Actually my puppy was vet checked before and after I purchased him with a clean bill of health - I would not have purchased a dog that was not pre- vet checked and that did not have a health guarantee. |
Yes!!! this is Keoki- your babies are beautiful!!!! |
I would say be wary of ANY breeder who advertises "baby doll faces", "tinies" - it is quite easy, once you start looking around, to tell the difference between types of breeders. Personally, I think *all* yorkies are stunningly adorable - but the look that kills me - is the one similar to Marcel (in my avatar). I don't "name" that look - I don't know, maybe he has a shorter snout, he is on the smaller size - I don't know what it is really. I just saw him, and we fell in love :). It was the same with Wylie too though, and he has a totally different look. I guess my main point would be: look around at a lot of breeders - see what different breeders *say* about their pups - how they *market* their pups (and, more importantly, how don't they market their pups). And, know what questions you should ask a breeder before seeing a pup and before buying a pup. And, know the breed and learn about owning a puppy, above everything else. |

I have to agree partially, not all recommended breeders on here are reputable. |
The best place to start looking for a reputable breeder is among YTCA members. You can go to www.ytca.org and look at their breeder referral list. Not ALL of these breeders are someone I'd buy from, but it's a good place to start looking...ask tons of questions regardless of who recommended them. I just can not support bad breeders...I just wish people would educate themselves.. why let dogs suffer because of bad breeding? Why bring dogs at a high risk for hydrocephalis and open fontanels into this world purposely? Why breed teeny tiny dogs whose organs are tiny and weak or who might get injured much easier than a normal-sized yorkie? Why breed tiny dogs that have a much higher risk for a c-section and dying in whelping? Anyone who supports breeders that do these things are only supporting the suffering of other dogs...sure, you might get a cute, healthy puppy but what about the others they have bred that are not healthy and the tiny moms forced to have babies?? It's just not right..if someone loves dogs, they'll only buy from reputable breeders |

I also have learned that once reputable breeders can, very easily, become not reputable. The things I've seen on here....oh my. |
New to Yorkie Talk Hello everyone! I currently do not own a yorkie. My yorkie past away about 10 years ago at the age of 16. We are thinking it's time to get a new puppy. My yorkie was a boy and we are thinking of getting a girl this time. We have no interest in breeding. Any words of wisdom? |

I have seen this first hand. I have seen a "reputable breeder" make choices that were not for the betterment of the breed. All the time singing praises about her dogs' pedigrees. |

All I'm saying is that when it comes to purchasing a puppy, do your research and MAKE SURE they're a reputable breeder - don't simply assume they are because they're advertised on YT or even YTCA. I digress. |
