I wouldn't trust too many of the people selling yorkies in the classifieds. I had been reading up a lot before I got my puppy and my breeder told me that business is usually good enough that good breeders do not need to advertise. Also, never buy from a pet store. Definitely you should know how much experience the breeder has breeding these specific dogs, ask him many specific questions about the breed that not just anybody would know (i.e. specific health conditions).
I started looking for my yorkie at ytca.org. They list reputable breeders there. One woman I was talking to referred me to someone that had puppies available. She emails and calls me nearly eveyday to check up on the baby and give me tips and advice. It was a very easy process and I'm glad I took the time and effort to go through finding my puppy from a responsible breeder. |
