Hi everyone! This is my first post here, although I have been lurking for months now. We are moving to our new house within the next month or so and then, FINALLY I will have the space to get my first yorkie! I did so much research when I decided to actually get a dog and I found so many lovers of yorkies, that I knew it was the breed for us! I am a single mom of one beautiful daughter and now that she is almost four, I am looking for something else to pour my love onto!:
(Plants don't cut it for me)
I want to be totally prepared when I get my yorkie, not fumbling for info at the last minute. HERE is where my problem begins! I have looked for breeders in Washington, my state, but there aren't many. I also need one with reasonable prices, as there is not a lot of extra money around here these days. So I now am reluctantly looking for a breeder who ships puppies. Is this ok? It seems kind of harsh on a little one. . . .?? Also, there are so many yorkie breeder sites!! How did most of you choose? I don't want to lose my money and not get a puppy, obviously! I also don't want to support a bad breeder or one that is just in it for the money, etc. I am looking at a couple of ones online, Wagin'Tails yorkies and Oh Puppy Love. The latter has some warning flags though-"tea cups" and "tinies"! (ARen't these pups tiny enough at 5-7 pounds?!?!) I have enough to carry as a single mom, I don't need a designer dog! I just want a good puppy friend for me and my daughter! Anyway, just wanted to vent my puppy-finding stress and say hi to you all and I hope that I can become a great yorkie owner soon!Thanks for your time and If you have any advice I would love to hear it!!
