Welcome to YT, Barb! You have landed smack dab in the middle of hundreds of like minded Yorkie lovers specifically, pet lovers in general....Are you searching for a new member for your family? You have, in your very first sentence, articulated the very most important thing you can learn....Buyer Beware! If you are actively searching for a new pup, attend shows, chat with show breeders, research, research, research....know what a Yorkie SHOULD be, SHOULD look like....if you see a breeder with pups that dont even LOOK like a Yorkie, dont even go there! ANY list of breeders you come across, anyplace, has the potential of having "bad apples" included in the group. You have to "sweep and cull" breeders from any list you are looking at.....word of mouth from people that have purchased from a breeder....that have had their baby for a year or more, because THAT is someone, who if there have been any issues with their baby, they would have shown up by then probably, and you will get an idea of HOW the BREEDER worked with the owner....buy your breeder first, and the breeder will have your baby..... |
