| ... I had a friend looking at Maltese sites recently also, and she called me over to look at a posted pup......No kidding, my first reaction was," EEEWWWW, That's a Maltese?!".....The hair was sparse, the eyes and feet where all stained, it just looked ill.....I told her run like h***.... Quote:

| I think it's great that you did your research, and are going to get a pup from a reputable breeder.

I certainly don't expect show quality, but I would like a decent representation of the breed, and a healthy one at that.....Your probably better armed with info when you go on your search, that puts you ahead of the game....I hope you have better luck than I did....

we need more people like you guys.. who know their stuff, love/care about their dogs & the owners they are going to, stand behind what they say, and make sure its all done knowledgably!! I truly believe the great breeders out there do it as a passion, which makes them so wonderful!! thanks. (i say this because we are looking into getting another yorkie sibling for Avie.. in the near future! and along with finding the perfect dog for us, i want a breeder who i know loves and cares about her own as i do mine(of course with all her knowledge of breeding, etc.) which is why i started researching breeders months beforehand.

| It is great that you have researched and thought about the ups and downs of the quality of our little furbabies. Its great when you go in knowing exactly what the necessary qualities should be. |

Her medications cost me $250 a month. Between those and her vet bills to monitor all her conditions, I could buy a female Maltese puppy from a top tier show breeder every year! As far as not being show quality, as long as Lady and Lacy keep dressing so well, no one will ever know that they're not Best in Show! | |

| Great post! I meet a lady recently who has a 3 lb female and she wanted to know if I knew anyone with a small male she could breed her with I told her she was too small to breed and she said her vet told her it would be just fine to breed her I told her I would never breed such a small female it wouldn't be worth it to me I even invited her to YT hoping she would learn but haven't anyone from around here sign up

| Excellent thread! I, too, have learned a lot from the reputable breeders at YT and applaud their efforts. I will probably never own a "standard" or even "close to standard" yorkie, as I've made a commitment to only bring rescues into my family (Bernie, you lovable guy, you made a believer out of me ). But, if I ever change my mind and decide to purchase a yorkie, you better believe, I'm heading to YT first to get the scoop on any breeder I consider.
