Need a Puppy! A.S.A.P.

[princessgracie]

Hello

Does anyone have any suggestions on breeders. I have my little baby Gracie and she has a little separation anxiety, so I want to get her a brother or a sister to keep her company. But Here in Connecticut It is very difficult to find a breeder and Yesterday I went to a pet shop and the Yorkie that they had there It was 2,600 . So is there anyone who knows of a breeder that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for a Yorkie? Please Help My little baby needs a Friend. My budget limit is 700 dollars!

I know my posts are so often filled with "telling others exactly how I feel", but can I please give you some advise? I understand completley that you want to get your Gracie a playmate A.S.A.P...But PLEASE and I repeat PLEASE do NOT RUSH INTO A PURCHASE UNTIL YOU HAVE RESEARCHED BREEDERS, ETC.

Remember, a puppy/dog is for a lifetime and if you don't do your research you could be dealing with a basket filled with problems. I just think it is NOT worth EVER to RUSH INTO something as IMPORTANT AS A NEW DOG.
In the long run it will be so worth it to know you have fully done your research.

I wish you the best in finding a great companion for Gracie, and when you do please let us know as we will all be thrilled for you.

Please do not buy one from a pet store, more than likely they came from a puppy mill.
