Can anyone give me advice on what to look for in finding my female baby? I am fairly new to YT, I have been enjoying reading about everyone’s babies and trying to educate myself as much as possible before I find my baby. One of the things I have noticed is that the more I look at the ad’s the more I worry if they are scams. I have read that these scams are really common. I have found some that I believe to be scams, but how do I know if it is real? There are ad’s that say puppies will be ready in three weeks, $150.00 non refundable lets you pick the puppy of your choice. How do I know they won’t up and move or change their mind? Some of the ad’s give phone numbers and e mail address’s but the phone number does not work.(KSL.com is one of our local sites but even the local online newspaper’s are full of questionable ad’s) Others claim to be local but the phone number isn’t or if you look deeper they are charging a shipping fee. I know there are reputable breeders out there but I can’t seem to find any local.
I see so many ad’s that say “Free for adoption” is this a way to charge for a different kind of fee? I look at some of these and I don’t see how or why they would advertise these puppy’s for free. I know I am full of questions but I would like to eventually breed my baby and want her registered. What do I need to walk away with when I get my puppy? Will they have an actual paper that allows me to register them at that time? I guess what I need are questions to ask the breeder. I probably want a lot on the budget I have. I have been rambling on, I apologize, I just have so many questions and can’t wait to share future experiences with you all. Can I ask some questions of you and maybe I can be better prepared when looking?
1. What do I need to ask the breeder for in registering the puppy
2. I want small but not so small she can’t breed, anyone know how many pounds she should be?
3. Any idea of a reasonable price of a small registered female?
4. Does anyone have any breeder names and numbers for Utah?
I know there are sites but most of them link to something else.
5. Does anyone understand these adoption ads, are any of them real and if so are their hidden fees elsewhere?

I am so excited at the prospect of finding my puppy!!! I have a name all picked out for her! (Celine) Okay yes I am a fan of Celine Dione but I have always loved the name!
Thank you so much!!!
