Verified owner · Dec. 2025
Rick is awesome. He really knows quite a lot about this breed, Yorkies. They are so very playful, and smart. And I found that I cannot chase them, they always win. Rick did warn me. I really enjoyed the education that he gave us about the pups. I have spoken with other breeders that had such an attitude of superiority that I couldn't believe they cared about the pups or their parents. I would never deal with a person like that. Rick loves his dogs and the pups. He is warm and caring and wants best for little ones. I adopted two girl pups, that are funny and bright and adventurous, and Fast. I'm sure that is a result of Rick's care for his parent dogs. Rick is definitely all5stars
