| Question about Breeder Has anyone heard of yorkie breeder Fred and Marcia Wolpert? Any help would be appreciated. I know that they show dogs but they also offer puppies for sale. Any information would be appreciated. Thank You for your responses.

| I have heard of them in the Maryland area, and I think they were on my list of breeders to call when we were searching, however I never made contact with them. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You should try googling them, if you haven't, sounds like they have won lots of shows.

I guess I should have asked if anyone knows of their reputation of selling puppies. They definitely show and they have a boarding kennel in MD. I have spoken with them. After learning so much on this website on what to ask, I was surprised at their responses. Not really anything negative but certainly different from what everyone on YT suggests as far as purchasing from a reputable breeder.

| I got their names from YTCA. They are local to me. I have spoken with them and I can tell that they are very much into their dogs and shows, I was more curious about their selling of their pups. Did you find a pup before calling them?

| Yea, I am having that same issue with the names on the list. I am really surprised of the responses that I have gotten back from those that I have emailed (none) and then those that I have spoken with. Not really anything negative but left with probably more questions than before talking with them. Does that make any sense?

| I'm curious, what questions are they not answering? Or are they skirting around the questions with a question? |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Maybe they are just being cautious, they probably get lots of lookie lous.

| The Wolperts have been showing and breeding for years. I have only seen their dogs in Yorkie Tales and The Yorkshire Terrier magazine and they look like nice dogs. But that is the only thing I know about them. |

I am sure that with their association with the club and them showing their dogs, they do strive to breed healthy dogs however, I would like to know that I have some type of insurance against any issues. I don't want to put a negative vibe on any of the breeders in a public forum and I really don't have any negative to say about them, I guess I was just very surprise at how the conversations went. The ones that I spoke with obviously take care of their dogs since they do have champions. Am I being overly sensitive? I guess I just have read so many warm and caring posts from the breeders on YT that I expected all breeders to be this way. Am I wrong?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Sometimes really good breeders don't really raise that many dogs, and often there is a waiting list for their dogs. They seem to interview the prospects more than they are interviewed, maybe they think their reputation should say enough. You have to remember they get many calls from would-be breeders, and probably are very weary. I found that many warm up after the initial call.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I know the Wolpert name. Due to their show stature and reputation I doubt seriously they expect their breeding program to be questioned. I would expect most of their puppies are sold via wait list and/or others in the show circuit.
