We just want a healthy happy puppy that will live a long healthy/happy life. I think the reason their prices are so high is because they are all show dogs that they are breeding.
I met Bonnie Johnson (Nikis2) through this forum. She has three dogs that are pregnant now and told me she would notify me when the pups were born. She seemed very knowledgeable. She also said when the puppies are ready, we can go and see them and meet mom, grandmom, and great grandmom.
We just wanted to know if anyone has worked with her or knows anything about her? Thank you so much! |
I'd contact Steve Glass for the best referral in that area. He won't sugar coat anything and he doesn't benefit in any regard. If you have a great home, you
should be able to find a nice pet on for much less now, show home or not!
Personally, I don't like having three liters at one time. IMO that's not about betterment of the breed. It's just me, I like to give lots of hands on attention. I realize there is a supply demand and if this breeder is great, I take it back. I've never heard of her. Either way, go to Steve's website and email him asking him for your referral. If you only want a YTCA, he'll let you know that as well. It's
www.yorkies.com He doesn't tell people where his come from, he isn't promoting anyone.
