I just want to reiterate what has already been said here, investigate, Investigate, INVESTIGATE who you are buying from. Georgia has some really good breeders, but it's also got a lot of HORRID ones. We are one of those states that has minimal protections and laws in place pertaining to breeding. Dogs are considered just property. We also don't have a puppy lemon law. It truly is Buyer Beware, here. Some of the greeders I met with before getting Rhett would make your toes curl! They are the reason I ended up going the rescue route instead. I saw some dogs that were so sick that I left the greeders house and immediately contacted animal control. I'm thankful that YT was here for me to refer to during that time, even though I hadn't signed up as a member yet. If it hadn't been here, I would have probably walked away with the first ill and poorly bred Yorkie that I ran across, just to "save" it. Thanks to YT, I knew if I did that, I would be effectively promoting and rewarding the greeders. Someday I'll tell you all the full stories on my furbutts, Scarlett's is especially sad. |
Yes, there are some GREAT breeders in your area and if I"m not mistaken I directed Jrsy to some of those breeders or offered to help get her in contact with a a few I know on a personal basis and I also let her know that I had a good friend with a puppy available but it wasn't a tiny and tried to help but oh well she wanted a tiny.
