Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Hi Hiccup! Welcome to YorkieTalk Here's what I've learned since being a member of YT: I can't stress enough how important the phrase "buy your breeder first" really is. There's a lot of information here on YT that will certainly help you find that breeder that's perfect for you. Here's YTs guide from the library (it's found in the Forums list under Yoda the Yorkie's head): Guide to Finding a Reputable Breeder Here's a list to current AKC suspensions that may help you sift out those undesirables (sometimes people will register with other non-reputable registries when they've been suspended or removed from AKC): http://www.akc.org/about/secretarys_page.cfm Also, I’d like to mention if you use YorkieTalk’s Search function, (use the Advanced Search to see all of the search options) there’s a Tag box where you can put in a Breeder’s name to search YT for threads related to a chosen breeder. You'll find all kinds of discussions; some good, some bad so that's why researching the breeder first is so very important!

| We just launched a new web site with a breeder search and user reviews. If you are looking for a Yorkie breeder in CA please follow this link: Yorkshire Terrier breeders in CA - Vadzilla Keep in mind that breeders that advertise on Vadzilla.com were not pre-screened, so please do your own due diligence, once you identify a breeder you like. We would also greatly appreciate if you post your experience and a review with us as well, to help other people looking for a Yorkie puppy. Best of luck in your search.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I would suggest doing research that's independent of a website promoting themselves.

| I would suggest to let people make their own decisions on how to do research and not rely on close-minded advice The search on Vadzilla is free and unbiased - the user is not forced to use one or another breeder.

Just fyi, I am probably the least closed minded person you'll run into here. I'm going to overlook the direct insult of your comment here. It just shows how little you know about our site.

| Hiccup8, PLEASE DO NOT visit the site below to purchase your puppy...I checked the Yorkie breeders in CA from vadzilla & some are known to be puppy mills & brokers/re-sellers! You can do a search here on YT & you'll find numerous threads about these greeders. You can also ask us about any breeder you want to get reviews on. Vadzilla doesn't screen any of the breeders on their site...buyer beware! Quote:

| What have you got to say about all the puppy mills, brokers/re-sellers advertising on your site? WHY would you allow that???

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | My guess is that they are fine with them as long as their payment goes through. It's no different than puppyfind, kiji, Craigslist or your local classifieds.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Exactly what "research" do you provide?

| Oh no, I am not telling YOU how to post, I am just advising others to form their own opinions, and not rely on negatively-biased, opinionated posts.

There must be an echo here... Thanks for reiterating the standard disclaimer in my post! Yes, Vadzilla.com doesnt pre-screen breeders, just like Tripadvisor.com doesn't pre-screen hotels (LET'S BASH IT TOO !!!). What we do, is give you tools to locate breeders and provide their contact information, which will make the screening process simpler. It is possible some breeders you will find are worse then others - it is up to you to find out - we have some points on site how to do that: How To Find A Good Breeder With Puppies For Sale | Articles | Vadzilla Good luck in your search.

Please stop using YT to push your site. If you had bothered to read the rules, you would find that you are allowed to put your ad in your signature, but not spam every thread with it.

| Yuck, I agree, I checked CA and some of the worst breeders around are on there. Bummer to be promoting such a site here. |
