I'm not sure what to do...I miss Tink so much and we decided to get another puppy. I got Tink when I was 19 and knew nothing about anything! Now I want to be sensible; hence trying to digest everything on YT - thank you.

I worry that the breeder I have chosen is ethical and I worry about training and there is so much conflicting advice and the KC in the UK is under such scrutiny I wonder if I can actually trust them.

So I called the breeder that Tink was from (16 years ago). She is still breeding and still breeding Yorkies, she doesn't ever advertise and she is no rush for me to go there. I'm taking all of this as good signs...she has 2 litters, about 5 weeks apart and we can go and see them next Friday.
Maybe I will feel better when I see her (and them) and can ask some more detailed questions. People have puppies now, but I think a breeder that produced a dog that lived until 16 must make some decent choices...

I know you guys will know stuff - help!
