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."  |
A lot of good advice has been offerred here. YTCA is a good starting point, but don't totally dismiss other sources. Around my area there are very few YTCA members, and of those listed many haven't been active in breeding in years. I know several good New England breeders who are still serving out their "apprenticeships," or whatever you call the 2 year wait to earn sponsorship in order to become eligible, or, as in my case, gave up the quest as hopelessly political or non-helpful. I started breeding Yorkies as a 50 year old professional woman who was very willing to learn, but not to grovel, which is what would have been required.
