| I need a "normal" breeder in nv ca az I am looking for a puppy and I have been dealing with so-called "reputable" show-breeders, and quite honestly, I feel many of them are personality disordered, arrogant and defensive. I was researching a lady who I was almost ready to buy from, and I found a horrible thread about her on this site. I am so upset about this. It is hard finding a dog having to deal with people. I thought I would go to the "best," to make sure the dog is healthy etc. Too many details to share here. I just want a breeder that is not going to be put off by the correct questions, and is open about their dogs, practices, etc. I am losing hope I am looking for a small healthy female yorkie. Can anyone help? |

We're states apart, but obviously having the same experience. I too am looking for a female yorkie puppy. Just keep looking. When I think back on it, both of my yorkies (current & past) seem to have been meant to find me & me them. Each was a fluke. My first I came upon the very day the breeder decided to sell a couple of pups rather then place them with family, and my current was meant to be kept by her breeder who then had a sudden house sell after being on the market for a long period of time. Both seemed just meant to be. So, I figure my next is just not ready for me to find her yet.

| Thank you very much for those words. I have thought that I have been trying too hard. I thought I would just go right to the best, and boy did I get a rude awakening. I have a sense that these "show-breeder" people do this more out of being "obsessed" than a true love for animals. I wish you the best in your search......or should I say, her search for you |

Talk to hundreds if you have to until you find the one you click with who you feel is sincere. Before you take a puppy home ask for references from customers, vets and other breeders. While I do recommend looking up YTCA members I also know an increasing number of good breeders who are not members. (I can almost hear the harpies flapping their wings.) There are some on this board I'd refer people to. Breny is one, and there are others. Look up the YTCEHB site as there may be people there in your area who have a lot of knowledge and no attitude. Good luck!

| When I thought that I had found my breeder,she sent me an email asking if I would mind filling out her questionaire (3 pages). My response was that I did not mind if she would please fill out mine as well (2 pages). Then we spoke on the phone for about 2 hours. I made a friend as well as finding my new little baby. You will find someone that you click with,that is willing to answer any questions that you have. That person is out there,just keep looking,dont give up. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Ha ha your title is funny, I don't know if I'd want a "normal" breeder, I wanted a good one, actually a great one, who loved the breed. Really great breeders get dozens of calls and expect you to have done your homework. They aren't going to sell to just anyone, you are adopting their babies, not just buying a dog. They want to ensure that their dog has a permanent stable home. So many people rehome their dogs when their lifestyle changes. So don't be put off too quickly, you're not really looking for a salesman are you?
