Hi everyone,

I don't own a yorkie yet...I'm planning to but I don't know where to look, i tried shelters..Online sites- which turned out to be scams. Anywho, i own 1 dog, One is a pitbull whose name is Biggs. My other dog passed away 2 months ago on the 18th and he was a Lab whose name was Bingo..It sucks cause i knew him since i was a kid (I'm 18, and we got him when i was around 5..)..And it just crushed my family when we saw that he didn't wake up

.. I miss Bingo so much, I know he's in a better place now..It just sucks...Losing a pet you knew for so long...And we got Biggs 2 years ago.. Got him when he was a pup. I love my dogs soo much.. After researching on yorkies, i have learned about them.. And ALOT from this site.Super helpful. I want to get one, my parents said its okay.. We tried looking at PennySaver ads..which was honestly a waste of time..Cause we'd call and they'd tell us to give them the money which we did, and next thing you know no puppy.. And we looked at sites but my parents don't wanna give the money cause they don't know if its a non scammer site..cause of what happened about the Pennysaver..We also tried asking around through family and friends if they own any..And nothing.. We found sites that says they do shipping..Do they really ship..Is that even possible shipping such a small dog to a diff state.. Help please.

So sorry for writing so much..

Welcome!

Try searching for a breeder on the www.ytca.org site. I would not feel comfortable having a puppy shipped to me. You might want to read through this thread, http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ld-i-look.html another member wsa asking what to look for when trying to find a good breeder. You should buy your breeder first

Good luck to you on your search. Have patience and find the right breeder, you will not regret the wait and will have a healthy, happy puppy in return.

I agree with MaddiesMommie. The ytca.com is the best place to start. We got burned by a breeder (who we thought was VERY reputable by many) but she wasn't on ytca. We are now looking for another puppy with a breeder from ytca. Good luck, be careful and definitely buy your breeder first.

Welcome and beware this site is very addicting. You have been warned. Hope you find the perfect pup soon

Hope you find your baby soon. There are a lot of good breeders here. Do not send anyone money or except a puppy that is shipped. Make sure you can visit the home where the puppies live and see the parents.
