| Now there's one I haven't heard of before. Maybe you should in turn get two of her adoptees to write a refrence on her as well. |

| I think that is a bit much to require. I would be looking elsewhere but that is me

| LOL! I'm sure it wouldn't be THAT hard to get 5 or so excellent references for the breeder if you needed to... Let me know if I need to start my letter!

| Well you know I have been looking around A LOT, and other breeders have extensive interview and written application forms. so it is about the same. I kind of like the idea that they won't just give their babies to someone who had the right pile of money. Take for example poor little Sassy who is probably caged up as we speak. |

| Sassy is a very expensive, and by all accounts, adorable yorkie who was purchased as a birthday gift for a 10 year old. The daddy of the house did NOT want a dog, and he is not happy, but on top of that, 10 year old is NOT taking care of Sassy. She has had several warnings, and Sassy spends most of her time in a pin. A co-worker told the mother about me , and she told me she was going to bring Sassy to me. The daughter threw a fit, and on the day I was expecting to have her in my arms she called and said she was giving the daughter "one more chance." In the meantime Sassy spends mose of her time locked up because Daddy does not like her, and she is not trained. End of story so far. |

| That's great that she asked you for references. A good breeder is very picky about about where her puppies go. You should expect to be asked a lot of questions and provide references, even vet references if possible, from a reputable breeder. A reputable breeder will also ask you about your spouse, children and lifestyle to see if a Yorkie is a good fit for your lifestyle. It works both ways. Good breeders expect to get a lot of questions about themselves, their breeding program, etc. These are all good signs. What you don't want is someone who just wants to make sure you put the right number of zeroes on your check and hands over a puppy no questions asked. Sounds like you are finally on the right track in your search for your Yorkie! |

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | Hey, I think I like this breeder! Aaaaaand, I got a list of people to call who purchased puppies in the past from Abigail's breeder. And, yes, I did call. I also got her vet #.
