| Thanks for the clarification, I agree that some AKC dogs are from people that are only out there for money. Not saying all but seems to be alot. I guess the best is to just find a puppies who is registered and has a clean environment and is healthy with a loving family. The more I read and talk to people the moe im confused |

I am also amazed at how expensive pet store puppies cost these days ($1400-$1600 for a Yorkie where I live). Now here is something that particuarly amuses me. I've read many sources stating that "teacups" is a term that is mostly used by puppy-millers who are trying to sell their pups for more, and yet MOST teacups I see advertised (on the internet and elsewhere) are actually AKC registered! (and by far the most expensive puppies around these days.) In fact, I've personally never seen a "teacup" puppy in a pet store. If anything, their toy breeds often grow to be larger, and not smaller, than breed standard. | |

| Well, out here in the west, the pet stores are selling them for around 2500. I definately dont see T-cups as that is not cost effective for most millers. But I have seen T-cups advertised in most of the registries for outrageous prices. Every sunday in the local paper it is full of adds for Yorkies at 1000 and up. Even the Yorkiepoos are going for 700. Those prices are for most registries as well. The smaller the dog the more $$$ they want. |

My Lil Man! Donating Member | My furbaby is CKC registered and everyone who has seen him thinks he is the prettiest yorkie they have ever seen. He has a very good show standard and standing stance for show. I have even met an AKC judge who said I should show him but that was before he learned Reeses isnt AKC registered. Lol. If your not looking to show your furbaby...I dont think it matters...just pick out which baby you like the most because a yorkie is a yorkie and they will love you no matter what registration they are with or not with. |

| If I were looking for a wonderful HEALTHY Yorkie, I would contact a reputable breeder. First I would look at YTCA website for a breeder in your area and go from there. |

| LOL! Okay this might help. Here are links to the major pet registries in the U.S. to find out more about each of them. There are some lesser known ones, but these are the ones you'll see most often: AKC (American Kennel Club) ~ http://www.akc.org/ ACA (American Canine Association) ~ http://www.acacanines.com/ APRI (American Pet Registry, Inc.) ~ http://www.aprpets.org/page.php?3 CKC (Continental Kennel Club) ~ http://www.continentalkennelclub.com/ NKC (National Kennel Club) ~ http://www.nationalkennelclub.com/ UABR (United All Breed Registry) ~ http://www.unitedregistry.com |

If the breeders on the YTCA website didn't have upcoming litters, did you ask if they could refer you to other breeders? I know it's hard to be patient, but remember the puppy you choose now will hopefully be with you for many, many years. Take your time to find a great breeder who is breeding to the standard and health testing her Yorkies so that when you finally get a puppy, it will be a healthy one who looks and acts just like a Yorkie should. | |

| If those breeders don't have puppies, they might be able to refer you to another reputable breeder that does. A lot of times breeders will have a waiting list. It's worth the wait to buy from a reputable breeder

| some breeders will ship puppies. You can always fly and pick one up and fly it back in the cabin with you. Some breeders also personally deliver puppies to your nearest airport. I know of a breeder in AZ that has some little girls right now..not sure if they are still available or not..but she will hand deliver the pups to your nearest airport

| I know the breeder that Fair Lacy is talking about. she is a good reputable breeder. I have 2 and will have 3 of her dogs. Her dogs are not near as pricey as Natalies, even with the flight. |
