| Canadian Yorkies in the U.S. - 2 Questions I think that some of the U.S. yorkies here may have come from breeders in Canada. are there special considerations to factor in when considering a breeder in another country? I know nothing about things like quarantines or separate health inspections, or anything like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One Canadian breeder site I was just looking at is : Welcome! / Bienvenue! Does anyone have experience with them? The number or breeds and mixes are a concern to me

| WOW !! ........ I'd be real concerned too ...... almost looks like a *mill* with all those mixes being offered ...... ya gotta wonder if they are just letting their bitches breed with whatever comes along when they're in heat ..... I think I'd be looking somewhere else .... if it were me. |

| I would stay away from them. Too many different breeds. General rule of thumb.. if more than 3 different breeds they are usually considered a puppy mill. Good luck in your search!! |

| Durrers Yorkies are from Canada. She is very reputable and alot of her Yorkies are here in the States as well as alot of other countries. She has been a breeder and an exhibitor for around 30 years. Go to sweetyblue.com to see her many champions and the quality of her dogs. I would not hesitate to buy a dog from her. Just as I would research the American bred dogs and breeders, I would research the Canadian breeders before purchasing a Yorkie.

| My male BISS AM/CAN CH Groveshire's Under the Radar came from Canada and I am from the US and I researched the Canadian breeder as I would have an American or any other breeder. I didn't have to quarantine him when he came to the US. Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers |

| Thank you all for your input. Looking at the site now makes me ill. I appreciate the info about quarantining too-- it would break my heart if I had to put my baby in quarantine like they require for pets coming in from overseas...
