While I could understand not feeling comfortable advertising your babies on the internet (i might take that route as well, I will probably just place puppies with people I know and family), but how do you feel about buying from breeders that advertise on the net, would ever buy from them or you think I should stay clear? |
You would go up to the exhibitors "AFTER" they show LOL
And you're not asking silly questions at all...attend several shows first watch the yorkies in the ring figure out what kind of yorkie you like. Just watch for awhile until you feel comfortable approaching someone. Some show breeders can be mean but once you prove yourself wanting to do this and committing yourself you'll gain their trust. I'm a nice person LOL. I love to talk yorkies but again I'm still considered new even after showing just 4 years but I wouldn't sell a show yorkie to anyone yet because I don't feel comfortable doing it since I am still trying to develop my own eye for a good show dog. Until I know I feel confident in my own choices with my own breeding then only will I sell a show dog but to only those I know. I would never buy from online. I have certain breeders I would buy from anyway and they don't advertise their dogs for sale on the internet or paper.
I hope this helps in some way. Feel free to ask anything and I'll try and answer the best way I can.
