Needless to say I decided She was not the breeder for me. Now I have Found A promising breeder who has two females that will be ready the day after my birthday! They are $800 each and Continental Kennel Club. I absolutely fell in love with the smaller female. But there are a few things I'm not sure about, I think in her contract or whatever it was, she stated that she only has a 48 hour guarantee. In the resources page on her site this was one of the statements: "I, the seller, am not responsible for veterinary fees or any other expenses incurred once the puppy leaves my home."

At 16 years old, you are looking for a pet, right? The reason the breeder is requiring you to have her spayed is because this breeder has probably spent years ensuring her "line" is healthy, and is likely willing to stand behind the puppies, hopefully for life. If she lets even one puppy go on an open registration, allowing a breeding that can be registered, it will ruin all her hard work. You really want to focus on getting an AKC registered puppy to ensure the purity of the breed and health of the dog. Trust me and everyone else who is going to respond to your questions and objections to the first breeder. AKC is the ONLY reputable registration available for pure bred dogs. And, the health guarantee is going to be a priority if you want to ensure your puppy will have a long, healthy, happy life. Please do more research, even on Yorkie Talk (
Sick & Injured / Emergencies Talk - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community), so that your are well informed about your decision.
When you do finally bring your new puppy home make sure you post photos!
