|  Long Long Story.. Hope you dont mind.. My Journey to finding the right pup.. Here is my story.. I bought a puppy from a breeder here in Alberta and named her suki. She was ckc reg'd with a no breeding contract. She was the perfect little thing until she past away after only 2 weeks of having her. Vet said it was from cardiopulmonary arrest(heart attack). Anyways, our whole family was already attached to poor suki. I also bought a little harness from fellow yter Magsy. The breeder was going to give us a little boy in return and when i called her the next day, he was already taken by another person who lost their yorkie due to a furniture moving accident. Afterwards she did say to wait till later June when she might have a little boy available to me but i she kept asking for Suki to get a autopsy, Which isnt possible due to her being cremated. Anyways, i stopped hearing from this breeder so i went on a journey to find another puppy to bring joy back into the family. I read a add on alberta Kijii for a "t-cup" puppy selling for $1800 ckc limited registration.. Called the breeder and was going to meet her Saturday. i talked to her a couple times on friday and asked for more details. Found out that when i purchase the puppy.. i won't get to keep the papers of her registration. Her story claims that many people tend to switch puppies and then breed her little puppies. So i asked her for just a paper copied when the registration comes.. so i kno that she is registered even tho i wont be breeding her. it just feels safer to me knowing i didnt buy from a puppy mill. Anyways she said she cant even give me a paper copy but she can give me her parents.. also a couple red flags came up while asking more info.. she didnt want me to meet her at her home but on a street. and it seemed like she vaccinated the puppy alot.. she said something about every 2 weeks. the story goes.. i ended up saying i wont be going to pick up the puppy and she just said "Alright i will be going on to the next buyer then and hung up on me" I seriously am thinking about giving up already.. There really arent much qualified Breeders up here in Canada.. Alot of people trying to rip u off for money.. I saw a pup selling for $1000 non registered.. is it really bad to buy a puppy that is unregistered but needs a good pet home? Her b-day is one day before sukis.. suki was born on leap year day 2/29 and this pup is born 2/28.. I am just looking for a healthy pup now.. i just want her to live longer than Suki had..

| I'm so sorry your pup passed....it is terrible that your having such a hard time finding a person you can trust......I just wanted to say that getting AKC papers in no way guarantees that your are dealing with a reputable breeder nor does it mean the pup will be healthy....Di you try the YTCA to find a breeder? They also have to be screened........but it is a help........ It sounds like the woman you have been talking to is not good, it sounds suspicious to me, I would not do it with her.....When in doubt, do without....... Good luck on your search and take your time....

| I am so sorry to hear that you lost your puppy. I know the heartache. To answer your question, just keep looking and you will find another furbaby when the time is right. I found mine one month after my loss. Many people feel it is best to have a registered dog, quite possibly to confirm its background and breeding. Since I have no interest in breeding, I did not feel it necessary. I was, however, careful in picking my puppy and was fortunate to see both parents. Best of luck in finding your furbaby.

| Donating YT 10K Club Member  | I'm sorry about Suki. That's so awful. I don't blame you for being extra causious now. I would be more interested in the health of a new puppy vs their price or registration. It may take a little while to find the perfect breeder with the perfect puppy. Enchanted toi is a canadian member here. Perhaps she could advise you.

|  Please.... take your time!!! My first yorkie was a full grown 2 lb rescue baby. We had her a short 3 mos when she hit her head while playing outside and never woke up. In that short time, I had fallen so hard for her that I rushed out and bought the first baby that caught my heart. I know now I should have done my homework on the breeder first. I love her dearly and would not trade her for any other animal but her good qualities were no thanks to the breeder. I found out later that she had no people interaction other than food brought to the pen. She had never been played with or taken outside to romp. I have been very lucky with her but wouldn't count on it happening again. Choose wisely!! |

| I have 2 yorkies, both registered with 2 different kennel clubs. CKC will register your pup without any paperwork from the breeder. You will have to send photos of your Yorkie as proof. But it is a fairly simple process to register with them. Go to there website and check it out. Continental Kennel Club Good Luck! |

| In Canada CKC, with all capitals means Canadian Kennel Club, which is the equivalent to the AKC, just means Canadian instead of American. When purchasing a pup in Canada you have to ask the breeder. ~Marly
