We tried everything to save him when he was diagnosed with renal failure and his numbers were excellent at his passing but he was diagnosed just after his 14th birthday with a neurological disorder that the neurologist said was a tumor. it has been devastating for us. At times both of us are inconsolable as this was not that long ago. We are looking forward to our new baby after some more time has passed. We are responsible, loving, compassionate Yorkshire Terrier lovers ~ after Gizzy we could never think of having another breed ~ and we are grateful that we have found a compassionate, loving breeder willing to share her family with us. I did not realize how difficult it would be to find a responsible breeder who would do that. Thank you all again for your kindness.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Glad to hear you've found a good breeder from your contacts. And as I said before, echoing Mary's advice; you buy your breeder first. It can be difficult to find a pet from a reputable breeder/exhibitor because they breed only for themselves to better the breed. But I can't wait to see your new baby and hear all about him. I'm sure he will be perfect.

It took time ~ in our grief we cam close twice to choosing a breeder that was not on the YTCA list. There always seemed to be something that did not set right with me and so we continued the search. Most of you who are associated with the YTCA and listed know her I'm sure, though I would rather not divulge who it is until after we pick up the baby. We were determined to do this right and pay a fair price although it is a bit far and I am disappointed in not hearing from more FL breeders listed. Of course after we made the commitment I did hear from a YTCA listed breeder just around the corner from us who has 2 males available. Figures right? Thanks Again.

Cool. I do know all the YTCA breeders in Texas. If I'd known that was where you were heading I'd have paved the way for you. Looks like you did ok by yourself.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

By the way it wouldn't hurt to go visit the Florida breeder. This is a big committment and you would do well by visiting several breeders.
