Georgia I went to Meetup.com and joined some groups in my area. There was a gentlemen that posted some pictures of his girls and they were just stunning. I sent him an email. He asked what particularly I was looking for. And I said a darker colored yorkie that would stay sort of small.
I was afraid of buying from a backyard breeder who could breed genetic defects or you know...potential dangers.
Anyway, the breeder actually actively shows his dogs. She just happened to be too dark and small...which are not points for showing but it was what I wanted...lol...
He has answered all my questions, given me advice and I am really confident with the whole transaction. That was important to me. He has referred me to a great vet in the area that specializes in the small breeds.
Alot of people try to sell Tea cup yorkies or these 2 lb yorkies and then they have problems later in life that will cost alot of money to the vets. This is really scary to think about when you are buying a dog. I mean it is sooooo hard to be confident and comfortable. So I think it is a little more then I was planning to spend, but the quality of this dog gives me peace of mind.
If you want to contact him about any other dogs he has available, give me your email and I will pass it along. He is very involved in placing them in a good home. I dont think he just sells them to any body. He kind of gives you an interview.
lol...I guess I am lucky now that i have reread this! haha! |
