I've searched every website I can find, and not found a single breeder within my state that fits the guidelines of a "good" yorkie breeder, and that's including the show breeders. It's frustrating when I just want to be the responsible owner of a pet yorkie! |
You keep looking. There isn't much more that you can do. All puppies look cute, and really it comes down to shopping for a breeder, not for a pup. As long as someone stands behind their dogs is a good breeder, and that means being there for their puppy's family. Also, someone that doesn't price dogs because of demand is a good breeder. For the most part, tinnies are special needs puppies. They require extra care. Wouldn't it be unfair to charge you an arm and a leg if for the rest of that dog's life you have to be extra careful? Just saying....
Edited to add...
If breeders are doing what you say (that I bolded) they are following economics 101. Supply and demand. They are treating living breathing creatures that feel emotions, feel hunger, happiness, illness, and everything you and I feel, and
they are treating their dogs no better than a toaster. That to me is sick sick sick, and shows that human behind the breeding program doesn't have ethics and morals.
