| Looking for a breeder in Ohio What a wonderful site! I have been browsing for a couple of months now, and I thought it was high time I join! I am new to the puppy scene. I have two small children (5 and 7yrs.) so I wanted to wait about a year before we get a Yorkie (my all time favorive breed! ). My children are good with animals, but I just wanted to make sure getting a puppy was a good experience all around (for us and the puppy). I am looking for a breeder in Ohio, as I do not want to have a puppy shipped across the country. Here are some questions that I have: Is it too soon to start looking for a breeder? How will I know when I find a good one? You guys are the best! Thanks in advance for any advice! |

| HI!! Welcome to YT, you will love it here!! I can tell you a few good breeders in Ohio that I know of. Linda Steele, user name is lksdolls and her website is www.garlinyorkies.info Linda is a great caring woman who really loves all her yorkies. I got my Destiny from her and hope to some day get another one from her. There are a few yt members who have pups from her and they will all tell you the same. I recommend her to everyone, she always has gorgeous healthy puppies and is always honest with you. The next two breeders, I have not gotten a yorkie from them personally but they are both great breeders. Next breeder is www.countryyorkies.com I was going to get a pup from Cindy but I went to Linda's first and fell in love with Destiny. I talked to her and she is also a great woman who loves her yorkies. Next breeder is Sunset Yorkies, http://www.freewebs.com/sunsetyorkies/ Faith is also a member on YT. She too is a wonderful woman who loves and really cares about her yorkies. Her male Spike, is Destiny's half brother. And Spike of course came from Linda. All 3 are wonderful caring breeders and you can't go wrong with any of them!! Oh and I decided I was going to wait a year until I got a second yorkie, but like her name says, Destiny, just had to come and be a part of my life. But I orginally did search months ahead of time before I decided to get Destiny, (I too wanted to find a good breeder and get to know them before I got a puppy), it just was more like 6 months rather than a year. So you never know, you may get your yorkie sooner than you think!! But it certaintly isn't too soon to look for a breeder!! Good luck finding your yorkie baby to love!!

| Thanks MyTrixie! I will definitely look into these. I have done a Google search for an Ohio breeder, but I have not found too many there. Thanks again for your guidance! PS. I have become addicted to this site! I just don't know what's wrong with me! I am having so much fun reading everyone's threads I just can't stop! |

| Thanks Faith! I have put your website into my favorites list. My mother-in-law lives in Chillicothe and we go to visit often! I'm not sure if I have gotten a little ahead of my self or not, but...... Do I need to go on a waiting list this early? I am interested in getting a female when the time is right, and I think sometimes there is more of a demand for the girls, right? Maybe I should ask it this way....... How soon should I contact you when we know we are ready? You guys have all been so helpful! Thanks, Steph |

| www.stellaryorkies.com I have not bought from her, but from everything that I have seen thus far, she looks like a very reputable breeder. She has all her pups bile acid tested and full blood panels on them before she sells them to ensure that you have a healthy pup. You know what you are getting when you buy from her. She's such a nice lady too...She's a member of YorkieTalk...Her username is YorkieRini, I think. Take a look at her website. And no, it's not too soon to start looking for the right breeder It's good to have a relationship with your breeder before you actually get your dog. Good luck!!
