Michele was absolutely wonderful to work with. One can tell completely that her puppies are loved and cared for. We got our boy at 10 weeks old. He’s smart and very obviously been loved and acclimated to people. I would recommend Michele as an excellent, knowledgeable and caring breeder

Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. From start to finish, the entire process was easy, smooth, and well-organized. She was consistently responsive, sent frequent pictures and videos, and made the trip to pick up our puppy very easy and stress-free. Our puppy is beautiful, healthy, happy, and clearly well cared for. We are absolutely delighted and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and trustworthy breeder.

Working with Michelle exceeded our expectations. It was very important to us to meet not only her but the living quarters of the puppies and their parents to assure a healthy environment. After vetting us, she allowed us for regular visits. The care and environment of the puppies were extraordinary. We visited for 1 Puppy and left reserving 2 Puppies. They are home and 13 weeks old now and are happy and healthy.

+6We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Michele at Furry Tailz Yorkies. From the very beginning, Michele was incredibly responsive, answering every question we had almost immediately. While we waited for our puppy to be ready to come home, she kept us updated constantly with photos and videos. This made the waiting period so much more exciting and gave us peace of mind seeing our puppy grow. I also want to highlight how smooth the process was on Good Dog. Using the platform for the transaction was easy, straightforward, and most importantly, secure. We felt completely confident and protected from the scams that are so common elsewhere. Michele went above and beyond when it came to logistics. She arranged the delivery of our puppy and worked tirelessly to ensure he arrived in time for my twin daughters’ birthday. It was the perfect surprise! Our puppy arrived happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. He has been a wonderful addition to our family and has the sweetest temperament. If you are looking for a high-quality Yorkie and a breeder who truly cares, we would highly recommend Michele and Furry Tailz Yorkies.

+4I had a wonderful experience with Michele at Furry Tailz Yorkies. She was kind, honest, and kept me updated every week with photos and videos of Pippi. When I picked him up, he was healthy, confident, and clearly raised with love. Michele also sent Pippi home with a generous starter kit—including food, a comb, nail trimmers, pee pads, a blanket, and more—which made the transition so easy. Pippi (Helix)is the sweetest, happiest little boy, and I’m so grateful for the care Michele put into raising him. Highly recommend this breeder!
