Here's YTs guide from the library (it's found in the Forums list under Yoda the Yorkie's head): Guide to Finding a Reputable Breeder Here's a list to current AKC suspensions that may help you sift out those undesirables (sometimes people will register with other non-reputable registries when they've been suspended or removed from AKC): http://www.akc.org/about/secretarys_page.cfm Also, I’d like to mention if you use YorkieTalk’s Search function, (use the Advanced Search to see all of the search options) there’s a Tag box where you can put in a Breeder’s name to search YT for threads related to a chosen breeder. You'll find all kinds of discussions; some good, some bad so that's why researching the breeder first is so very important! |
If anyone reading this needs help researching a breeder I'd be glad to help as would several other long time users of YorkieTalk.
