I am in desperate need of referrals to good professional breeders. I've been researching since December wanting a tiny yorkie and so far have had nothing but bad experiences. I went on breeders.net and have been in contact with two breeders. One was very unprofessional as she was not stable emotionally when we met for the appt to see the puppies. The second breeder sold me a puppy that at the time was fine but ended up being sick (lethargic practically lifeless, that was vomitting, and blood in his stool). The second breeder did refund me my money after I had my vet speak to her but she then became unprofessional playing on my feelings saying I was a bad owner and that the dog was just stressed. Very different to my vet's opinion.
So now I am in search for a local breeder in S. California that is reputable selling healthy puppies minus all the scam and heartache. I'm even considering an older yorkie 1 year old. Anyone have an opinion on purchasing an older dog?
Thank you for your time. Greatly appreciate your opinion.
