| Is this a red flag?? I've been speaking with a breeder who has some pups that are akc, then some that aren't because the male is akc but the female isn't. Is this something I should be worried about if buying the pups without papers? I don't plan to breed or show. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | It's something that I would be leary about. First of all, why aren't the other girls AKC registered? There has to be some reason for it: 1) The person that they bought those females from didn't want them to be bred. 2) Are the dogs full yorkies or were there some mixing of breeds somewhere along the line. I'd look elsewhere. Even if you aren't planning on breeding or showing, you want to be sure you're getting the real deal. JMO

| Oh ok... she didn't say why she didn't get the one girl registered. But her others are. The only reason I was looking at this litter was because the time frame was better. You bring up good points though... it makes sense that i should be iffy!! |

| Look for someone who shows these dogs. You may pay more, but it's well worth it! |

| just curious, are you telling people they shouldn't buy from us unless we are show breeders? i hope not. i hope I misread that. but, nena, i would run away from this breeder you are looking at. there is a beautiful little puppy out here somewhere for you. |

| I WOULDNT TAKE THE CHANCE. YOU DON'T WANT TO GO THERE AND FALL IN LOVE WITH ONE OF HER YORKIES AND THEN KICK YOURSELF LATER BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW RUNNING UP A HUGE VET BILL. YOU WILL FIND THE RIGHT BREEDER - WITH A GOOD HEALTH GUARANTEE. |

| I think Yorkiedaze was simply suggesting that if you find a show breeder or a breeder listed with ytca.org, you can pretty must rest assured that you will be getting a puppy bred for the standard and of the best possible quality. As surprising as it may be, puppies placed in pet homes with limited registration by show breeders are really not any more expensive. These breeders first interest is placing these puppies in the best possible homes.

| Thank you all for your help! I have been searching and searching and all I seem to come up with are breeders that fall short of my requirements! I want one close to home so that I don't have to ship and I can check out their parents and living environment...I am just at a loss!! |

the main thing here is that a reputable breeder knows his lines....if the dog isn't registered, then their is no line
