Well... yes I tried the Kennel Club. No South East Breed Club or Society. One in Eastern Counties but that was the only one without contact details. Contact KC it says. So I did, by e-mail, 3 times. No reply - I telephoned and would you believe they said they are only prepared to give out that information to a registered breeder or the owner of a registered dog. Typical British bureaucracy.

So far, epupz has been a dead loss.
There was a 5 year old in the rescue section living apparently about 300 yards from me. E-mailed - no response. Telephoned - the wrong number had been quoted on the website. Drove past - the house looked empty. Loitered a bit and chatted to a neighbour. The owners went abroad months ago and took the dog with them.

I have contacted several advertisers of puppies, but, somehow I don't get a cosy feeling about any of them. Few seem to be responsive to questions, they are almost evasive and even fewer seem to understand why I am asking them. Clearly not breeders - well I hope they're not.

Found someone in Essex calling herself a breeder. No puppies at the moment but I will let you know when I expect some. Heard nothing - 4 months later she was advertising a new brood on epupz.

Guess it's going to be several long journeys for me if I want a puppy from a "proper" breeder.

It's embarrassing really. This is the home country of the Yorkshire Terrier and I have to come to an (essentially) American website to meet genuine, lovely people who are true Yorkie lovers

Should I emigrate to the land beyond the Western Ocean

can be very tricky to get a proper breeder if i see or hear anything i will let you know. if its an older one you want battersea dogs home have a few time to time thats where i got brandi.

Hi Alona1
Thanks for reminding me. I visit Loot from time to time, but get very dis-heartened as well over 90% of the ads are from the North West/Lancashire. A bit too far for puppy car travel, in my naive opinion perhaps, and probably needs an overnight stop in one direction or the other. When did Lancashire become the spiritual home of the English Yorkshire Terrier

Thanks for your offer, appreciated. I have no objection to a "previously-owned" model and keep an eye on the Rescue Centres.
