| Looking in Northern California Hi I am new to Yorkie Talk and am looking for a yorkie puppy in Northern California. Does anyone recommend a breeder in the Bay Area. I would like my baby soon, but am willing to wait. I just want a healthy pup. Thanks Jen |

| What!? The Bay is the middle LOL! You are too funny...So Cal, Bay, Nor Cal starts north of Santa Rosa...check out a map note the distance of the Bay from Nor Cal like Eureka either or think what you want but if you state looking in Nor Cal when you are in the Bay seems a bit self defeating...good luck with finding a pup in the Bay...try the SFSPCA, Yorkie rescues there and again it depends on what you are looking for ie what type of Yorkie....try the appropriate Yorkie club for listings of breeders in the Bay Area...YTCA, Biewer Club, Colorful Yorkie Club, Parti Yorkie Clubs

| Several great breeders up your way. Pastyme Yorkies/Bob & Trisha Stacy. I would also check out the YTCA.org breeder referral pages.

| Concretegurl, thanks for the heads up about Meadowland Yorkies. I am very nervous about buying a Yorkie puppy. I bought a really sick Yorkie from a "breeder" in Dixon. Yorkieangel they were awful, they ended up going to jail for animal abuse and fraud (Yay) Haha on the Facebook link LMAO, Wilkiepedia (sp) says it is Northern CA, I guess Ive been mistaken where I live my whole life! I looked at those links, I think I am starting to fall in love with Parti Yorkies. Eden Valley has some beautiful pups, but may be out of my price range. I will definitly do my research this time. It just never crossed my mind that people would sell sick puppies. Thanks again for your tips |

| For the last quote go to the YTCA web site and look them up there Mardelin shows and would only recommend reputable breeders whom also show and have experience breeding Yorkies...she and the breeder she recommended breed standard Yorkies though and I saw on your other post you expressed interest in a Parti. I don't recommend or have anything to say about the breeder I sent you links about it's just the same stuff I'm looking at myself right now too so DO YOUR HOMEWORK on everyone you talk to...buy the breeder and not the pup. I'd be sure to not only get the answers you want but to check around here about the person, and ask for proof of everything they say like when someone say champion bloodline...you want to see the AKC pedigree if they don't show you-don't believe them, if they claim OFA certified heart and knees in the parent-you want to see the certification...etc. Be careful get everything in the contract, in writing and make sure you understand it and are willing to accept the terms of it...then post on here about your experience...when in doubt walk away! That's my new rule, also read the stikys about getting a pup and about breeders and just because you find a great breeder to get a pup from, don't take a pup just because it's there, be sure it has the personality that will fit your family lifestyle...any good breeder will ask you lots of questions ensuring you are the right fit for one of their pups-I've found the breeders who ask you a lot of questions and really scrutinizes who they let adopt their pups isn't selling you a dog...they are adopting to you and are more likely to be there when you need them for continual support and will stand behind their pup. Let us all know how it goes! Quote:

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Further on the health tests. It is better if you cross verify by going to the health registry sites themselves. You will need the full registered name of the Yorkie parents. You can start here www.chic.org this is a site that shows in one place some of the prebreeding/screening health tests done on Yorkies, CERF and OFA. Or as this is a relatively new requirement and many breeders have yet to submit their paperwork to chic; go to www.ofa.org for hips, elbows, knees (again the registered name of parents is required) and for eyes; www.cerf.org. Oh yes and some breeders are preferring PennHip registry. Liver Shunt testing has no main health database that I am aware of. Here you will need to see the Lab report on the test results for the breeding pair. Hyperurocosuria - Bladder stones. Go to University of davis. Cardio myleopathy - no health database Kidney/Liver disease - no health database On the AKC website www.akc.org you can check out the breeding pair's record of wins Also please check out the horizontal pedigree as well as the vertical pedigree. The vertical pedigree roughly speaking is that which is father/mother, grandfather/mother, greatgrand parents. The horizontal pedigree looks at siblings of the litter the parents come from. There are some studies which suggest that polygenetic conditions such as hip/elbow dysplasia is more accurately predicted by looking at within a certain litter, how many of that litter has/have the condition. Good luck with your search.

| Is something wrong with my browser? Because chic is a hacked search listing site for me ofa is a horticultural site and cerf is a coastal protection group... Here's the links I use to verify: Orthopedic Foundation for Animals Canine Health Information Center: CHIC Information CERF - CERF Information (Brochure) For the other testings the breeder's official vet records of having tested their dogs and the vet's "clean bill" or test results showing the absence of these defects is sufficient...also if you are really into it you can ask to see and verify their DNA record banked with the AKC which can be a critical thing to have a copy of and know is done prior to adoption...for Parti's the absence of inbreeding is critical! Again you'll need the AKC registration number, the breeders full contact information and their registration umber but I was told furthermore their permission thus they have to show you their proof and the individual registration number and then you can verify it by the test ID # anyone do this and actually know?
