| HI! My husband and I lived in La Jolla, CA and we bought our dog from a wonderful breeder in Temecula, CA and I would recommend her to every person looking for yorkies. If you would like her information I would be happy to give it to you, just email me at megsbelott@gmail.com or email me here privately and I will provide the information. I have no idea if she ships.

| Oh & FYI NeVeR take a recommendation from a newbie or someone who only posts on here about a 'wonderful best breeder' lots of sub par breeder-greeders only come on here under 'sudo' profiles to toot their own horn...the horns these ppl have are only on their head

| thank you all! I will keep it all in mind before choosing one breeder, but luckily i have a while to choose which breeder I want to use, which is why I am emailing and PMing all the ones I can asking questions...what are some questions I should ask before purchasing a puppy? |

| Like others have said, do not go online to buy a puppy. It is best to find a breeder in your area that you can have a good relationship with , and visit the puppies , AND see the parents . Their are too many scams out there , and people only doing it for the money and not to better the breed.

| From one newbie to another...I'll be the first to admit, I do not know much about dogs at all BUT I will share what I have learned. Do not purchase a puppy online. I bought 2 and I have been blessed with the most handsome and loving little guy that ever walked the face of the earth BUT he did come to me sick. The other pup I bought for my mother and she is extremely pleased with him. He is healthy and perfect in every way BUT that little dude is off the hook. He runs and plays and runs and plays and yips and yaps. He is positively adorable and she loves him to death but when I spend a little time with him, I'm glad I didn't get that one...lol. We would have been a poor match for sure! And these are the risks you run when you purchase online. You need to see the baby and hold it and see how it interacts with you and its surroundings to gauge if he will be a suitable match because God-willing, you will be together for a really long time. Also, ANYone can make a website attractive and promise you the moon but the reality is, once you get the puppy, you will want to keep it no matter what and all of the promises, guarantees, etc... fly right out the window. They KNOW that you won't give him back and get another one, pay to return ship the puppy (especially a sick one), or travel to sue them in their own jurisdiction. Don't get me wrong, I am sure there are legitimate operations but if I knew then what I know now, I would have chosen to see and feel the puppies first. I am madly in love with my little Lazzy. He is the best thing that has come my way in a long time but we got lucky with each other and dealing with these folks after the fact makes it all more plain to me how lucky we were. Just my opinion, I am sure others more experienced can weigh in other factors but next go-around, I'm going local for sure. |

YT 500 Club Member | I hope you listen to the advice given and get luck. I learned my lesson with buying a puppy from online.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | The only pedigree for the yorkies that I can get to pull up on her is for Doodles and Nana Marie (siblings). I get an error message on the others. All though they do have Ch in their pedigree, it doesn't appear that either of them are Ch. at this time.

| that is fine..I'm not a breeder and I just really loved the woman I bought Cooper from. I understand what you are saying and will take it for what it is. I am a first time owner and look for months until I found Cooper. I saw some nasty puppy mills that made me sick to my stomach. If you don't want to take my recommendation, no hard feelings. |

| Just so you know I am NOT a breeder, and I wouldn't purchase my puppy online. I was lucky enough to live in San Diego, and to find a breeder 45 mins north from me. This woman doesn't have a website nor does she promote her breeding...she is more a word of mouth. I would recommend her to everyone who lived in the state of CA and that could drive to her house and see her beautiful babies. I was very fortunate and met Coopers parents and sisters. If I had the $ I would have bought all 3 so Coops would be with his sisters. |
