I just bought my first show yorkie. I spent as much time researching the breeders as I did their lines because I knew the breeder would have to be someone I would feel comfortable dealing with for a very long time. If it wasn't for Moxie's breeder, then I would have been completely lost! She is super helpful and answers all of my questions very quickly. She even came to a show JUST to help me with Moxie. It is going to be very hard to have that kind of a relationship with someone who is out of the country.

Personally, just because I have recently done as you are doing, I would look for a reputable, show breeder who is actively showing in your area so that you can have help when you need it!
