I do have the AKC records of both parents going back 5 generations. My female has several generations of Champion show dogs though I do not show mine.

If your dam has so many Ch in her line then you should ask your mentor, or whom ever you got her from. Most likely, a well bred dog with such great lines has a waiting list for its offspring. Ask your mentor and she should steer you in the right direction.

Thank you Brianna. I will check that site out.

The breeder I got my Dam from is not within my state or I would. I will only sell within a distance I can deliver to personally. I am a bit tired tonight to get the documents out, but will be happy to list the Champs for the last 5 generations that I have on her registration. I actually got a kick out of looking all of them up when I got the generation list with my AKC papers for her.

My apologies if this sounds snippy...I'm still a little put out for being attacked over asking a simple question.

Here is one of my little ones playing outside.

This is another of my males, but his ears are just now starting to stand.

Well reputable breeders have spay and neuter contracts and only make exceptions for that when they have known and trusted some one for a long time. I am concerned with you just letting any of the people who buy your puppies breed them. Even when you think a person would do the right thing and be a good owner or breeder they can turn out not to be and it is your job to protect these pups. You may think the person you are selling to is going to be awesome but people can play other people and trick and fool them. What if some one breeds your pup to death for money, making them pop out litter after litter until the pup is to weak or to old and then becomes trash to them? You really have to protect these puppies.

I know several breeders who are YTCA and list here:

Qualifier: I am not a breeder...

And I too would recommend you don't sell with breeding rights because not everyone is going to be as diligent as you have been and glad to see that you have done your background checking.

With AKC reg, offer a contract of no breeding, and a one year or more genetic guarantee and with the proper papers on line testing, and with beautiful yorkies, you should be able to get that price in many locations.

I think your decision is good regarding staying away from Craigslist.

Your puppies are gorgeous. Have you asked all your neighbors, family members and closet friends if they were interested, even your vet may know of ppl looking, ask your vet if you can post puppies for sale in the waiting room, my vet allows this. Your vet can vouch for the care momma and babies had. Good luck in finding them their perfect furever homes.

[shelbysmom]

There is a classified section on the AKC.org site where you can advertise your pups.

To all of you who gave me good advice without viciously questioning my intelligence and contribution to the human race, I sincerely thank you.

To those that felt it necessary to rip me a new one? You are not worth my time to reply.

After reading all of the opinions here, I have, however, reconsidered my decision to give breeding rights to anyone whom I do not personally know and will be including a spay/neuter contract with the sale of my babies. I had not considered this an issue due to the fact all, but one, of my babies were male, but now I do.

I only want these babies to wind up in loving family homes like the one they were born into.

I am going to check out some of the sites, including the AKC website and my personal vet to list these babies.

Again, thank you to those that responded kindly.

Thank you for reconsidering. I am sorry if I was harsh my worry was for the pups.

Taylor I think it was me her ire is directed at -- and not you.


@dragonkeeper - I will offer my apologies as well. I said what I believed harshly - but I still believe it.


For me unless a breeder health checks and has at the minimum the CHIC requirements posted for anyone to see - I will pass on that breeder. I am sure as you said you did all the screenings recommended that your puppy buyers can confirm that through the health databases kept.


You should also consider what kind of health warranty you will be offering to the buyer.


But if I am going to fork out a large sum of money for a puppy I will do so for the most reputable and knowledgeable breeder I can find. Otherwise I will just rescue or go to an animal shelter and roll the dice there.

I saw craigslist mentioned as a possibility. Just for the record-It is officially illegal to " Advertise" puppies for sale on craigslist. I wouldn't even think about looking for one there and I am a craigslist QUEEN! LOL but if someone is looking for a pureblood dogs, that ain't the place!


The DO allow shelters and rescue services to " Re home" dogs...so many unscrupulous sellers get around the " No selling aminals" rule by stating there is a "Rehoming" fee rather than a "Puppy price" and calling it " Puppy for Adoption" rather than "Puppy for sale" But you are not allowed to put a price ( or rehoming fee in your add) if you place a price in connection with your pups, it's very likely your add will be flagged and removed.


But from the other side as a buyer. Most of the people wanting pups who look on craigslist don't know a darn thing about yorkies (or any other normally expensive breed) They can't tell a purebred from a mongrel and if you said your pup was " AKC or DNA tested- their eyes would glaze over. They have no clue about standards and they certainly don't have any awareness about the potential health problems this dog could have or how expensive the responsibility to ensure a yorkie stays healthy can be- especially in their older years. They literally want a "Cheap dog" and they have a "How much could they eat" mentality. THey don't factor in dentals, or any other kind of regular vet visits. And when the pet starts to have medical problems in old age- they are the same people who will "Put them out of their misery" because they can't afford the vet.


And that is, for the most part, what is on craigslist. Sad but true. Some are so ignorant they are a good read and chuckle over coffee. LOL... There is one here in our area that friend sent me laughing hysterically who is advertising a "Pureblood teacup yorkie" who at 10 weeks weighs "A tiny" 5 pounds (and looks suspiciously like a german shepard yorkie mix!) LOLOL That dog is so ugly he's cute..but he'd DEFINITLY far FAR removed from being a pureblood yorkie. So I'd stay FAR FAR away from craigslist when finding homes for your pups.




Just saying......

I will be giving a 2 year health warranty for any genetic issues. As long as the issue is found to be not the new owners negligence. I will buy any of my pups back for a 100% refund.

I am also entering a clause that if for any reason and any time, the new owners are unable to continue raising their new addition, I will be contacted to offer a buy back.
