I know what you are going through trying to find a reputable breeder that you can trust. It took me quite a while to find a good breeder that I trusted...I called and sent e-mails to SEVERAL breeders...We live in Mass and were willing to travel...yes even to PA where my husband is from...I really wanted to buy local...some of the "breeders" I spoke with had WAY to many red flags for me and their prices were insane...they also pointed out to me that these were "tinies" or show quality...this was NOT what I was looking for. I wanted a pet...I ended up buying from a featured breeder here on YT...I LOVE HER!! We spoke a couple of times and I KNEW she was the one I wanted to buy from..She does show and has champion yorkies...Breeders that breed for show don't always get show quality...I also went on AKC.org...breeders have to pay to be here...doesn't mean they are all "good" breeders...I found that out! If you go to a breeders site and you get pop ups (this happened to me) ...*delete*!...most likely a mill, or broker... (MO)...I wish you luck...I am VERY happy with our new little guy, Bentley, and would buy from this breeder again in a heartbeat!...just keep calling and asking questions...if a flag comes up...walk away...not very easy when they send pictures of them though!
