I posted about a month ago looking for a breeder....
Since then, I've attended local dog shows and met with a few breeders locally.
We also *Adopted* a 14 year old yorkie, Cassie, who has brought soooo much happiness back into our lives! May I add, I just couldn't imagine parting with my pet EVER... but at 14?! Who does that?!
Either way, this happy little girl is loving her life over here

BUT we are STILL looking for the "right" breeder.
We are ultimately looking for two puppies. One more traditional, the other not so much. For the traditional I believe we are satisfied with the breeders we've spoken to/met.
We met with Jana at Premirror yorkies yesterday and will be meeting with Charmine with Charkara yorkies sometime this week!

For the 'less traditional' yorkie I'm at a loss. My Phoebe was Perfection! At least in my eyes... she was larger then most traditional yorkies (7 1/2-8lbs) and was gold and BLACK in color. Her coat was a mix between cotton and silk... when she was freshly groomed she felt more silky, but naturally, it seemed thicker and almost like cotton compared to our other traditional (Kahlua).

Now I know Phoebe wasn't bred to standard.. so I guess I'm not looking for standard and maybe I need to look away from the show breeders to find this type of yorkie. What I don't want is a backyard breeder, a puppy mill, or someone who is carelessly breeding for money.
If ANYONE has any good references for a breeder (not show breeder) that may produce yorkies (size doesn't matter too much) with more compact bodies, black and gold in color, and a thicker coat, PLEASE let me know!!

I'm having issues posting pictures of Phoebe to give you all an idea of what I'm looking for :/
Thank you in advance!!!
