| Yorkie puppy wanted in NYC... If anyone knows of a good/ reputable breeder near the NYC area I would love to have their contact details. I have called many breeders on ytac.org, but none of them have anything at the moment. Like everyone else here I want to avoid pet stores and would like to get my puppy from a home where I can meet the breeder, dam and sire. I am looking for a female yorkie that will fall within the acceptable size (5 to 7 pounds). To add to the challenge, I would like a Yorkie that has a soft/cotton coat (not silk). I fully understand that silk coats are a big part of the breed standard, and I also know that the soft/ cotton coat is harder to manage… but I want to keep my yorkie in a puppy cut and I just love the way they look in a soft coat. If anyone can advise me, I would greatly appreciate it. I am getting frustrated and would love to bring a little yorkie home soon! |

| it does take some time to find a puppy, especially a female. While i was looking it seemed like every breeder had only males available and all the females were already spoken for. With that in mind, i would continue researching breeders. Try contacting all of them on that ytca list in the states that you can get to without to much trouble. It's probably more important to find a breeder you really like and hold out for one of their litters then to find any available puppy. Who have you spoken to? |

| It will be hard to find a cotton coat since that is what most breeders try to eliminate in their stock. If you plan on keeping a puppy cut, I have seen a number of champions cut down after retirement in the puppy cut and they are cute and puppyish (even at 10 or 11 years old). The difference between silk and cottony would not be as noticeable with a cut down... you might want to consider getting the best possible pet Yorkie you can from a reliable breeder. I know someone in Ct and she would be worth the drive. Good luck! |

| Thank you both for your replies! I agree on the coton coat... After speaking with many breeders, they do try to avoid this trait. I'd rather go with a breeder I like and have found one that I trust. She is also based in CT. What is the name of your contact in CT? |
