Yorkie Yakker | Newbie to YT Im new to the site and so glad I found it....I had been looking at fancy pups site, so glad I saw the beware pop up when I googled them. I now have been searching the Houston area or a couple hours drive radius and I am coming up empty. I have read Yt for hours and have almost scared myself out of a Yorkie, but, I know from hearing yall talk that there HAs To be reputable breeders around the south......just have no idea how to go about finding them. If anyone has gotten a healthy puppy from someone that they would like to recommend, that is the way I would feel most comfortable with. I have a Maltese that is 12 and a real sweetheart.....bought her from a newspaper ad, would NEVER do that in this day and time. So thanks to all for all the info I have gained so far and I really appreciate any input. |

| I'm pretty sure there are YT people from your area. Hopefully they can come up with some names for you. In the mean time you can go to the AKC website and look up clubs in your area. You want to look for conformation and breed clubs. Those clubs usually have a breeder referral contact person that can point you in the right direction. Of course you always want to investigate the person anyway and get other references. These people don't advertize online like many of the puppy mill people do. They may have websites but they don't spend hundreds and thousands of dollars like the scamers do. The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America also has some breeder referrals on their website. It isn't always the easiest thing to find a reputable breeder but it will sure save you the heartache of buying a sick puppy. |

| Hello and welcome! I can't help you with a breeder, but I'm sure someone here can recommend someone in Texas for you. If/when you get a yorkie, you will absolutely fall in love with the breed. They are truly amazing little dogs!
