I myself would not buy sight unseen from an unknown breeder with unestablished lines. |
I would also like to add "a prospective new owner" should not narrow your search just to YT breeders! There are alot of reputable breeders who do not advertise or need to advertise, or would not even think of ever advertising! Go to your local kennel club and see if they can refer you to a yorkshire terrier breeder in your area.. It is up to the prospective owner to do their homework and know what to look for in a reputable breeder and a healthy puppy! I think it is important to get to know who you are thinking of purchasing from, request references, vet reference.. If you are looking to show in conformation make sure you purchase from a reputable show breeder who have championed their dogs and are actively showing..
