| The yorkie club of america has a listing of breeders that might be helpful. I talked to a lady that seemed very knowledgeable and tried to help me find a female in Alabama. She spent quite a bit of time talking to me and even has followed up, and she doesn't have anything available right now. If all else fails, you may want to check them out. I know I searched Alabama, Georgia, Ms and Tenn. There is a lady in Tn with beautiful pups for 1800. I couldn't spend that much. Good luck, it's worth the hunt!! |

| As a breeder when I look at parents to be of my babies i want them to ask lots of questions, as I do too. Make sure your pup comes with a health guarantee, shots, worming, and a 48 hour vet check return policy. You need to ask about the parents. Do they have any congenital defects that they are aware of. For example luxating Patella, Liver shunt. Look at the parents teeth, and the puppies. Make sure they have a good bite. Also pay attention to the temperment of the parents. CKC is not as strict as AKC as far as breeding goes, but there are many responsible CKC breeders out there. Go and visit the house. Trust your instinct right away. If the place stinks, or if they keep their pups in an outside cage, or if they are not friendly to you than most likely you want to look else where. Never buy a pup because you feel guilty for it, only buy the one that you trully want. I personally avoid breeders that have multiple types of dogs they breed. I know that that may sound bad, but I worry about them being a mill, rather than a breeder that is doing for the betterment of the breed. Be patient and keep looking the right pup will come along. Remember that only you can decide of the pup is the right one for you.

| she said she was killed last week when she was returned to the kennel. so i'm guessing another dog killed her.not sure. i'm going to see the baby in the morning. i'll be up all night gathering info to take with me so i'll know what to look for. yeah i bet it is hard to say no especially if it's living in poor conditions. i'll be strong. i can't afford not to. i know some may think i'm be too impatient but it doesn't hurt to go and look right? wish me luck |

No, it doesn't hurt to go and look. Just remember that there are probably darned few of us that can go look at those darling little faces and walk away without one and the breeders know that. OK? You say the puppy is eight weeks old? How much does it weigh?

| I'm in Fl and looked for one year before finding Chloe and then found Lacey in an unusual way, I'll skip all the details. I paid $800 for Chloe, who had 4 and 5lb parents but she is light with a good 7 plus pounds on her. She's a beautiful yorkie, very pretty face but has a "roach" back, longer legs and a combination of silky and cottony fur. I was a little disappointed at first that she wasn't the typical, short legged, black/gold, small yorkie. When I got Lacey, although she was $2500, her dad was a champion and the breeder told me exactly what she thought, not a guarantee, about looks and weight, Lacey is exactly what the breeder said and what I had in mind. She isn't show material, her hair is a little thin I think for that but she is small, has a very straight back, nice carriage, short legs, beautiful tail and sassy walk, I feel the extra money was worth it. Here's the but, both yorkies are wonderful and if you aren't wanting to show then it really isn't important, what is is their disposition and health. Hope you find one your love as much as I love mine. They are great pets. |

| thanks jwash i think that's what i was looking for is the comparison between the two dogs $800 versus $2500. i think as long as she's healthy and has the typical yorkie traits (and she should if she's registerd and her parents are registered right?) then that's what i'm looking for in a pet. maybe i'll know more when i see that daddy. what about the tail? does something have to be done?i forgot to ask about the tail. thanks for your post |
