Before I got Ginger, I contacted the local dog club as well at YTCA for their breeder lists.

Finally, we took our chances, and found a local "backyard breeder" in the paper. I figured at least that way I wasn't supporting a puppy mill (at least it didn't seem that way)
I agree and understand the need for quality breeders. But what do poor pet-buyers like me do when the time comes to bring a new canine family member into our lives?
Sometime in the next year or two we'll be looking to add another yorkie to our family, should we really have to begin the search now?
I'd love your input... |
Yes do look in advance. A great breeder does not breed alot so we place our puppies quickly, but you are in a great area with some top beeders. When you are ready let me know and I will put you in touch with some super breeders over there that are reputable, have quality dogs and will be there for you. Also these people would be happy to talk to you at shows or just on the phone. A lot of my pet owners wait until I have something available. So you do want to start talking to them now and let them know you will wait for that wonderful little baby to add to your home. Good luck.
