Looking for reputable breeder in the area - YorkieTalk.com Forums

kalina82 · 05-05-2006, 07:43 PM

Hi, I'm new to the forums. I'm currently looking for good yorkie breeders in the tri-state area. I want a male puppy that will be on the smaller side, perferably 4lbs or under. I've never owned a dog before but i've worked with them in shelters and animal hospitals for years and knows lots about them and their behavior (also have a bs in biology and took some animal behavior classes in college). I've looked around the forums and found a couple nice places that i'm waiting to hear from but i would like to hear of some more. Please let me know where you guys got your puppies from or if you know of any really good breeders around. thanks

I have found 2 breeders in the NYC area, Pupstory (homebredpuppies.com) and Vanity Pups (vanitypups.com). There is a great breeder in Paterson, NJ named Guy Garner (973-652-7758), he came with excellent recommendations from Puppyfind.com. There are a lot of breeders in the city, I just can't see paying $1000 and up for a puppy. I got my first one from a breeder in NC for a very reasonable price, she was wonderful, but that's a long drive now for a puppy. Hope this helps.

Hi I am new here. I have 2 golden retrievers a cat and have been looking to add a yorkie to my family. I wanted some input on the dog. I heard they were not good with little children and since I am a foster parent for little children I was a little worried about that. Also heard they have bad separation anxiety as I work full time so I would be away from the house sometimes 8 hrs a day sometimes my husband does get home early so the dog may be alone 5 hrs of the day. just wondering how true that is.

Kim,

You should post this on the General YT Board. I think you'll get a lot more input than here.

Some Yorkies are good with children & some aren't. Some children are good with small animals, & some aren't.

Since Yorkies are small, the children should be over 5 to 7 years of age. You should get a Yorkie on the big (tea pot) side (over 7 pounds).

Lots of Yorkie owners are away during the day. Older Yorkies sleep a lot. You need to make sure they are in a safe place, have toys to play with, a comfortable place to sleep, & water. Your other dogs would be company.

You should check out rescues.

Bill
