This is also a great place to find a breeder in your area. Email some of the breeders listed there.....they should be glad to answer your questions!
Good Luck! |
I didnt get the impression from this poster that breeding or showing was anything that they planned to do. It just sounds like they are looking for a companion pet so I stand behind telling them to look for one thats going to be on the larger side. This was based on my personal experience with kids and yorkies.
