Hi from MISSISSIPPI! Hi, I am from North MS and am looking for a reputable breeder in this area. I haven't had much luck looking on the net!! Thanks! |
I don't know of anyone, I live in Georgia, but Welcome to YT. |
Hi welcome to YT :) I'm from the UK so can't help you either, but hope you get sorted soon. |
Hello and Welcome to YorkieTalk. Hope you enjoy the journey of finding your new little one. My advice is to go to YTCA for a list of reputable breeders. Or even better yet, go to petfinder.com and check out all the Yorkies that need to be rescued. You might find one that melts your heart. :) |
Found this link through the American Kennel Club: http://www.ytca.org/breeder3a.html#MS Looks like the closest one to you is in Oxford. Another list: http://www.akc.org/breederinfo/breeder_search.cfm?requestTimeout=90 Hope this helps. I too am in N MS and spent about nine months going through petfinder, local ads, searching the internet, visiting local "breeders", etc. before my girls found me. My patience and belief that "if it is meant to be, it will present itself" paid off :) Best of luck. |
do you mind me asking where your two came from? |
Welcome to YT :) |
She is no longer in business, but I got my girls from Memphis Yorkies, a home/hobby breeder who (due to her husband's health and her own) was relocating and ready to part with some of her older furbabies. It is my understanding that her sister is a hobby breeder also (PuppyLoveMemphis.com); however, please be aware that her website and nursery pages are not current - those puppy photos have been there for more than eight months. I tried the phone number listed on the site to see if she is currently breeding yorkies, but got her voicemail. If you search the internet for local hobby breeders, please beware of TokensMane.com. The lady I visited in person would not allow me into their mobile home. She brought the dogs out and sat in my truck (even the puppies). From the amount of barking as she came and went from the trailer, I could tell there were a lot of dogs in there. The dogs she brought out all smelled of urine, were dirty and matted. Least of all, they were not consistent with pure bred yorkie build, muzzle, etc. (they looked to be mixed breed). I left with the sick feeling that I had just witnessed a true "back-yard breeder". My experience considering rescue: YorkieHavenRescue appears to be a wonderful organization; however, most (if not all) of their furbabies are out of state. Petfinder is great for searching your local area. TailsOfHopeDogRescue and DoubleDogRescueSouth (both work w/Petfinder) were very kind, considerate, and helpful. I did not have a good experience with SunnyMeadows (works w/Petfinder) - the woman I spoke with was so rude and unsettling that I decided the process of rescue wasn't for me. If you are not interested in rescue, my advice would be to first contact LaJune Mills in Oxford. Her contact info can be found here: http://www.ytca.org/breeder3a.html#MS I was referred to her by another retired local breeder; however, I ended up not contacting her bc I got my girls the same week I received the referral. Maybe someone on this site has experience with her??? PLEASE understand that what I have stated above are solely my personal experiences and opinions. It is very important that you do your own research, meet with breeders and/or foster moms, and follow your instincts ;). |
Welcome to YorkieTalk from Oklahoma City! |
Hello and Welcome to YT :) Good luck finding your new little one! |
IDK either, but I wanted to say Welcome! I'm originally from North West Alabama, but living in PA now. I hope you can find a good breeder! Good luck to you! :) |
