| Wanted: AKC Male Hi, I am looking for an AKC male yorkie, I am looking for Breeding/Show Quality. Possibly an adult looking for a new home. I have a female and do not want to breed junk, if I decide to breed at all... I do not want to spend over $1000, I know this sounds outrageous. I am hoping there is someone looking for there dog a great home where they will be pampered and well taken care of! I would like something that is house trained, no kennel dogs please. Our dogs are part of our family, and our yorkie female is like our child! So I want something that would be a fit for our home! No tiny, teacup, micro, I want healthy pups.... 4.0-5.0 This male must have full AKC registration so that I may breed him if I choose to in the future. Thank you! |

| Please don't take what I am going to say the wrong way, but as a breeder myself if someone were to contact me about one of my boys for adoption as a breeder I would have several questions. Have you researched the Yorkshire breed? Have you had your little girl tested to be sure she is healthy enough for breeding? Do you know what is in her bloodlines? big/small, health issues such as LS, heart, kidney etc.? Are you sure your up to the challenge that comes along with being a responsible breeder? The emergency c-sections, the chance of a puppy or litter dying or even the female? The possibility of having to bottle or tube feed babies every couple of hours because the female either can't or won't? The vet bills that go along with having puppies, shots, tail, worming, health checks? This all adds up faster than one might think, adding that all on top of many sleepless nights can and does make for a very stressful period of time. Then you have to think about what it takes to find the right homes for the babies you are blessed with. This in an of itself can be very trying, are you prepared to keep a puppy (maybe three) if you can't find a suitable home for it? Right about now your more than likely thinking that I'm trying to be mean or bully you.... HONEST I'M NOT When I first got into breeding I had spent almost three full years studying the breed, I thought I had learned everything that I would need to know. I didn't have the pleasure of having a mentor because I live in a very small town (300 people) and too far from the city to travel everyday back and forth to learn if there had been anyone around. I got the shock of my life the first time I lost a puppy, it felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest. And the first c-section scared me half to death. Thankfully my veterinary decided to help me learn what I needed to know. He taught me how to properly whelp a litter, repostion a breach baby/when to do so and when not to. He taught me to tube feed properly and he to this day is still there for me. What I am trying to say is before you jump into breeding please be sure you know what all the ins and outs are. Know why you want to do it, hopefully not to just be able to say that you are a breeder. Talk to some of the other breeders here who have been doing this for many years. These are wonderful people and will help you a great deal if you ask. I know personally I have learned a great deal since I've been a member here and I've made some wonderful friends that I truely treasure. I wish you luck in finding the baby you are looking for but to be honest in MY OPINION ONLY... the price you have said you want to spend I don't know that you are going to find the perfection you are asking for. To me I would be thankful to find a male puppy that might turn out to be of good breeding quality for $1500 and then there would be no guarantee. Any reputable breeder that has a breeding quality male is going to be very careful where he goes. Breeders work hard to get their lines and produce quality pups in hope of bettering the breed itself. They or at least I want to know that the person getting one of my babies has the knowledge to carry on what I have worked so hard to produce. Sorry this is so long winded, but I hope this helps you and that you don't get angry at me. This is all just my opinion....

| male yorkie I have a new litter but like the last post I will not sell a male with open registration for less then 1500. If you are wanting a show male these puppies most likely will be. the are Champion sired. I am not a kennel my dogs are raised in my home. No one is in a kennel except for cleaning days then I do crate while I do my cleaning. Feel free to PM me. Have a good day. |

| I have (2) two moth old yorkies. They have received their current shots and are registerable with the APR. My wife and I live in Irvine Ca. If you are close to Orange County we would be happy to drive them out to you. We would sell one for 1,000 or two for 1,600 |

| advice If you want a good quality dog from an excellent breeder reputation with akc full registration (dog show quality) the price will be around $2000 or more. You have to look the ethic of the breeder that's very important if your purpose is show. I'm looking for the right girl for me and I have more than four months looking in the magazines, shows and breeders. Sometimes is very expensive and sometimes is not the right breeder. Good luck and keep in mind that dog show is not a game. It's a passion.

| AN intact male will mark territory regardless of how it was raised kennel or not. That's the reality of owning a stud dog and it is worse if your bitch is in heat. A reputable breeder would not sell to you, I can tell you that right now. If they did, they would want to know your reasons for breeding, would want a lot of info about the bitch you have now, would co own with you, would expect you show the male you purchase and yes a show male is $2500 and up. And you won't own it outright, it would be co owned with the breeder you bought from. To buy quality you have to find quality and a reputable breeder with quality is not going to sell to someone just wanting to breed and sell puppies. I have no doubt you will likely find someone who will just sell to you but you get what you pay for and get what you get when you deal with someone who works that way. Also Champion sired or champion's in a pedigree will NOT guarantee a show pup. If it did, everything I would have produced would be champions but they are not. One perhaps two in a litter may be show qualilty some are not and are sold spay/neuter for pet. I have had litters that had no show quality all were sold for pet spay neuter and with 80% champions AKC and or Canadian Kennel Club in the pedigree. Go to dog shows, talk to breeders, find someone who will mentor you. |
