The Price
Sometimes people are swayed by the initial cost of a puppy. Some may question why I may charge more than someone else. Anyone can breed two dogs. Find any two dogs and breed them.
First off I spend countless hours finding the perfect dogs. I buy quality bred dogs. Who's parents meet the breeds standard confirmation, are health tested, have great temperaments, they're purebred and papered.
Once they are in my care they continue to get the utmost care. High quality food, the best vet care I can find. They're treated as one of our family members.
It's time consuming. It's costly. Vet bills. Food bills. The time I put in caring for the momma while pregnant, while she is giving birth. Someone is with them at all times for the 3-4 weeks of life. Around the clock, I’m up every 2 hours to help mama feed.
Day to Day
I work with them everyday. So that when you bring your pup home s/he will be well on it's way to being a social, well adjusted, healthy pet.
I spend time clipping nails often so that they’re not scared of it, socializing, making sure they hear different sounds (vacuum, blender etc) cleaning and playing with my puppies.
I will start getting them on potty training on artificial grass pads, I’ve had great success with this!
Your puppy will come home with a bag of high quality Fromm kibble, treats, toys, a leash and a blanket with the smell of their mom and littermates for comfort. Just to name a few items. When buying for my puppy packs I try to think like a new puppy owner and what would be nice/handy to have.vvvv
Health & Happiness
Your puppy will be dewormed at 4, 6 and 8 weeks, s/he will receive their first set of puppy vaccinations at 8 weeks as well as a complete veterinarian check up and health certificate.
Your puppy will be microchipped. A Bella Mia puppy will never end up in a shelter. A Bella Mia puppy always has a home here if you can no longer care for them.
My dogs are tested for all genetic diseases.
This ensures that you puppy will not have any genetic diseases now or in the future. I guarantee that. If your dog should develop any, you will be given a replacement puppy from my next litter.
You will receive breeder support. Any questions you have, if I don't know the answer I will help you find it.
I will have a private Facebook group for owners of a Bella Mia pup, this way everyone can see how siblings are as well.
I will keep in touch with each and every puppy family.
Your puppy will be CKC registered.
In short, could you find a puppy cheaper? Of course.
Would that puppy cost you more down the road in vet fees etc than my puppy? Quite possibly.
Do I believe my health guaranteed, socialized, incredibly beautiful puppies are worth their cost? Yes, and worth so much more!

Breeder must be included in any life decisions of this puppy. Failure to do so will VOID the guarantee and no replacement puppy will be given. If breeders vet agrees to diagnosis, puppy must be returned to breeder at seller’s expense for another puppy of equal value and same sex from same puppy parents. If breeder does not have one, then buyer agrees to wait for next litter, at which time buyer will have first buyer pick. There will be NO cash refunds for any reason.

Puppy will be weighed before departure and weight recorded. New puppy parents should keep track of puppy weight to make sure the puppy is thriving. Vet visits will also record puppy weight.
Seller is not responsible for any conditions brought on by the stress of shipping or new home relocation or adaptation of puppy into new family environment. These conditions are, but not limited to: diarrhea, hypoglycemia, Coccidiosis, Giardia, Car Sickness, vomiting or refusal to eat. Buyer will be prepared and educated on the stresses of introducing a new puppy to your family and be prepared with calorie rich nutritional supplements to prevent a drop in blood sugar (Hypoglycemia) which is life threatening to your new puppy. A preventative meeting with your vet is recommended so that you have the supplies necessary should they be needed.
Buyer is cautioned not to visit dog parks, or put puppy down on pavement, counters, floors in public spaces, visit pet stores, or any public areas before all shots are received. Parvo virus lives in the soil and on surfaces and is easily contracted by vulnerable puppies. Buyer is also cautioned to limit exposure to strangers, to encourage everyone to wash hands and remove footwear outside the home to limit viruses being brought into the puppy environment before the puppy is fully vaccinated. Please thoroughly clean your floors with a disinfectant that will kill viruses living on your floor surfaces, and rinse properly before bringing your puppy home.
Seller is also not responsible for any of the following once the 72 hours has expired: Parvo, Distemper, Lepto, or any other contagious virus. These are life threatening and require immediate vet care. Please keep your puppy away from grass, standing water, areas where other animals may leave droppings that puppy can consume, or long grass where ticks can attach to your puppy.
Seller is not liable for retained puppy teeth, hernias, luxating patellas, kennel cough, dew claws, weight loss, other infections, or ears that do not stand. All these issues are environmental and are preventable or treatable, or cosmetic in nature.
Buyer agrees not to use collars on puppy. For safety reasons, a harness is the only acceptable method. Puppy should not be tied outdoors unattended. Harness should only be used when the dog is on a leash being walked. Buyer agrees not to use any type of restraint on the puppy while indoors or at night, or when a puppy owner is not supervising to avoid choking or hanging hazards. Small dogs are prey to Eagles, Hawks, Vultures, Owls, foxes, raccoons, coyotes, etc. Supervision is always required unless puppies are in a safe attached enclosure with roof and walls such as a sunroom or attached enclosed escape proof deck or porch.
Yorkies are notorious climbers. Crates or xpens with vertical bars are recommended so puppies cannot climb to the top and fall out breaking a leg or neck. If you must use an xpen to contain your puppy, please purchase one with a top or use additional panels to enclose it so the puppy does not injure itself. Also, when purchasing an xpen, please use extreme caution to make sure there are no areas a puppy can get a leg caught when jumping up. It is recommended to line the inside top half of these pens with white board so your new puppy cannot get a toe hold to climb up.
Our dogs are sold and priced as Pets only.
