And like others have stated - there are some that you can not tell are bad, so you need to go to their home and check things out to make sure they are reputable. You should get a sence they are reputable or not once you are there. Go with your gut feeling. And if the breeder says - I can meet you somewhere and save you some driving time - run away. This is a big waringing sign. They just do not want you to see their home and the dogs.

Lorraine - Boy, when you turn away people they do get mad, don't they?? I have had this happened and what a scene usually. They yell at me. One girl was totally understanding that she was not ready.

Yes, yes, yes. Avoid breeders such as this, that's a huge red flag!

I have to agree with the "not just a dog" thing.
I loved Yorkies because of their very obvious individual personalities. But I'm now not the only one that sees that they are more than just a dog.
My mum let Teegy on the couch, yes she did. Okay well you can sit with granny, but only because it's an old couch. I've even caught her letting him give her a kiss....
She just loves him and my friend Michelle who's not a dog person, she tries to pretend that he's not pulling on her heart strings.
I wish you the best of luck in your breeder search, because you'll have years of joy.
