Vicky,
I was in the same boat as you are now. Here's my story and how I got through it.
Found a breeder but no puppies. Loved the looks of one of the studs. A friend who is a breeder bred her female with that particular stud. I talked to her and all was tentative as to if she had any females and how many. One was already spoken for. Well she had 2 females so I was upset because I really wanted a pup by that particular stud. Well another breeder friend told me that the studs owner was expecting 5 litters by him. I got excited and got up enough nerve to call. Mind you I want to show this pup so I needed full registration. I was preparing for the worst case scenario. Well after talking to her awhile we came to an agreement. I had decided on a particular female but had two other back up moms to choose from if my first choice had no girl. Needless to say a few days before I was to call back the breeder had a heart attack and was hospitalized. In the meantime her family was helping with the 5 whelping females. They hadn't realized we had a price set and quoted a price that was way more than previously agreed. I was devastated but I knew I had to look elsewhere. So I started searching again. about a week later I get an email saying that they had talked to their mom and the original price was back on due to the breeder telling them she had already told me I could have her at the agreed price. This all happened during April. May 3 I went to the breeders home and saw every single Yorkie she had and I knew the little girl was mine deposit was paid and we went home. This Saturday I finally get to go pick her up. All this time waiting I occupied myself with getting a room ready for my 3 soon to be 4. sewing for my two girls and for my friends grooming shop. oh and lots of shopping. And I learned how to knit.
