But how do you know he is the right one not seeing him in person?
And also thanks for telling me more places to shop ;) | Sad to say but fair and honest is hard to come by these days! With there being so many puppy mills, byb's and breeder who just want the money and dont care about the welfare of the pups or their parents.
If you can find people in your area who have Yorkies and who have had a good experience with the breeder, you may be able to find a good responsible breeder closer to your home. Do a web search and Google them. See what you can find out about the breeder before you make a decision. And dont feel pressured to put down a deposit. If you change your mind your out that money.
I have never traveled more than 2 1/2 hrs away to get a pup. Picked her out in person from the litter. I got to see both parents and was aware of their living situation and was pleased. I went back one other time to see her before I brought her home. I kept in touch with the breeder through e-mails and pics. So, I had a simular to your situation but not totally.
This is one of the reasons why I decided to make my web site. I wanted those families to see their pups and be able to see them and feel like they are a part of the progress while they wait. They have somewhere to go where they can get updates, progress reports and see photos of them as they grow and change. This is also the main reason why I have an open door policy with my families who come to me for pups. As long as they call or make arraignments pryer to arriving they are welcome to come at any time to visit with their pups. I insist on it, so that they can create a bond with them before they leave my home. There have been times wehn I have had the entire family sitting in my living room bonding with thier newest addition to the family or trying to choose the right one. |
