Welcome to YorkieTalk. My name is Lisa, too. I hope you find your baby. They certainly bring so much love, laughter, and light to our lives. Buying from a reputable breeder who breeds for good health, temperament, structure, and conformation makes all of the difference in the world.
I agree with Ann about reaching out to Gemy. She has a wealth of knowledge about Yorkies and dogs in general. She does temperament testing on young pups and also helps to evaluate them. Three years ago I spent the day with her at the Yorkshire Terrier National Specialty in Manhattan, and I learned so much about movement, structure, and the breed that I've shared my life with for over thirty years. It was so fascinating and also wonderful to be sharing the day with such a dear friend. It is because of Gemy and my other very dear friend, Jackie, that I have my little girl, Katie. Gail's Razzle earned his American and Canadian championship, and he is also Grand Champion. Although she lives a distance from you, she is very familiar with other Canadian show breeders.
