Red flags: - advertises tcups - sells all puppies on FULL registration - according to the contract she sells & ships puppies as early as 8 weeks - she shows a female that she is going to breed that 3lbs - she has a lot of dogs between the Yorkies & poodles. She has 26 poodles listed on puppyfind! - she has a Yorkie site & two poodle websites! No where could I find anything on her site where she does any type of screening of potential buyers at all, a reputable breeder will do that! Lots of info about being able to pay with Paypal, shipping, etc.., but I don't see where she asks anything about the buyer! You should be questioning and screening the breeder and they should be doing the same to you! I know you have been looking for a puppy and asking for advice and information which is great! YTCA is a great place to find reputable breeders. Also at the top of the forum below are stickies that provide good info on what to look for in a breeder and what to stay away from: Yorkies For Sale or Wanted - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community |
here's a great example of a reputable breeder's website...just for a reference when you compare amazing breeders to bad ones... Yorkies Breeders Blumoon Yorkies AKC Yorkie puppies AKC Yorkshire Terriers Kansas Missouri |
Thank You RachelAndSadie.I am so greatful you took the time out to show me all her red flags.I did see the parti that was 3lbs for breeding.Ok I think I will be looking for other breeders.I have called the local vets and stuff.I did find a year old yorkie male that is for sale.The owner is moving in with her parents.I am kinda interested in him.She said he was nutered and all.I have been looking for a female but I am willing to save a male from going to the pound.I can always get a female later.She lives in another town though about a hour drive. Ok there is this other lady at Welcome To Legends Shire Yorkies I did talk to her she said she should have some puppies soon.Does her site look more responsible breeder? Thank You for all the help |

Another sign of a good breeder, not having current puppies available. If there is a waiting list, its a good sign. |

This particular line shows me she doesn't have a good understanding of anti-sepsis and could be using this as an "out" to avoid being responsible under a warranty. Esp in light of the fact that she doesn't warrant against coccidia (which isn't killed by bleach any way!) |
Oops- just saw that you are looking at another site. Good. Keep looking and take your time. |
She actually called to tell me she sold her female puppy.She said she was going to be 3 lb full grown.That scared me I want at least 4-5lbs and the fact the little puppy has had a couple of hypo spells really worries me. Its really a challenge finding a good breeder.In the past I don't think I would have really thought about it.Now I like to reserch EVERYTHING.It drives my family nuts.I get obsessive about things and need to know all the facts. |
It's hard work, but it will pay off in the end when you have a healthy pup and a good breeder to turn to for help for the rest of her/his life. |
it's worth it and saves a lifetime of heartache and vet bills if you have the attitude of finding the "right" breeder for you. good luck and i wish you so well. you seem so smart and educated and i'm proud to death that you are listening and trying to find a reputable breeder! YAY FOR YOU |
I just know that you are going to find the right breeder and pup for you! |
