Another question- has anyone heard of Blue diamond Yorkies? Opinions? AKC yorkies for sale |
As hard as it may be, try hard not to fall in love with puppy pictures. The thing is, all puppies are cute - so if you are unlucky and are in contact with a bad breeder, you'll fall in love with a bad breeder's photo.
Most will suggest, and I concur, to find the perfect breeder. Me personally, it was a requirement to meet the breeder in person and have a conversation with them, see the puppies from time to time until they were ready to be picked up at 12 weeks +, and see the mom/sire of the puppy. I just didn't feel comfortable purchasing my baby over the internet. So...I won't comment on the above breeder.
And, more importantly, it's a super good idea that you're saving up for now. Try to save much more than the $2000 for the puppy. You'll need money for supplies (dog bed, crate/pen, toys, leash etc...) and you'll want a vet-fund or pet insurance fund in case your little one gets sick. You really don't want to be caught with a sick puppy and not being able to afford to give it medical help.
