This is part of why people start looking all over the place, and can end up with a poorly bred/sickly yorkie.
One thing to try is PMing w/ a few of the members here at YorkieTalk. If you like the look of someone's pup - maybe try private messaging them and asking if the pup is healthy, and if the breeder is good. Also see if the breeder has a website, where you can evaluate how they represent their yorkies, and the breed in general.
Lastly, if you find a breeder you may like, post here and ask other's opinions.  |
Sorry, but I have to disagree. Most of the YTCA breeders that I know of will respond to pet breeders but like Lorraine said, weekends are not a good time. Most do prefer a phone call to an email as they like to talk to and evaluate the type of home one has to offer. It may take some time, but it's worth the effort to find a good reputable breeder. Web sites can be deceiving so you must be very careful. Good luck in your search.
