sounds like you are on the right track, although I know it is frustrating to not know if she will sell her pups or not, but stay in touch and ask questions and so forth, chances are she will not want to finish off three puppies at the same time. However even if it does not work out with her she can probably help you in your search and be helpful in telling you what to look for

| I realized along the way to looking for a puppy is to get a feel of the person and see how they respond to your questions, are they hesitant, moody, or are they willing to answer all your questions. Another thing I learnt along the way, is the Breeder okay with you taking it to a vet, is there any pressure into buying the puppy, stuff like that you have to look out for. I found a great breeder recently, he is not registered but was completely transparent about the whole process, he will even let me take it to the vet Before even purchasing the puppy, already met the parents, let me in his house to sit and interact with the puppies and parents, very kind older man. That is a sign of a good breeder IMO. Last edited by Torguy; 11-07-2015 at 01:17 AM. |

| Hi there! Welcome to YorkieTalk and so glad to see another Kentucky member. We have a small group that likes to get together for Yorkie Meetups (usually hosted by another member and held at the Horse Park). We also like to attend the dog show in Louisville each March. Hope you will join us. From what I can tell, there are several reputable breeders in Kentucky. I will be glad to talk to you by private message about some of them. My only pup that is not a rescue is named Piccolo. She came from Cher Hildebrand in Dayton, Ohio; Goldenray Yorkies. I would definitely recommend her, but I believe she has retired. I have messaged another friend of mine from Kentucky about breeders and hopefully she will post soon too. In the meantime, enjoy the journey of finding your perfect Yorkie pup.

Yorkie Talker | I thought I would give you all an update. I found a breeder I was comfortable with and went to meet her and the puppies yesterday. She has beautiful puppies and the mom was beautiful as well. I spent time at her house with her dogs and am very comfortable buying from her. The problem is... I didn't. I walked out without a puppy for now. I don't know if I'm still grieving for "Scruffy" so much that I'm just not ready yet or what. I can't believe I came home without a puppy. My husband was shocked. It has been 5 weeks since I lost Scruffy and my world has been turned upside down. |

You will know when you are ready. Don't rush it because you might still be looking for Scruffy in another pup and that can be very difficult. I had a friend do that and it took her so long to bond with the new pup. She almost gave up....but it did work out in the end. During that time, I felt terrible for both of them.

Yorkie Talker | Thanks so much, ladyjane! I felt a little crazy. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted and needed, but when I got there I just wasn't sure. I've lost dogs before, but none have affected me like this. I was with this little guy almost around the clock. I work from home, and he slept with me. He was the little blanket I couldn't go to sleep without. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | You are not alone in this. I lost Gracie in Oct 2014 (she was 1 mo from being at and died in DH arms) and our hearts were broken. DH was adamant no more dogs !!!!!!!!!!! He couldn't go thru this again. In Nov 2014 I went to a dog show just to see and be around some Yorkies. It was nice, but it wasn't my Gracie and glad I went because it answered questions for me as I wasn't ready either. Then in April 2015, I finally sent a note to Gracie's show breeder and told her how much we appreciated Gracie and what she meant to our lives. - Was unable to write the email before then because my tears would have shorted out the keyboard. In July of this year she called me and said she had something that we might be interested in - long story short - DH finally agreed and in Oct 2015 I flew and picked up two - Luke and Lily - litter mates - they were slightly over 4 months old - spayed neutered, all shots and ready to travel. When I had face timed with the breeder and saw these faces and knew then it was time. When DH saw them, the next day, he said I am okay with this, let's get them. The time will come and your heart will let you know. Don't rush, take this time to grieve and remember your baby and all the memories that you will have forever.
