Hi, I would like to welcome you to 3 Pines Kennels. My name is Sharon and I am a small breeder nestled in the midst of the Orange Groves of Central California. I am a single mom of a special needs little girl and love and raise pups as a hobby.
I purchased a Yorkipoo for myself as a personal pet after my oldest son was tragically killed in an auto accident. I had worked for the local Animal Control and ran an all breed rescue for many years and I have seen first hand the deplorable conditions in which some people raise their dogs. After the death of my son I knew I could not do rescue any more, I just could not deal with the sadness of death and sickness that goes along with it. Since I love dogs and I knew there was a need for legit breeders that people could trust I decided to start breeding the Yorkipoos.
I fell in love with the mixed breed after getting my Pippi. I found there were a lot of my friends and others who seemed to want one, so I decided that this would be a fun, positive thing I could do as a small home business.
Although some of my dogs are kenneled, mostly for their safety, all of my adults are allowed to run in large yards at times for exercise. I live in the country and have several fenced areas for them to run and play but because I live in the country I also have to be aware of coyotes and hawks that are always around looking for a free meal, so if I am not out with them they are kept in their kennels where they are safe. All the adults have an annual check up with the vet and get shots and wormed.
I have a nursery room that moms are brought into before they have their pups where they are bathed, groomed and get all set up for the big day. Most will stay there until their pups are sold. It is heated and cooled so both moms and pups are comfortable, it is connected the main house so I can always hear what is going on even at night.

Puppy Agreement:
All of my pups come with at least their first shot and worming. They have a one year health guarantee. I handle and socialize each pup and they are temperament tested for best placement. Please feel free to read my Puppy Sale Agreement at the bottom of this page.
Shipping:
Shipping is available within the USA. I ship with Delta, Alaska and sometimes American. In the summer and winter I can only use Alaska and if your airport does not service this airline then I use a private handler. She cost a bit more but is worth the extra. She travels with puppies in cabin with her and monitors them all the way, plus she calls and lets myself the the new buyer the status of the flight and how pup is doing. She is just great.
Payment, Deposits and Pricing:
$$$ If you do not see the prices please email me.
$$$ I accept payment in the form of a cash, personal check, money order, cashier check and prefer Paypal. Click the large work Paypal to pay either a deposit or full payment with Paypal
Deposit Policy:
If you are thinking of putting a deposit on a puppy please read this first: If you put a deposit on a puppy before it is born and you change your mind before it is born you get 100% of you deposit back. If you should change your mind after the pup is born and before it is 6 weeks of age you get 50% of your deposit back. If you change your mind after the pup is 6 weeks of age you get no refund. If at any time something should go wrong with the pup rendering it unadoptable or if the sex of the pup you put a deposit on was not born then your deposit is moved to another pup or litter or you get 100% back. I realize that most breeders do not refund but I feel there are too many surprises in life to not give a refund up till the pup is almost ready to go home. If you have any further questions about the deposit please email me.
SCAMS:
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY SOME ONE THAT HAS BEEN SCAMMED. AS A BREEDER AND A CARING PERSON, THIS SO BOTHERS ME. IF YOU BUY FROM ME OR NOT, PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING.
IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT MOST LIKELY IS. THE DISHONEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THRIVE ON THE DESPERATE. I REALIZE THAT THE PRICES OF PUPPIES HAVE GONE WAY UP IN THE PAST FEW YEARS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR SOME TO PURCHASE A PUP. THE SCAMMERS ARE LOOKING FOR THESE PEOPLE. FOLLOW THESE FEW PRECAUTIONS AND MOST LIKELY YOU WILL SAVE YOURSELF LOTS OF HEARTACHE.
1) ALWAYS ASK FOR MORE PICTURES OF THE PUP AND COMPARE PICTURES TO MAKE SURE IT IS THE SAME PUP IN EACH PICTURE.
2) EVEN IF THE PUP IS IN L.A. AND YOU ARE IN NEW YORK, ASK IF YOU CAN COME TO THE KENNELS. A LEGITE BREEDER WILL WELCOME YOU, IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO BUT FIND OUT IF THEY WILL LET YOU.
3) NEVER SEND MONEY WITH A MONEY ORDER, WESTERN UNION OR OTHER MONEY SERVICES THAT ARE NOT SECURE. PAYPAL IS ONE OF THE MOST INSURED/SECURED WAYS.
4) ASK FOR REFERENCES OF PAST BUYERS AND CONTACT THEM.
5) IF THE PUP IS REGISTERED THEN ASK FOR THE PARENTS REGISTRATION NUMBERS AND CONTACT THE REGISTRY TO SEE IF THOSE DOGS ARE BELONGING TO THE PERSON SELLING THE DOGS. I DID THIS ONCE AND THE NUMBER BELONGED TO A DIFFERENT BREED DOG IN A DIFFERENT STATE OWNED BY A DIFFERINT PERSON.
DO THESE FEW THINGS AND I HOPE YOU NEVER GET SCAMMED.
