| Need Help Hi Everyone, I need help.....my husband & I went to look at a Yorkie last night and he was beautiful. The only thing is that he appeared to be lethargic. The breeder said it was because she had just put ear wash in his ears and he was mad. The other thing that bothered us was that he is from the 7th and final litter. We thought that after 3 you could run into genetic problems, is this correct? The big problem that we have is that we are searching for the breeder that we had before and are having no luck in finding her. We know she is in Quincy, FL and I have been searching all over the internet for her with no luck. If anyone out there can help, we would be very grateful. Thank You, Sandy |

Hi Welcome to YT. Run don't walk from that breeder... Yorkies don't get lethargic from ear cleaning!!! That poor pup probably needs a vet! and for her to tell you that shows she is not honest. Post the name of the breeder you are looking for on here and maybe some one can help you find her. Also there are lots of good breeder here so maybe you can find one you like here. Be careful where you get your puppy from. If you smell a rat you know to run!

| Oh, we ran alright. She even showed us all of his vet records and everything looked fine. She has a total of 10 dogs in the house and he was the only one that was like that. I think the breeders name was debbie and I know she has horses also but I can not for the life of me think of the actual name/website we found her on. Ii is like a kid in a candy store, you want what you want and you just can't wait to get it.....I hope we find our baby sooner than later. Thank you for your advice! Sandy |

| Welcome You have come to the right place, if anyone can find a good breeder (or hopefully your previous breeder), it's the folks here at YT You were SO smart to run run run!!! Gee, if anything, that baby should have been running and jumping after getting ear drops, that's what mine do They try to rub their ears on everything I hope that that pup gets the medical attention it obviously needs Anyway, I just wanted to wish you good luck in finding a new baby. There are a lot of great breeders right here, if you go down a few boards there's a for sale forum

| Wouldn't your breeder's name and address be on your dogs registration papers?

| Seems like if you Google Yorkies will take you to list and you can find local town you purchased from breeder you liked. I wish I had run from breeder that lied,lied about almost everything. I just ignored the red flags because Yorkie was so cute!!!! I let my emotions rule rather tham good sense. Good Luck |

| Well, here we go again....we went to look at another Yorkie last night and when we walked in the door he just barked once and ran and hid for about 20 min. After that he would just stare at you and coward down if you tried to pet it. Needless to say we RAN as fast as our feet would carry us. The search continues for our perfect babie. |

| Welcome to YT!! I hope you find a dear sweetie soon. You said your mom had misplaced the papers - well, I'm wondering if you could contact AKC and they could look him up for you & the breeder.

| Welcome to YT! The dam has had 7 litters? Wow, that is a lot. I highly suggest contacting breeders on the YTCA website...there are quite a few in Florida. http://www.ytca.org/breeder4.html#FL

| Good Luck with your search! You are doing the right thing. If the pup seems scared now, he may have problems in the future? It is so sad to see a "scaredy dog".

That's why it's so important to screen breeders first, before you ever go look at puppies. It's so hard to walk away from puppies even if things don't seem quite right. Unethical breeders count on that, too. How often do members come here after being burned by a breeder, admitting that they are too attached to return a sick puppy? | |
