Great advice from Yorkipower. Some people just assume that they would never be able to afford buying from a breeder whom is active in showing. Most pet shops, and most of the sites you find on-line charge so much more than these breeders would ever think of charging. Look at the prices of pups from places like yorkiepups of divapups, I could name dozens that charge more. Just do your research, talk to some people whom are members of YTCA, find a local club chapter, attend some shows and meet some breeders. At least this way you are going to see the quality of their line so you can have a good idea of what one of their pups will end up looking like. It may take a while for them to have a pet quality pup available but it's worth the wait. These people generaly are not mass producing for profit. Their goal is to breed a good qaulity pup...with hopes of producing another champ, they breed to improve the line. Pet quality isn't a bad thing. Here's the link to my album, Mia is "pet quality" and so is my maltese Bentley. I couldn't be happier with the way they have turned out. The are perfect to me :-)
