| Any yorkie breeders in Houston, Texas? Hi guys! I am new to the boards so hello to all! I am interested in purchasing a blue/gold or blue/tan yorkie in Houston or surrounding area but can't seem to find any reputable breeders. Any suggestions or do you know of any nearby Houston? Any feedback would be appreciated...Thanks! P.S. I want a yorkie for a pet only, no showing or breeding. |

| HI and welcome! I would get a yorkie from a breeder that is affiliated with the YTCA (Yorkshire Terrier Club of America). Here is a link to the breeders in Texas that are affiliated: http://www.ytca.org/breeder3.html#TX You could also PM luvmypupster, she is very knowledgable about breeders in your area and has info about the local Yorkie Club. Good luck with your search! |

| In the Yorkies for sale or wanted section, there are several puppies listed in Texas. I hope one of these pups will work for you. Keep us posted.

| I got Tatum in the Houston area about a year ago but being a one time contact with the breeder I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending her. Tatum is perfect in every way, IMHO!!, but I just really don't know the breeder well at all. If you think you want to at least contact her, PM me and I'll find her name at home tonight. I would expect you to fully check her puppies out (if she has any) and go with your instinct and not by my recommendation only. I know I got lucky with Tatum considering the stories I've heard but I CAN tell you about one "breeder" in Houston to avoid because I've actually been to her house to look at a puppy. I can't remember her name but Villette (red98vett) has posted stuff about her before. Villette?? Do you remember who I'm talking about?? Betty something maybe? If we can at least help by telling you who NOT to buy from, I would at least feel good about that.

| Show breeders show to have their breeding stock evaluated and hopefully improve the breed. I would only buy from a show breeder today.

| As do ALL reputable, caring, concerned breeders....many of who are also actively involved in research and genetics and the effects of concentrated line breeding anomolies from breeding the same lines over and over with no out crossing. Some reputable breeders have chosen, for WHATEVER reasons, perhaps in light of their extensive medical background, to spend most of their time and money in the area of research and genetics and trying to actually nail down genetic markers from SPECIFIC lines that have a propensity to continually throw genetically defected offspring. When a genetic marker can be identified for liver shunts, bad eyes, bad hearts, etc, THAT will do more for "improving the breed" than ANYTHING just showing a dog will do! |
