| Advice on looking for a pup.... For my bday my DH is going to get me a lil girl yorkie!! When should I start actually going to breeders and looking at the parents and pups? It's 5 months away, but I know that finding a good breeder may take some time... not to mention making sure I have the $$ for everything! I live in SE Mo, and I know there are a lot of puppy mills in Mo... I want to do it right this time!! Teddy was from a 'hobby breeder'.. they were great ppl, he came with a purina book though... and they fed him purina puppy... I want to find someone that is very educated on their breed, and I would like to know about the parents bloodline and all.. Also, I would like to know if I should only look at certain registrations... Teddy is APRI... What is a reasonable amount to expect to pay for a pup in Mo? TIA!!

| Go to the AKC web page and look for Yorkie Breeders in MO. Call all that you can. Most of them do have a waiting list so be prepared. They will let you know what they are asking in the event they do have available puppies. From the time I started looking for a Yorkie from someone who shows them to the time I finally got one was a year. Well worth the wait. Just make sure you do go to the home to see how the dogs live and how many they may have. They usually don't let the puppies go until they have them spayed and neutered which is wonderful! Good luck in your search.
