It's not easy to find an ethical breeder in Georgia. Unfortunately, animals are treated as property here and it's pretty much buyer beware.

I would start with the YTCA website, breeder referral section.
Yorkshire Terrier Dog Breeders- Yorkie Puppies

Get to know what ethical breeding practices consist of, as well as current recommendations for health testing and how long to keep puppies with their dams and litter mates.

Georgia has no laws regarding health guarantees, so you will find that the less than stellar breeders offer none to some worth less than the paper they are printed on.

Also, just because a breeder claims the dogs are AKC doesn't mean the dogs are healthy or good representatives of the breed.

Take your time and don't fall for the first cute face. Your caution and research ahead of time can save you much heartache in the future.
