I would think you would want to purchase a puppy closer to home so you can go look at the mom and dad and the conditions where the pups are being raised. I am not trying to sway you one way or another as I do not have any experience with SET but I would encourage you to look at breeders closer to your home and by looking at the Yorkshire Terrier Club's website. Here is a link - Yorkshire Terrier Club of America and regardless of where ever you buy your puppy from, I wish you the very best! These little ones are phenomenal and I cannot wait to add a sister for Jack to our family. Hopefully around the end of summer....  |
Yeah I know what you mean, which is why I am a bit nervous. I contacted about 20 breeders on the referral website from YTCA and got replies from maybe about 3-4 saying they would actually have a puppy. The one I am interested in as a breeder (HiHopesYorkies) seems to really care about her pups but she said to contact her in the summer to see if any are available. SET Yorkies allows you to be put on a waiting list so I am definitely going to get a puppy eventually, and most likely in my time frame but I am not sure which route to go. SET Yorkies offers spaying before the puppies are shipped which might be better as the breeder has a lot of experience with her vet I am sure so it might be better that way.
