| Why not search for a breeder in your area? There are members on YT that live far closer, try Sylvanyorkies.com her member name here is Sylvan.

Other than that, my only other suggestion is to have someone from YT that lives in the area to go check the breeder out and the pup. I would, but I don't live anywhere near there. The people are great here at YT and I am sure you can find someone to go check her out for you!!!

| Personally I would never ever buy a Yorkie (or any living being for that matter) from an unknown across the country. Our YT family contains many reputable breeders that are scatterred throughout the country. Some of our breeders are show breeders, some are not. Generally one or more have litters and if they don't have pups, they usually know someone who does. If I were looking for a specific bloodline, then I would make every effort to travel to look at the pups in person. |

| re: do you have to meet the breeder i would say yes..I have been looking for a yorkie for months. I've lost money looking online.."deposts" I was ready to do it again on a site that looked ok to me, come to find out they are a puppy mill in lancaster county, in Pa. i did a search on yorkies and puppy mills info came up, so i read it, well one of the places was in ronks pa wow i was ready to deal with them...would have been another big mistake ! now I found another kennel 40 minutes from me, which I am going Saturday to check it out, This one looks good too. i wont deal with a puppy mill, they treat the dogs/puppies really bad..you have to be careful when you dont see in person who your buying from and if the puppies and puppy parents are taken care of or just existing to breed. i hope to soon find my little bundle of joy..... good luck in finding yours Jeannie in Pa |

If you post her name or the kennel name or her website, someone might know something about her. I bought my Chachi without meeting the breeder, but I had a lot of people recommend her, so I felt comfortable with her. She has been in business for a long time, so she is well know in the Yorkie world. | |

My biggest concern of this breeder is all the different breeds of dogs that she has and that she advertises the "designer pups". This sounds to me like it's a puppy mill.

| I wish you only the best on saturday but please be careful, this is clearly a puppy mill, it appears this breeder breeds several breeds as well as trendy designer mixes I call "flavor of the month".....dont buy on impulse! In the long run this can cost you thousands and not to mention heart ache!
