETS for their honesty.

I recently –( last week in fact late September 2011) sterilised one of my tiniest teacup girls. She is 15 months of age and weighs 743gms.  We did not have a problem at all.  She ate that morning as suggested by my vet.  I took her in twenty minutes prior to the scheduled time of her surgery (I have to thank my own vet for bending the rules for me)  She had her op and when she was coming out of the anaesthetic my vet returned her to me and I sat in the waiting room with my girl until my vet gave me the OK to leave.  No fuss, no drama.

All our pups irrespective of their size must be sterilised between 6 – 8 months of age. This is the terms and conditions under which we sell our pups.  I kept mine till she was older, purely and simply because she was an incredibly tiny pup weighing 100 and something at 6 weeks of age. She has not had one day’s illness in her life. My vet at the time told me not to let her go – she would not survive in the publics hands.

It is important that if you have a real TINY, you find a competent vet to do the surgery.   Consider yourself blessed if you have a vet who is prepared to tell you he/she would be happier if the breeders vet did the sterilisation.

IF you DO NOT sterilise your tinies.  IN years to come you may just end up with an emergency op. Unsterilised females are always at risk of developing pyametra an infection of the womb, which left untreated will result in your dog dying.  I would far rather sterilise at a young age, than end up with having to do an anaesthetic on an older dog and one with a raging infection.  Females “could” develop pyametra after a heat, at any age and at any time in their lives if unsterilised – you will see this by puss coming out of the vulva.  Your dog unfortunately may also develop a closed pyametra.  You would have to be quick in this instance, because there would be no  obvious external signs of a discharge.  If you did not pick up your dog was off colour, you more than likely will find a dead dog.

BE SENSIBLE AND STERILISE.........

If you are not receiving your monthly newsletters or have changed your email address please drop us a line.

What  you need to know about the fascinating  GENUINE TEACUP pup.

This site is packed full of interesting information on the smaller sized yorkie.  Take time to read and take in all the info on this site.  We “R” teacup yorkies. We own them – we produce them – they are the real thing. They are healthy, all our pups irrespective of their size all carry HEALTH GUARANTEES...

NO TEACUP is used in our breeding program and never has been and never will be.  Weigh up what you read by all those who claim to be in the know. 

A couple of things to consider when thinking of purchasing a genuine teacup pup!!!!!!!!!!

·       Do you have the correct lifestyle to own and rear such a TINY?

·       Do not buy a tiny if you want it as a fashion statement or to brag with.

·       It is not suited to any child or student

·       One thing to remember a genuine TEACUP pup is a rare pup and therefore NEVER available in any quantity at anytime.

·       We NEVER have teacup pups available, we have a waiting list.

·       The genuine TEACUP is suited to very few people 

 

How safe are you in buying a TINY?????  As safe as you can be with the breeder of your choice.   It is not only the TINY yorkies that can have issues health wise, try all sizes of yorkies.  Here again, choose a breeder who is more than happy to guarantee the pups they breed. Do not fall for a sales pitch and be very concerned with breeders who have so much to say about other breeders – normally that little green monster hanging around again and some sadly are just bent out of shape, sad but true  – as they say if you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen– we are proud of what we breed and what we stand for.  Thank you to our loyal dog owners, for your unwavering faith and trust in us.






The  GENUINE TEACUP is suited to very few people. MIJOY will NEVER sell any tiny we feel is not going to a suitable home and the right owner.

We reserve the right to sell to approved homes only

FEAR  of DOGS....  No laughing matter

A couple of weeks ago I went to collect my Granddaughters from crčche. I went to fetch the toddler who was in a class of about 15 other children.  The kiddies were outside, had been playing but were now on the patio being offered refreshments.

Out of the blue this little guy started screaming, we had no idea what it was about, but to look at him, he was really spooked. The one Caregiver picked him up, thinking that would pacify him, but nothing seemed to be working to calm this child.  I could not work out why the screaming was directed at me, only once I realised what he was looking at, did I realise what the screaming was about.  I had two teacup yorkies in a carrier bag. Not that easily detectable to most.  This little child of maybe a year or so, had noticed the dogs.  The screech of total fear deafened the place. Two assistants started laughing and making light of the situation.

I could not help myself – I told them this was actually no laughing matter. Such a small child, to have such a fear of such tiny dogs especially dogs contained in a carrier, not even out of the carrier, really bad news.

I also have been in the Company of an adult petrified of dogs. It is a sad thing to see. The person actually freezes at the sight of a dog and ends up leaving. Again the size of the dog is immaterial, just the sight of a dog triggers the fear reaction...

This person in particular, I have witnessed on many an occasion trying her best to overcome her fear, but just gets more and more panicked. 

Don’t let your child become a victim of fearing dogs.

The worst of it, dogs will pick up on a person/child having a fear of them and they in turn seem to be more drawn to that particular person/child.

 

Anyone suffered with this and overcome it???? Please drop us a line.









 


  

Did you know????

Dogs are more likely to bite in the summer. Like us, dogs get irritable when they’re overheating – especially if children playing outside prevent them from relaxing in the garden! Small children are especially at risk because they aren’t so quick to recognise the danger. So avoid petting strange dogs and be more aware of the temperaments of your own canine friends as

STATEMENT  REGARDING THE PRODUCING OF AND TINY YORKIES IN GENERAL....  28 July 2011

 

We have been actively involved with the Yorkshire terrier breed since the late 1970’s when I owned my first yorkie and my first tiny yorkie that was 1kg fully grown.  This particular yorkie was never used in my breeding program.  Over the years I bred minimal yorkies as at that time I was very involved with showing and breeding Persian cats.  Down the line some years I gave up breeding Persians after a very successful breeding career and in some cases my cats making history in SA.

I then went into breeding my yorkies in numbers and initially produced the miniature yorkie which is the 2.5 -3.5kg adult weight dog.  We do not believe in turning out puppies by the dozen.  Never have and never will.  We also do not approve of tiny dogs in any breeding program. NO TEACUP DOG OF OURS HAS EVER BEEN IN ANY BREEDING PROGRAM.  Teacups are most certainly useless for breeding purposes. I as a yorkie fanatic, am crazy about tiny dogs, but have NEVER gone out of my way to produce small sized yorkies. It is just something that started happening.  If a particularly tiny dog was born in a litter, we may have kept that tiny dog as I said I am passionate about these tinies, but those tinies would not be bred from.  I would possibly however keep a litter mate from that breeding and use that particular dog in my program.  In time that dog may have or not necessarily would have produced tinies.  We are TOTALLY against interbreeding of any kind. 

It is a well known fact that there are breeders out there who repeatedly interbreed to try and achieve smaller and smaller dogs being born. I totally disagree with this form of breeding, all that is being achieved is sickly, unhealthy small dogs being born. Dogs that in time to come if not having died at a very early age, will in later years result in their owners spending a fortune in vet bills.

Roughly two months back I was contacted by a breeder in Greece asking for my recipe.  When I told him there was NO recipe I was told I am just plain greedy hogging the market.    

I had a Lady breeder contact me yesterday asking how she can go about breeding teacups and pocket size dogs.   Again I had to tell her there is no recipe. 

I just had a phone call from a Lady asking about my teacups – which is why I am writing this article.

I told her we have yorkies from 600gms as adults.  She then commented about the size of the dog being a bit too small? Or something to that effect.  If people have a problem with my having bred a 600gm dog from parents of 3kg and 2.5kg, then they must take it up with GOD.  I never put this dog on this earth and I have to say that this particular little chap has never been used in any breeding program, we have used his litter brother who is easily 1.8kg in weight.  This little chap has had an upset stomach once in his life and he is 7.5 years of age. SO PERFECTLY HEALTHY

We have some extremely tiny dogs that we are thrilled and honoured to call our own.  I have a very tiny little girl that turned a year at the beginning of this month, she is 100% healthy. 

One thing worth mentioning, breeders wanting to produce or desperately trying to produce those tinies need to be prepared for total commitment in raising those babies.  The Mothers in most cases have other pups in the litter that are considerably bigger than the tiny and in a lot of cases the breeder has to step in and monitor that tiny very closely, giving supplement feeding remembering, that MOTHER is best at all times. I do not believe in taking away babies and hand rearing. It is the last thing that should be done.  If of course there is a very tiny pup in amongst a lot bigger siblings, one has to watch that pup, 24/7  This means getting up every couple of hours in the night supplement feeding, checking the baby is still 100% fine. If one takes away these babies from their own mother, the pup has to be kept warm,  not too hot, not too cold, and it has to be fed 2 hourly. The tinier the pup the more frequent the feeding. There will come a time when that pup for its own safety will not be able to stay with its litter mates, they will be too big and too rough for that tiny.  The baby then moves down to a younger litter, but here again cannot be with too young a litter, so it is then the responsibility of the breeder to ensure, the pup gets loads of love and attention, kept entertained, till it is old enough which is anything from 10 weeks plus to move onto its new home. Bottom line, if you produce tinies in your litters, it is total dedication on the breeders part to rear them.

We get told periodically that the tiniest dog is a runt. I do believe runts do have a place in yorkie litters. BUT a runt is a sickly, undernourished, baby that has health issues. If the pup at hand, is 100% healthy, thriving etc it can hardly be called a runt, and if three tinies are born in one litter, are they all runts of the litter?  I am sure there is only one runt in any litter????

As always – if you as a member of the public desire to own a tiny yorkie, please remember a few pointers:

The person breeding those tiny dogs, has put in more than the usual effort to rear them.  Years back I was told by a breeder they should be left to die. Well in that case, I wonder if said breeder had to have a premature human baby if that should also be left to die. Same logic to me.  If there is something seriously wrong with any pup, no matter how good the breeder is at rearing them they will not be successful in keeping that pup alive for any period of time. We would never pass on a pup that we thought for one moment had any health problem – sadly some breeders do - the reason so often these tinies are sold to the public only to end up at the vet shortly after purchase and only to die within a week or two or within a year of purchase.  If you buy a pup and have ANY concerns have your vet check it out immediately.

I heard from a member of the public that they bought a tiny and lost it only to be told by their breeder of choice, that it is a known fact all tinies are sickly.  In that case, why on earth is she selling her tinies if she KNOWS they are sickly? She should not be breeding with the parents either, if she knows they produce sickly pups.

Do your homework – are you suited to own such a tiny? 

I get upset owners, contacting me, people emotionally destroyed by having taken on a tiny only to have lost it.  Although my own children were brought up with tiny dogs, they were under constant supervision.  If you want that tiny and you have kiddies, you and only you are going to know if that pup will be safe in your home with your children.  If you cannot guarantee that, you should not be looking at the smaller sized yorkie at all, because of all the possible risks to the tinier sized dog, eg falling off the bed, being dropped, being stood on, getting through fences etc. The reason we go OVERBOARD with information and are extremely fussy who our tinies go to.  It is not that we have anything personal against the future owner or purchaser of these tiny dogs.  It is simple, not everyone wants to be tied down having to take their puppy or tiny dog into consideration with their day to day lifestyle and every minute of it. We have refused sales to people we do not believe have the right lifestyle for these sized pups and dogs. We do get threatened Carte Blanche etc,  but I would rather be badmouthed or threatened because I was doing my utmost to ensure my pup landed in the right home, than willy nilly sell a tiny to just anyone.

The bottom line to owning and successfully owning a genuine tiny dog, is simple.  ONLY purchase a tiny if you are available 24/7, 365 days of the year. Buy from a reputable source, ask for health guarantees on the pup concerned. IF the breeder is not happy with offering health guarantees, ask yourself why?

I have been caught out once too often buying pups for breeding purposes that have been sold to me with health issues, by above average breeders. Sadly when the pup has died long before it has reached a year of age. Pathology results confirming diseases causing the death – the breeder does not back their dogs they sell and does not guarantee their breeding.  Again you can ask yourself why?  I personally do not believe ANY breeder has the right to sell a pup for good money and the person having bought it lose the pup because of serious health issues within the first year of that pups life.  A person buys a pup presuming that pup will live a long and healthy life for years and years to come.

We will at all times be there for the PUBLIC to assist to educate and to be of any help we can be, regarding the YORKIE breed.

Best of luck and thank you for your time.

HELPING YOU – HELPING YOUR PET


 

Fireworks nowadays are not just confined to a bonfire nights; they feature at all kinds of events eg. Guy Falkes, New Years

Parties etc. Unfortunately, enjoyed by people, they frighten many animals.

If you're worried about your pet's reaction to fireworks you should ask your vet for advice.

The earlier you do this the better the outcome.

How to help

ECO-FEAR: Available at your nearest Vet or Dis-Chem.  Helps against:

• Anxiety

• Fear of loud noises eg Fireworks, Thunder

• Fear of showing

• Fear of travel and travel sickness

• Hyperactivity, Nervousness

• Stress – tension

Muffle the sounds of the fireworks by closing windows and curtains. Put on some music or the TV.

Keep them inside. Take dogs out for toilet purposes before dark and close cat flaps. A firework going off while they are outside

could lead to a fear of going out

Do not fuss over or try to reassure them when they are frightened. If they rely on you for comfort during frightening events, they

will be less able to cope when you are out which might increase the problem in the long term

Stay calm. Your pet can sense if you are worried which can increase their stress. Let them hide. After the fireworks have

finished you can make a fuss over them as they emerge.

Don't get angry. The behaviour may be annoying but they are scared and getting cross will worsen things. Don't try to remove

your pet from their hiding place, this could lead to aggression.

Talk to your Vet. They can advise short term measures which may include medication if your pet is very distressed. This can

help prevent the fear getting worse. Your vet can also advise a longer term preventative approach. What to do in the long term

Fear of fireworks doesn't get better on it's own, it is likely to get worse over time and lead to other behavioural problems.

Behaviour therapy (including noise desensitisation) is generally very successful at changing the response to fireworks and other

loud noises. The earlier you seek help the better the outcome is likely to be.

THE YORKIE BREED IS KNOWN FOR FLUXATING PATELLAS DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH ARTHRITIS 
 CHECK WITH YOUR OWN VET FOR THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS.

One of the most common medical issues dogs develop as they age is Arthritis.

Arthritis in dogs can lead to pain that requires medication or, in more severe cases, surgery.

That's why it's so important to know if your dog is at risk and to take preventative measures.

Not all dogs have the same level of risk. Large dogs are more likely to develop arthritis, as are overweight dogs, agility dogs, working dogs or sporting dogs.

Even if you know your dog is at risk, it can sometimes be easy to overlook symptoms of arthritis.

Watch for signs. Dogs that are experiencing joint pain can begin to

  • limp,
  • become sensitive to human contact,
  • exhibit difficulty in walking, running, jumping,
  • lagging during walks
  • getting up slowly after lying down
  • difficulty in squatting to eliminate

If your dog shows any of these signs, get him to a veterinarian - the sooner the better.

To help reduce the risk of arthritis, make sure your dog gets enough exercise and eats right.  A proper weight and healthy diet can make a significant difference in your pets health and arthritic risk.

Even if you find out that your dog does have arthritis, don't feel that medicine and surgery are the only options.

Veterinarians recommend Sashas Blend.

When you switch to Sashas Blend, you can begin to see changes in your dog within 1 week.

Because Sashas Blend is scientifically formulated and has full safety and efficacy studies taken, we guarantee it will do everything we say it can do.

Sashas Blend is the ONLY product that addresses the 4 key needs of:

  • Chondroprotection
  • Pain
  • Inflammation
  • and the provision of essential building blocks for healthy cartilage and joints

You can be CONFIDENT because

  • it works
  • it's safe
  • its cost effective and
  • it is a registered medicine.

Dogs feel pain just like humans do.  Don't put your dog through pain or surgery - watch out for signs of arthritis and visit your veterinarian if you suspect that your dog is showing symptoms.

Ask your vet for the best treatment for your dog - ask for Sashas Blend.

  TRUE OR FALSE?????

I received a call from a member of the public on Tuesday about her pup she was getting, she had no idea what size it would end up, but she had been told that at 4 weeks of age - double that weight and that was the dogs adult weight???????

FALSE – TOTALLY RIDICULOUS


Another question from the public :

If they are told the Mother of the pup weighs X and the father weighs Y. Does this mean the pup will fall within this weight bracket when adult???

FALSE….  The pup could end up weighing far in excess of the parent dogs.

 

TRUE  OR  FALSE ?????

The tinier the dog the less it eats! FALSE

The tinier dog pro rata to the larger sized dog, eats far in excess. The really tiny dogs, start eating from around 18 days of age, and eats up to 8 meals a day. We feed our really small pups though out the night. Another reason they have to get the right owner.

 

Those very tiny dogs are bred from tiny adult dogs.  FALSE

Our really tiny dogs are bred from normal breeding sized females. Our current ultra tiny is from a mother of about 3kg in weight.

 

That very tiny dog is sickly and will not live a long life. FALSE

That very tiny dog will live every bit as long a life as any other yorkie PROVIDED it has the right owner, has been bred CORRECTLY.

  Our pups ALL carry health guarantees.

 

What would happen if I were to purchase a very tiny pup and it were to be diagnosed with a serious health defect?

No true or false here. If a pup of ours were to be diagnosed with a life threatening  disease - GOD FORBID  we would be prepared to replace the pup

 free of charge. We have faith in what we breed and do our utmost to pass on healthy pups.

We all want our precious pets to have optimal health throughout their lives.  One contributing factor to achieving this is their DENTAL HYGIENE Most pets suffer at some or other stage with gum disease, smelly breath, tooth loss, and tooth decay.  The only way to sort these problems is to have your DOGS/CATS teeth scaled and polished at your vet.  The animal concerned will need an anaesthetic for the procedure. This is done on a good few occasions during the pet’s life.  Problems with your PETS dental health can in time cause other problems to your pets overall well being.  TIME to make a change……..

 >> Insect/Tick Repellent Spray

This spray is made with essential oils which does make it a bit expensive initially as good quality essential oils are not cheap. Since you only use a few drops of most of the oils your initial purchase will last a long time. Or share it with your neighbours. In all probability, if you are battling with these problems they are too. Do not use adulterated pot-pourri oils for this recipe.

The recipe is not cast in stone. If you cannot get one of the oils simply omit it. In the absence of the tinctures I've often made it with 2 tablespoons of vodka and it seemed to work just as well. You can get bay rum at a barber shop.
If your pet is pregnant, omit the basil oil. Also remember that cats often do not tolerate essential oils.

The rose geranium will help repel ticks, citronella repels mosquitoes, basil and black walnut repels flies and fleas and rosemary, like lavender and clove, is an all-purpose insect repellent.

20 drops rose geranium oil
3 drops citronella oil
3 drops of rosemary or lavender oil
3 drops clove oil
3 drops basil oil
1 tbsp bay rum or bay tincture (alcohol base)
1 tbsp black walnut tincture (alcohol base)

Mix together, and then add to 1 cup water, aloe vera gel or a combination of water and aloe vera.

We at MIJOY are Cesar Millan FANS - the Dog Whisperer

He is truly gifted working with "Mans best friend".. 


On the topic of Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer, on Bid or Buy they are selling the DVD's. I have heard a lot about him.So if anyone else contacts you wanting to know where they can buy the DVD's then you can tell them to look at Bid or Buy. Jump.co.za also sell the DVD's,  http://www.jump.co.za/search/dog+whisperer+cesar+millan+dvd/  You can also watch a lot of the full episodes online, but the problem is they take ages & ages to down load, so it probably works out cheaper in the end to just buy the DVD's. Unless you have a super fast internet connection, then it might be worthwhile to watch them online? 

Thanks Melanie for this info - much appreciated

Thought you'd find this interesting. 
Talk about animal intelligence and bonding
with humans!

Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and that they depend on you to make their life a quality life! 

PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS:

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation
from you is likely to be painful.
 

2. Give me time to understand what you want of
me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my
well-being.
 

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends,
your entertainment, but I have only you.
 

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me. 

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it. 


7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you. 


8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have
been in the sun too long, or my heart might be
getting old or weak.
 

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old. 


10 On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please.
Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me
face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.


~Take a moment today to thank GOD for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would
be a much duller, less joyful experience without
God's critters.

  It means the WORLD to us  to know our pups and dogs, have the most wonderful owners, thank you ALL for the pics you continuously forward to us and 

THANK YOU to the owners for their continued friendship over the years



A lot of our pics have children in them.  At no time are children left unattended with our pups or adult dogs.  We do not believe any TINY is suited to a child.

                                            

IMPORTANT  INFORMATION – IF YOU RESIDE IN DURBAN  keep your animals vet booklets up to date and in your vehicle when traveling with your pet/s.  Seemingly you can be stopped and asked to produce those booklets.  This information has come to me from Belinda in Durban.  We have a few Yorkies in Durbs, please folk, keep those books with you and up to date.

Thanks to Belinda for giving us this information - Animal lovers UNITE




WHEN SIZE IS IMPORTANT

PLEASE READ BELOW


Orders for those real tinies, TEACUP OR SMALL POCKETis this size suited to you?

I have a good few orders for really tiny dogs.  I would like to draw attention to those waiting for these real tinies.  Some of you actually are not aware just how tiny these dogs actually are.  In most cases our medium or large sized pocket would be more suited to your lifestyle, not to mention considerably cheaper as well. Around 15 years ago we had real tinies and their owners could not cope with them. The reason we now go possibly overboard to ensure the tiny ends up with the right owner.

 VERY few people are actually suited to such small dogs.  A fair amount of folk see this dog in their mind very tiny and petite, a scrap of a dog in size.  Some see this dog as a fashion statement or something to brag with. IN 99% of cases these dogs are no walk in the  park. They are pretty hands on and we have NEVER ever made out to our clients or prospective clients that they are an easy dog to care for or raise.  We try and talk most people out of buying these very tiny tinies. We do however have some owners that have owned our very small dogs for many, many years without any problems at all.  One of our excellent yorkie owners, who have had our tinies for a good many years, always closed their yorkies in the bedroom when visitors came around.  One unfortunate day they had guests and then they realised a child was missing. The Husband went to check up to find the child in their bedroom, the door had been closed, the child had opened it and was standing with one of their tiny dogs in his hand, he got a fright and dropped the dog which died instantly.

ANY small sized yorkie that is dropped or falls off of a bed, risks dying instantly.  In a lot of cases they will stop breathing and have to be resuscitated (if their neck is not broken or internal injuries sustained). There is no time to get that dog to the vet in most cases.  We have not had a tragedy happen in many years barring the most recent one and would far rather ask you that have orders with us, to  think your order through carefully and make the right decision. We would far rather not sell a dog that is destined to die because it is being bought for the wrong reason or lands up in the wrong hands.

ANYONE with young children should not be going the route of buying a tiny from us. We have heard it all, Mommy cannot have any more children but longs for a baby. 

 

Once again, here are the determining factors – are you a suitable candidate for that mouse sized dog?

1.    If you have young children or any children for that matter that do not know how to respect animals.

2.    Children can trip and fall or step on a real tiny. Children play and a tiny could be injured quite easily.

3.    People planning on starting a family down the road. What happens to the dog when BABY arrives? So often the dog is ditched. Ask us in our      Rescue, happened time and time again over the years.

4.    Properties incorrectly fenced. The pup/dog can just walk through the rain holes in the walls. Has happened and the dog has been stolen before  the owner could get the keys to open the gate.

5.      IT has also happened and there has been a lovely BIG woof on the other side of the wall that has chewed up and killed the tiny.

6.      If you have a very busy social life or travel frequently. NOT a good idea for a tiny. Who looks after it firstly and secondly, will they know if and when a problem arises.  Most people owning these real tinies know instinctively when the pup /dog is off colour, will your dogminder or staff member pick up a problem before it is possibly too late?

7.      You do not have much time with a real tiny. If the dog is not eating or has an upset stomach, it needs to see a vet and fast. Not a case of well if it is the same tomorrow we may just “THINK” about seeing the vet. Here we have to ask you to think about this situation. YOU are not sitting with a sickly dog, but a dog that has very limited body mass.  If you as an adult develop gastro you know how it can make you feel, now consider the same thing happening to your teacup or pocket size dog that weighs under or just over a kg. 

8.      We do our very best to supply our yorkie owners healthy bouncing pups irrespective of their size. We guarantee our pups against any life threatening disease. We ask you to be honest with us when placing an order for a tiny.

9.      Our tinies are healthy babies and if cared for very well the owner will have no problems at all, BUT the dog has to be very much a part of its owner’s life. If you work it should be with you at work. If you go out frequently the dog should go out as well. They are not dogs that you can leave for hours on end unattended. They most certainly should not be left at home day after day – if this is what would happen to your dog –PLEASE do not buy it in the first place.

10.  If you holiday frequently and cannot take your dog with you, consider carefully before getting a tiny. Who is going to care for it when you are not there? I do not know of any boarding facilities suited to a real tiny dog.

11.  The tiny is very dependent on its owner and although it will love other members of the family it looks to its owner for security, its total care and wellbeing.

12.  If a tiny cannot be part of its owner’s life, 99% of the time, it is not suited to you.

 

THE TINY – is not a child’s dog – it will not run after kiddies or play ball. It is a real Mommy’s baby and will interact with its owner and possibly to a very little degree with the kids, BUT when I think of children and yorkies, I think of children running outside kicking balls and the dog chasing after them and catching the ball and waiting for them to throw it again. The dog cuddling up and sleeping on the child’s bed.  THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH A TINY.

We have over the years refused to sell some real small dogs to some of our buyers and have pointed out to them our reasons, and they have then decided that we are 100% correct.

We have heard of a drama in the last week, of one of our 1.1kg dogs being ridden over by a car. Very sad for the owners.  Accidents do happen, the very small sized yorkie can be very hard to see when you are in a car and they are outside in the garden. Our sympathies to the persons concerned.

I received a call this weekend from a Lady who is on my waiting list for a real tiny, all I could hear in the background were kiddies screaming. If you are reading this article, please reconsider the size of dog you have ordered from us. If those kiddies in the background are yours, you should not be considering buying a tiny from us, if they are guestŮs children you will have to consider where and how you will keep your TINY safe when kiddies visit.

Three years plus ago I had a gentleman put his name down for a teacup, he wanted real tiny for his wife who had been a vets receptionist, she knew it all.  He contacted me regularly, he was asked all the relevant questions at the time he assured me he had the lifestyle, no all was great according to him. Well his prospective pup duly arrived and he was told she could go at 8 weeks provided I was happy that she would cope. 8 weeks arrived and the pup although perfect was very small, I told him he would have to wait a while longer. He was up in arms, I said nothing would change my mind, it was ultimately my decision, if I felt she was too small to leave he would have to wait till I was happy.  His wife then called me, and out came the story that her daughter would be so disappointed. Daughter, I was told there were NO children. How old was the child I enquired? Silence, after repeating the question three times, the answer came, 2 years of age. You have to be joking. The sale was cancelled immediately.  NO TINY is suited to any child and least of all a 2 year old. I am happy to say the TEACUP remained with us. She is the most divine, real tiny, coat flowing to the ground, such a perfect little lady in temperament, as quiet as a mouse.  I could not imagine her being any child’s pet. I could not imagine her chasing a ball let alone running after a toddler.

I heard recently of another situation whereby a Lady ordered two tinies from me. I knew the person concerned had a small child and told her tinies were not suited to her lifestyle.  I  told her I would sell her small but not tiny. It has since come to my ears that this Lady has mentioned to a friend of hers, that she is surprised her YORKIES survive the way her child handles them???? This is most certainly not what I want to hear. This is a Lady who was adamant her child knew how to respect animals.    

THE TINY is a Ladies dog, please do not lose sight of that.  It is to be pampered, cherished, loved and adored.   I have grandchildren of my own that are still pretty small and have been raised with my yorkies. If they had to ask me for one as a gift I may consider when they are 30 or maybe older.

OUR PUPS and DOGS are of utmost importance to us.  Choosing the right pup and the right owner go hand in hand.  Please make sure you decide what is right for you and your circumstances and not what sounds good or what you can brag with or flaunt as a fashion statement.

 

 

 

 

 

This magnificent cat was left to fend for himself when his owners vacated a townhouse in Rustenburg some years ago.  He became untrusting of humans, but a kind Lady took pity on him and fed him daily. He was very aggressive to other felines. This caring Lady then moved to a retirement village and she had grave concerns for this cats future. She went to great lengths to trap the cat and then brought him to us and he has lived here quite happily for a good few years now.  Get’s on extremely well with both feline and canine.  Thank you for caring and going the extra mile to ensure this magnificent cat had a future home  …………

Animal Behaviourist Katherine Browns latest article appears above.

Katherine is now qualified as a Behaviourist for your FELINES.. ..

 

How many of you have enlisted the help of a Behaviourist?  I did many years back. 

The Behaviourist listed with us Katherine Brown, works on sessions, not per hour.  Most people will benefit with just one session.  Making use of these folks expertise make the problems you may find yourself experiencing better understood, and  in most cases, give you the ways and means to sort the problem out.  I hear so many stories of problematic dogs while waiting in the consulting rooms at my vet. We should all know by now that it is rarely the DOG, but the owner who lacks the understanding of how to handle their dog or pet.  Everyone is up in arms about the cost of training and seeing a Behaviourist. Surely it is worth the expense to sort the problem, than live with a constant situation you have no control over.

Clients in and around the Kensington area (where Katherine resides) will be charged in the region of R320 per session.

Rosebank Clients will be charged in the vicinity of R500-00 to R550-00 per session.

The additional costs charged cover traveling expenses, which is quite acceptable.

If you are experiencing a problem, give Katherine a call. To understand the problem is to solve the problem.

Postage sized gardens for your Yorkies……

Loads of Yorkies are living in townhouse complexes and properties with minimal sized gardens.  Always remember that your dog needs exercise. Exercise plays a huge role in your dogs overall wellbeing.  A dog cooped up in a small environment, can lead to obesity, which in turn can lead to various health issues.  Keep your dog well exercised.  Play with your dog by throwing toys etc. Don’t let your dog become a couch potato.  Pent up energy can and often leads to dogs with behavioural and destructive problems. Take your dog for regular walks. Be aware of stray dogs, while doing so. Make sure you know how to handle a situation you may find yourself in, should a stray dog appear from nowhere. Enlist the help of a trainer or behaviourist should you need further assistance.

MIJOY HAVE BEEN WARNING THE PUBLIC ABOUT SCAMS SINCE 2008

SKY NEWS HEADLINES 2008 SCAMS ***** beware

"uncovered pet scams due to celebrity craze for handbag dogs!"
We are BREEDERS of "handbag dogs."

Available as Pets only subject to certain Criteria.
PIONEERS in the field of the Teacup & Pocket Yorkie.




Don’t be fooled……..

So much to say about the tiny yorkie…………..

 

The SMALL YORKIE is constantly targeted and has been for  years and years. We produce the TINY, HEALTHY, ROBUST, TEACUP AND SMALL POCKET SIZED DOGS,  PERIODICALLY.  We are happy to say we live with a clear conscience, because firstly our PUPS do not die from life threatening health issues, and if this were to happen, God forbid, we would replace that pup FREE of charge. Secondly our pups are correctly bred.

I do agree the smaller the yorkie the more problematic it COULD???? be. However, if that TINY dog is bred as a result of coming off of the lines carried by the parent dogs and has been bred correctly, by that we mean, being produced by the normal sized yorkie breeding female, and the gene for the tiny sized dog is carried in the lines and not produced as a result of being bred from a MOUSE sized dog, excellent chance that that tiny is perfectly healthy.

Health problems can and often do arise, when dogs are used in breeding programs, that are light in weight and far under the normal breeding size female.  Health problems very often occur when dogs are interbred repeatedly in the hope that the pups reduce dramatically in size. An acceptable breeding practice??? HARDLY.

But believe me, any size yorkie can have health problems. I speak from experience with pups that I have purchased for use in my breeding program, that are not the tiny yorkie, that have died with health problems, proof of health disease diagnosed by Laboratory testing – pathology – so please be aware – ALL sized DOGS can have health problems.

As always we will protect the public as much as we possibly can, by stating facts and telling it exactly how it is. We breed to produce the healthy, robust, loving pups, to be owned and adored by Animal Lovers and that is our top priority.

I am often asked what weight are my pups parents, this is of NO importance as my dogs lines carry the genes to produce the odd tiny dog and it is not as a result of us breeding with lightweight undersized females.

 

OUR PUPS ARE ALL SOLID, WELL BUILT BABIES

FURTHERMORE WE GUARANTEE OUR BABIES HEALTH

SAFETY  FIRST

FOR  YOUR  TWO AND  FOUR  LEGGED  CHILDREN

Safety for your family including your four legged family, should be top priority. Pools with nets may prevent drowning of your two legged children, but unfortunately does not prevent drowning of the four legged children, unless they are bigger breed dogs. The small breeds get through those squares unfortunately. We know of two YORKIES that have gone to the RAINBOW Bridge as a result of falling into pools with safety nets.

Pool fencing may protect your children, but most small breed dogs will walk right though those bars. THE SAFETY TURTLE is available for both your children and pets as well as the SAFETY ANGEL.

Don’t let any family member become a victim of drowning.  Pools, water features, koi ponds, etc all can prove fatal to children and pets.  BE WISE, consider the safety devices that are available.

Mini FIRST AID KITS are also available.

Something  to think about……..

Do you really want that puppy, kitten

The importance of teaching your children and grandchildren, the adults of tomorrow, to respect dogs, cats and animals in general.  How much time do you take educating your children or grandchildren about animals?  That they may not be able to speak, but they sure have feelings. They are not something to be tossed outside and left to their own devices. (NO YORKIE is an outside dog – irrespective of its size)They are to be cared for properly, given the food and shelter they deserve.  Given the correct handling, correct vet care, correct feeding, all the love and attention all animals deserve.

However, how you as the Adult react to your animals, or pets, is what your children/grandchildren observe and how they are going to react one day.  You are the ROLE MODEL.

If you are not really an animal lover, but tolerate pets because another family member loves them, how do you react?  Would it not be better to not have any pets in your home, than have pets that are abused or ill treated or just plain IGNORED.

Does this type of thing happen, and does this happen to a YORKIE of all dogs…………….  SADLY  YES….

We have done rescue for many years, we have seen so much neglect, abuse at the hands of “ANIMAL LOVERS”?????

If you are not an animal lover or are one of those that cannot handle being dirty from a happy pup jumping up and down to get your attention – DON’T  GET  THE  FIRST  PET

All animals, pets need attention, all take time to be cared for properly.  The animals with PROBLEMS are those that the human owner has mistreated or not handled correctly or just plain ignored.

The problematic dog can be rehabilitated by the right person in the right hands.  I refer so many people to  Pet Behaviourists or Trainers. SO MANY say we cannot afford to go that route. Well then you have to ask yourself why you bought the pet in the first place.

NO animal, dog or cat asked to be placed in YOUR CARE.  It was YOUR decision.  Make sure if you buy a pet, a dog, a cat, a bird it is for the right reasons.  No child needs to witness the birth of kittens or puppies, OLD WIVES TALE.   NO child should be expected to take the responsibility of owning a pet and taking care of it, doing all the grooming, watering and feeding.   Do you allow your child to make your financial decisions,  what car to buy? Where to holiday etc?  I would imagine you do not.  Then why do you expect your child to take FULL responsibility of any pet or animal, YOU bought?

So often a pet ends up at an animal shelter because JOEY did not look after it – he was told if he did not take good care of it – we would get rid of it.  SOUND familiar????? Please folk NO child can be expected to act as a responsible caregiver, they are children after all. Teenagers and College and Varsity students in this day and age have so much to contend with that they too may not be as responsible as they should or could be. Life in this day and age is hectic. By all means teach children how to become responsible pet owners.  IF you as the parent or grandparent cannot take responsibility of the pet or animal concerned, DO NOT buy it is the first place.

BE a responsible pet owner if that is not possible – Don’t be a pet or animal owner at all.

   

 


Juliet versus ROMEO…..

Choosing the sex of your puppy.  Most people prefer females, they are easier to rear or are they?  The males fight or do they?

A puppy irrespective of sex must be sterilized.  It is far easier and less expensive to neuter a pup than to spay.  In my 30  years involvement with the Breed I have yet to come across a real fighter of a male but female I have found numerous.

Males, people feel lift their legs however, if the pup is neutered at an early age, 4 to six months – can be younger, the male will not lift his leg but squat like a female. The marking territory only comes into play with sexually mature dogs and when females are on heat.  One can keep numerous males together if they are neutered.  A lot of people feel  if you have a male you have to have a female.  Not so…. I as a Breeder of many years have quite a selection of Yorkies.  They are not kenneled.  The boys of which there are a fair number have yet ever to fight ??????  Believe it or not.  But the girls now that is another story.  When I leave home certain girls are separated from the pack or trust me there will be consequences to face on my return home.  Yorkies are known to pack and can kill.

Males have the most sweet, loving, adoring temperaments.  Females are also very loving etc but the BITCH part does come out every now and then. My husband, although very fond of the girls, has always maintained the boys are extra special.

I myself have sold numerous males to clients who only wanted girls and to date have not had one complaint.

The problem people experience is simply they buy a male,  they do not neuter him, they bring in another dog be it male or female and the dog feels threatened so the fun starts.  The male plays up,  starts urinating all over and then of course….. it’s the fact that its a male that’s the problem - when in actual fact it’s the owners fault.  NEUTER,  NEUTER, NEUTER.  Your pets will be far more happier and content, they will not be as temperamental when another pet joins the family. They will not have sexual urges so their disposition will be fairly stable. Do not wait till you have a problem until you neuter, prevention is better than cure, and if you are reading this article and have a problem with an unsterilized male, consult your vet, he/she more than likely will recommend sterilization of your pet.

Lastly consider ROMEO -  he did it for Juliet….I promise he will do it for you…… (but Neuter)

TINY TOTS AND MIJOY

Read all about it…………

Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated with SMALL dogs on the one hand and very large dogs on the other hand.(owning my first Saint Bernard in 1974) My first 1kg Yorkie 1977.  Never did I ever think for one moment, that midway through years of breeding YORKIES (a good few years now) we would start producing HEALTHY, ROBUST, SOLID “LITTLE YORKIES” totally out of the blue.  I would have the same lines as the other breeder had, we would have bought from the same kennel, and out would pop this MAGIC TINY TOT……  Let me explain further.

One of the tinies springs to mind.....I for example bred Tinkerbelle from a 3.2kg mother and a 3.5kg?(possibly more) father. Tinkerbelle sadly passed away one month after her 10th birthday.  Her litter sister is still with me, 3kg plus as is her mother. The sire at the time belonged to another breeder, the male strangely enough – a stunning dog but bigger than the mom, who was 3kg plus.  TINKERBELLE was 1kg sometimes fractionally more sometimes fractionally less. Tinkerbelle was a solid little yorkie – my description of her, a solid little brick on cotton reels. Tinkerbelle was a top quality little girl, and her sister Tayla (3kg) produced stunning pups during her breeding career.( She has been sterilized for a good few years now.)  Quality through and through. Tinkerbelle went everywhere, with me and in January of this year, she was off colour, nothing obviously serious, and a matter of a week later passed away in her sleep.  Tinkerbelle had lived a very good life. In that 10 year life span. She was spayed at 8 months of age.  Had her dentals periodically at the vet, otherwise, had never visited a vet until just prior to her passing. She was of course, inoculated and dewormed as required over the years. Not ONCE did she see a vet for being ill in all those years. (Except for the week before her death)

This story of Tinkerbelle I can relate to MANY of my really tiny dogs that have popped up over the years, they are sterilised and have their dentals done regularly, are inoculated and dewormed as required, BUT rarely see a vet for any other problem.  The smaller yorkie is quite capable of reaching the age of any other yorkie.  We have Yorkies here at present, our oldest at this stage two of 14 years of age and still wonderfully well. Two of 12 going on 13 years of age.   We at MIJOY do believe the gene for these tinies is carried in our blood lines. It has to be in our lines, as our tiniest yorkie that is fast approaching 7 years of age and 602gms in weight – his mother is still around and in excess of 3kg. Another hate of mine, is a very lightweight dog.  What am I saying? You can have two dogs of 1kg each. There CAN BE a huge difference in size. WHY? Simple, the one dog is a robust solid animal, while the other is a lightweight dog which could be blown over in a gust of wind.  The norm for MIJOY, our tinies are well built solid little babies.  Anyone who knows me or has bought from me – knows this is my theory and has been for years, and years and years, NOT something I decided on yesterday.  Read my literature on this site, which has been on this site and the previous site, and on the then YORKIE site which belonged to Hannelie a number of years ago.  NOTHING has changed.

We use certain terms for our dogs sizing, not that the terms used are in any breed standard etc.  Here again the pups we breed are sold as pets, as the breed standard calls for a dog of around 7lbs in weight.  Our terms is just something which has developed over the years, and what the majority of the public term as the miniature sized yorkie is not a small dog at all. It is the larger female we should all be using for breeding purposes. Why do we sell as pets and pets only?  I bred Persians for many years, and did exactly the same thing. WHY??? We have done rescue for many years, a breeding animal is always at risk.  Risk of not producing, or producing too few offspring, not worth keeping, not worth all the trouble, so the animal is booted out. The animal breeds, and breeds and breeds and breeds, and then reaches its “past” sell by date. Once again given the boot.  This is something we try at all costs, to avoid. 

We believe it is vitally important if you purchase a smaller sized YORKIE to ensure you are purchasing first and foremost a HEALTHY PUP.  This includes pups that will reach up the 1.8 and 1.9kg. So often we are all taken in by this adorable, stunning looking pup, only to suffer heartache within a few months, when the dog is diagnosed with a health disorder.  YES Yorkies will have the odd problem known to the breed, but these health issues are not going to KILL your dog, and they are not going to result in your dog becoming a SPECIAL NEEDS VICTIM.  I am talking about disorders that affect your dog’s life, longevity.  I do not sell to breeders, so my concern is mainly that the pups I sell and that includes the very small ones, are healthy and will give their owner years and years of love and loyalty, and good health. We guarantee all our pups irrespective of their size, but it is vitally important that the public are aware, that these SMALL dogs or smaller sized Yorkies, call it what you like, are healthy, solid little well balanced dogs. It is also in your interest to know where you stand with the Breeder of your choice. You buy a pup, sets you back a few rand, what if???? What if the dog is diagnosed with a health problem, that is life threatening, or will result in you having a sickly dog the rest of its life???? I do see some overseas breeders do exactly the same as MIJOY- Guarantee for the first year of the dog’s life. Make sure you know where you stand….  Not pleasant when you find out to your detriment you are sitting with either a dead pup or sickly pup, and then of course, it is TOO late for discussion on WHAT IF????  IT is so rewarding to buy a pup and have years and years of a wonderful relationship with your Breeder of choice, who is there for you every step of the way, who becomes a very good friend.

Lastly be aware of the misleading advertising and the scams out there.

FALSE  SECURITY – Pool nets.

Please be careful the small yorkie or yorkie pup can get through the netting pretty easily. Do not have a fatality as a result of using a pool net to keep your dog/s safe.


 



OUR PUPS ARE TOTALLY SOCIALISED

 WE 

GUARANTEE OUR PUPS TEMPERAMENTS……

TOTALLY CONFIDENT, FRIENDLY, LOVING. –

 NO HIDING, AND RUNNING AWAY WITH A MIJOY PUPPY………..

Our pups are accustomed to other dogs, both large and small, cats, Parrots and most of all CHILDREN.  Please ensure your children or grandchildren know how to handle a pup and dog. Please be extra careful if you own one of our precious very tiny Yorkies.  YORKIES if reared properly will melt with delight when they see a child. This is so rewarding for both dog and child.  PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CHILD/GRANDCHILD KNOWS HOW TO TREAT AND HAS RESPECT FOR ANIMALS.  Children who live and interact with animals have such an advantage over those who don’t.

As they say YOU HAVE NOT LIVED UNTIL YOU HAVE LOVED AN ANIMAL………………..

 

   No pup from MIJOY will fear a child. PLEASE ensure your child or grandchild treats the pup properly. Our pups will never bite BUT if a pup or dog is subjected to abuse at the hands of a child, the day will come when that dog will BITE BACK..........

Please be a responsible pup/dog owner and teach the children to respect, to love, to cherish and to care for the animals they come into contact with.

Please remember - a pup in your home is YOUR responsibility and not that of any child - student.  By all means teach children responsibility but until such times as they are adults themselves, the responsibility of owning animals lies with you the Parent........

TRAINING YOUR DOG-  Article 1

Teaching your dog to down:

Get your dog to sit. Hold a treat in the back of your hand and let the dog sniff it. Turn your hand palm down, thumb and forfinger covering the dog's nose. Then move your hand straight down slowly, while the dog follows your hand down. 
Don't move your hand away from the dog, because he will then get up and follow your hand. If he gets up, ask him to sit again. As soon as he lies down say the word "down" and let him have the treat. After continuous practice he will learn what the word "down" means.

A Dog’s Prayer

Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair.
My body is aching; it's so racked with pain,
and dear God I pray, as I run in the rain.
That someone will love me and give me a home.
My last owner tied me all day in the yard
sometimes with no water, and God that was hard.
So I chewed my leash, and I ran away.
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now God, I'm tired and hungry and cold,
and I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old...
Dear God, send me a new home, I'll try to be good,
and I won't chew their shoes, and I'll do as I should.
I'll love them, protect them and try to obey.
when they tell me to sit, to lie down or to stay!
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry,
cause I'm so afraid God, that I'm going to die.
And I've got so much love and devotion to give,
that I should be given a new chance to live!
So dear God, please answer my prayer,
and send me someone who will REALLY care.

The Yorkie is not for everyone and this must be considered when thinking of adding one to your family.


We breed the Yorkies in different sizes. The Breed Standard is 7lbs or less. We breed all sizes of Yorkies but specialize in the Tiny Tots. (TCup & Pocket Yorkie pages) We have The True Teacup, the Genuine Pocket, The Miniature and  rarely the Standard.
The Various sizes are suited to the various people.

The Yorkie is a hands on dog. The smaller the Yorkie, the more attention and dedication required. We sell our dogs with a written contract. This protects both the Breeder and the New Owner. Our pups are home-raised, therefore they portray a super temperament.

A Yorkie is a household dog, not a backyard mutt. They need a lot of t.l.c.and if you are not prepared to go the extra mile, do not consider purchasing a Yorkie. They are highly intelligent, very loving and devoted to their owners, loyal and trusting.

They are not to be purchased as a fashion statement or on the spur of the moment.

They need grooming on a regular basis. Need their teeth checked regularly. Need to be fed a quality dry food diet (Obtainable from your vet) NO table scraps and tit bits.

The smaller Yorkies are not suited to Kenneling so take that into consideration when you consider buying the Tiny Folk. The Maid or the Neighbour is not qualified to look after the pup/dog when you are on leave, if a problem goes un-noticed it could be the end of your tiny Yorkie. We have been involved with the breed for 30 years. Are happy to be of any assistance regarding the care etc of the breed. Articles follow relating to the Genuine Pocket and the True Teacup it is in your interests to read these articles should you be interested in buying the smaller Yorkie.
PLEASE NOTE : OUR PUPS ARE SOLD PURELY AS PETS NOT FOR ANY FORM OF BREEDING
REMEMBER

• Do not buy a Yorkie for a young child, unless under constant supervision and then a larger pup not the tinies.
• Do not expect your child/teenager to take responsibility for the pup/dog you as the parent must, otherwise do not buy the pup.
• If you live in an Apartment, Townhouse or Cluster development find out the Body Corporate / Developments rules regarding the keeping of dogs. So often pups are bought only to find out one is prohibited from keeping them.


Hear our prayer O Lord ...

 for animals that are overworked, underfed, and cruelly treated; 

for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars; 

for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death....
and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion
and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals,
and so to share the blessings of the merciful.
~ Albert Schweitzer ~

Thank you Corlia for this beautiful prayer.
