There is a thread listing what we would look for in finding the right breeder, but it is ultimately up to the member to do their homework before finding their Yorkie. We also clearly state we have no affiliation with any breeders or groups, and we also have strict guidelines for listing an ad, including requiring name, phone number, and email address.
We believe buyers have the right to ask questions publically and we think that is the best method. No breeders are required to post their Yorkie For Sale ads here on YorkieTalk and there are many other places people can post ads if breeders do not agree with our policies. |
Also ... there is a wealth of research information here at YT which is available to prospective new Yorkie owners. If those looking to buy a Yorkie would use the "search" feature, they can certainly be well informed. If a thread becomes too dramatic or too controversial ... don't read or get involved. A lot of good breeders who used to be here gave some really good advice and were eager to help simply for the love of the breed ... that information is still here although they are not.
