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.
I agree. when I 1st started my search, as most I was directed to YTCA. And to be honest only 3 of maybe 5/6 breeders actually got back to me. I was told the same thing about shows on the weekends and how they don't have much time...so i tried over on weekdays & even at specific times... but the others still didn't respond.

The ones that did respond either didnt have puppies...had one pup who was WAYYY outta my price range....or just seemed plain rude. ( I think its because I sound young on the phone. LOL)
So I've been lurking around here following some YT breeders...or PM'ing some YTers about their breeders.

Its about to be a YEAR I've been on my Yorkie search and I'm cool with it, because I've learned alot (and still learning soooo much).

And plus my Momma always told me "Good things come to those who wait."
