Want to Buy Teacup Yorkie in NY Area

[cb100]

I am looking to buy a teacup (3-4 pound) yorkie. Could you recommend breeders, pet stores, puppy nurseries? Or reputable websites with yorkie ads?

EVERYONE says they have top bloodlines. I don't know who to trust.

I do not want my puppy shipped but I would be willing to travel, preferably not more than 200 miles from NYC.

Please help!

Hi there! I live in Copenhagen, NY and currently have 1 tiny male available if you are interested. If you would like to chat, give me a call or send me a message. Oh, we are about 6 hours from NYC, but I have had many people come up and they say it is an easy trip. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your time!

I hope someone can help you...but you may want to rethink the pet store puppies. Also....watch out for www.puppyfind.com ..THAT site is full of scams - here is some more info on them - Beware of Scammers Puppyfind.com

There are members here who hopefully can steer you in the right direction....and I see someone already answered you.....good luck

THIS Is from the Prisoners of Greed site - 10 things to look for when buying a new puppy -

1. How many breeds of dogs do they breed. .....One is good, two is probably acceptable, no more.

2. How many dogs do they have. ......Ask how many litters they have every year. Ask how many puppies they sell and whether they sell any to petstores. Ask whether the breeder has a state or federal license.

3. Ask if you can see the dogs - all the dogs - not just the puppies. ..........Many puppymills have an area where they will bring the puppies to show to the public. You have to see where all the dogs live. We think all dogs should live in the house.

4. Ask what kind of genetic testing they have done on the dogs. Ask what health certificates they have for the dogs.

5. Ask for the name of their veterinarian and call them to find out how often they see the parents and confirm whether genetic testing has been done.

6. Ask for the names of five people who have bought puppies from them and then call the references.

7. Ask if the puppies are sold on a contract and then ask to see the contract. Ask if there is a warranty.

8. Ask whether the breeder will take back a dog regardless of the age if you are unable to take care of it.

9. Ask to see the pedigree and ask how many champions there are in the lineage.

10. Listen to whether the breeder asks you any questions. If the breeder doesn't care about the home that the puppy would be going to, then you don't want to buy from them.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, buy a dog in a petstore. Our research establishes that 98% of the dogs in petstores come from what we consider to be puppymllls. You are not saving that puppy, you are sentencing it's parents to lives of misery.
