I'm mostly concerned about finding a good (reasonably priced) breeder near'ish to me. Though I doubt I'll be able to find both, let alone any time soon. We'll just have to see.
Thanks again though everyone! |
I always recommend the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America. These people are in good standing with the America Kennel Club.
http://www.ytca.org/breeder4.html There are a lot listed in Florida, and if I were you, I would e-mail several that were closest to me. The people listed don't always have websites since they don't always have puppies available. You can then get to know them and see their breeding stock, so you will have a great idea of what the puppy will look like full grown. A good breeder can give you tons of great information. The price of these dogs are often less than that of pet stores where the puppies come from puppymills. Buying through websites is very risky because many of these are just puppy brokers, and what you see is not what you get. Ethical breeders are more conscientious of screening for health problems and this will save you money and heartache in the long run. Good luck with you search!
