The problem is that we have no idea on how to go about finding our right match! We live in south suburban Chicago and I have searched online for Illinois breeders, but so many of them just seem so shady. So, I figured, who better to ask than those who have been through it? We are looking for a [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]puppy[/COLOR], but are open to the idea of an [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]older [COLOR=green !important]dog[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]. We would prefer a male as a companion for Lola, but not for breeding; Lola is spayed. She just seems to get along better with males and I can't put myself through another major spaying operation right now! The most important thing is that he is the right fit for Lola. This is why we are hoping to find a reputable breeder who will let us visit their home, meet the puppy's parents, and allow us to make an informed decision. We have searched all of the local shelters, but none of them seem to have what we are looking for right now. I have allergies so we would prefer a purebred.[/COLOR] I would really appreciate and love to hear any suggestions you may have. After all, you are the experts on this subject! Thanks in advance from both Lola and myself! "
Would anyone from the midwest or especially Illinois care to share where they got they Yorkies or recommend places to look into? Thanks. |
Have you considered Michigan? We got our first yorkie (Chase) last summer. I did tons of research, and found a GREAT breeder. She answered all my questions (I had alot!), and made me feel completly at ease with her. She really loves her babies! A couple months ago I felt it was time to add another yorkie (they are addictive
). I looked around, and every time I found one that I might be interested in, I would show my boyfriend, and he would say no. Well, I talked to our breeder in early/mid March, and she just had puppies. I talked to my boyfriend again, and he said yes. He just wanted to make sure we got our next one from a good breeder, like Chase. We LOVE Brenda Green, and will be bringing home Calvin from her next week
The puppies are socialized, healthy, and truely loved. Chase was soooo easy to potty train too! I have gotten pictures and videos every week, so it's almost like I'm right there with him. She really does go that extra distance with us new parents. Her name on here is Breny, and her website is
