Welcome to YT!!! Many YT members will give you great advice on how to look for a breeder. The "breeder" you mentioned, I'd stay far far far away...sounds like a puppy broker to me. Many would suggest finding a breeder from YTCA.org. There are breeders listed in CA there. Also, make sure the breeder doesn't advertise "teacups" and that they don't sell any other breed. Make sure the breeder only focuses on YT breed. Good breeders will also ask about you to ensure their pups to quality homes and often have puppy applications too. Also, wanted to mention, good breeders will have contract and health guarantee. You need to read the contract and the health guarantee to make sure it's legit. Good luck in your search!! I'm sure there will be many more advices coming your way in the morning!
