| I wouldn't purchase from either one of them. First link breeds for tinies while warning about teacups. Health guarantee is worthless in my opinion. Allows breeding rights in some cases, which I read that if you pay for it they'll allow full registration. Also breeds "rare" colors - fault that they charge more money for. The second - ugh. No contact or health guarantee on site. Dresses the babies for photos. The "Yorkie hotel & spa" - another ugh. Females are off color and look really small. Good luck with your search and welcome to YorkieTalk!

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | The first one is purposely breeding off-standard Yorkies, which to many people is a red flag. She also claims champion lines, yet none of her breeding dogs are Ch. That's a lot like saying you have a Miss America and a Mr. Universe in your family tree. Just because they are out on those limbs doesn't mean that you are going to produce 6 foot tall super models. Her health guarantee is suspect, too. No guarantee against knees or heart defects. Then there is this little gem: Quote:

| Yup, def pass on the first one for sure. The second one doesn't really bother me too much other than I agree her breeding females are a bit small.

| It is great that you are asking! Keep posting sites if you come across breeders that you are interested in. I'm sure you will eventually find a reputable breeder I would however advise against purchasing a puppy online. Some of the best breeders won't have a website.

Senior Yorkie Talker | There locally around me I was just showing you guys the site to see if anyone heard anything about them the 2nd one seems like better breeder to me she's really nice has the guarantee and everything but no puppies available at the momemt I spoke to her several times haven't visited her yet she would like me to to meet her family n the mother n father to a litter she will be having shortly but I just can't see my self putting down 500.00 for a puppy that isn't born ..it's non refundable deposit I can receive my deposit back if the mother doesn't have a male because that's what I'm looking for or if anything is wrong with male once he goes to his first doctors visit |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I always recommend the YTCA, it's the mother club for Yorkies and there usually is a breeder in most states. These breeders breed to standard and don't breed to suit the public latest buying whims. You still need to visit the breeders home in person. If you buy from a good breeder, she'll be able to help you with you pup for the rest of it's life and she can also help you decide if a Yorkie is right for you.

Personally, unless I had seen multiple pups from a breeder and knew for sure that she has healthy lines and truly stands behind her pups, I would not feel comfortable putting down a non-refundable deposit. Search the net for references to her, too. You would be surprised at what you find! For instance, she sells at nextdaypets.com- one of my pet peeve sites.
