I'm in Fl and got Chloe from a breeder in Atlanta and Lacey from a breeder about 1 1/2 hrs away. I would definitely want to see the home or know without a doubt that the breeder is reputable, the puppies are in a clean, loving home environment, its preferable to see the parents as well. And, that was before I found this website. Now, I feel even stronger about making that home visit. Definitely avoid Pet Stores. Rescues are great but older yorkies can be a little hard to train out of bad habits, it might require a lot of patience. However, now I know there are a lot of very nice yorkies in rescue who need love and are worth it. Also, we have several breeders on this site, another bit of news I was unaware of when I got mine. Lastly, yorkies are wonderful pets and not everyone is a good owner candidate. They require attention and love, so someone who isn't home much might want another pet. |
