There is a lot of good info at the top of this section on what to look for and stay away from in a breeder.
Christmas is a stressful time and it's a time when people make impulsive pet purchases and the shelters fill up soon after. So if you research most good breeders do not sell puppies on purpose for that time.
Good luck! |
Let me add the Breeder Referral Contact is Doreen Hubbard/Yorkboro Yorkshire Terriers lives in Washington. She has insight to who has puppies, but also has been one of the top breeders for decades.
And you're right reputable breeders will not allow puppies to go home at the holidays. Too much stress on the puppy. To much activity and a pup needs constant care and watching. The possibilty of hyperglycemia from over handling, busy schedules not allowing for proper monitoring, and guests coming in and out can lead to a puppy getting lost.
