| I'm so glad to hear that you're being patient and doing your research. Don't worry, you'll find your baby soon. It doesn't sound like you would use puppyfind or any of those places, but just an fyi... I don't recommend using Puppyfind.com at all...Majority of ads on there are scams. Almost 3yrs ago, I got taken by someone who advertised her dogs on there. She claimed to be a reputable breeder who had the parents on site, and healthy pups, blah, blah, blah (We later found out that she was a broker for puppymills!). Well, my baby, Miko, came to me with coccidia, heart murmur, upper respiratory infection, severe hypoglycemia, etc. Everything went away with a lot of dedication from me and my husband. Vets said he wouldn't make it, but he did! Months later, we found out that he has a liver shunt that's inoperable and bladder stones that will never go away because of his condition. He has to be on a special diet and medications for the rest of his life, but he should live a normal life on these things. He is like our child and we are sooo happy that he is in our lives. We can't imagine our lives without him. Who knows what would have happened to him if she would've kept him or sold him to a home that would have just put him down... Sorry to go off topic, just wanted to share that story so that you realize it's worth the wait to find a reputable breeder. There are several wonderful breeders here on YT. Hopefully, they'll post Good for you for being so patient!

| Thank you guys soo much for your support No, i dont plan on using puppyfind or pupmatch, i cant even buy shoes online if its not straight from the store, let alone puppies lol Im looking for a little girl, I love pink wayy to much to have a boy lol. I passed by a puppy store today "puppy paradise" or something like that, i went in and i saw all the puppies and when you really look at them they all looked kinda sick & smelled funny and how easy is it gonna be to potty train a pup that is used to going where it sleeps? omg and i saw this 6 month old golden retriever in the back in this cage that he was obviously too big for, luckily, a family bought him, they were pretty knowledgeable about breeders,petstores, puppymills and such but they just couldnt see him in that little cage. i felt like hugging them lol. they also had these TINY TINY chi puppies in empty AQUARIUMS! with no toys, or blankets, just some newspaper and a water bottle. i spoke to the 16 year old manager.. he tried to hit on me.. and then did nothing. so my boyfriend spoke to him a bit more.. firmly lol and he finally put some blankets in with the chis and gave the family a discount on the golden. WHY DO I EVEN GO INTO THESE PET SHOPS WHEN I KNOO THAT THEY UPSET ME?! |

| im so glad they dnt have shops like that here in England, i couldnt turn my back on them and walk out! i find it hard enough not to buy a rabbit or guinipig in the pets at home store we have near here!!! i am terrible lol so i can understand how hard it must be for you, keep strong, and dnt buy one, your putting money back into the hands of the people who are doing this, and all they will do is use it to make more profit, its a shame...

| You will find the right one, just for you. It took me years to find Princess. Yes I was very picky, I looked in to sooooo many furbaby eyes, they are all way too cute! But the day I looked into Princess's eyes, was the day I found my Princess. There is hope, hang in there. When you find the right one, you will know it. Best of luck to you. PS. A friend just found a great Lab Breeder by asking our Vet. You might want to give that a try too

| It took me months to find Holly as well. I ended up finding a great breeder who was adopting a baby and finding homes for her young females she was planning on breeding. SO I got Holly and she was 6 months old and already potty trained. Now I am glad I waited because she is perfect for our family! The breeder I got her from is in the Tampa area but she does not have puppies....just 2 older females. They are both under 2 though. |

| don't let anyone try to make you believe you MUST spend $3000 on a puppy to get a good yorkie! that is not true - i paid $600 for romeo and he is perfect. there are a few ladies here that have paid that price or a little more and they have beautiful healthy dogs,too. there are alot of breeders that just want a fair price for their dogs and are not out to make buckets of money because they know they can by just saying "yorkie puppies for sale!" please keep us posted on your search - i can't wait to see your post that you finally found your puppy! |

| $6000!!!!! i found romeo not far from where i live - about 20 minutes - a little old white haired lady was selling them! she was as sweet as can be and said she just wanted a fair price for them and a good home. i had been looking for over a year when i saw her ad in the paper. other ad's listed them $900 and up to $1500. and romeo came with papers so i feel like we really got a great deal for him and so does everyone that sees him. |

| im gonna end up trying the newspaper, it seems like alot of people find nice dogs that way. and im not looking for a show pup. also, there is something special about seeing a litter and meeting the mom and dad and picking the pup that you choose. also, im paying for the pup myself lol and high school salary isnt alot that great |

| Yes, it's easy to walk out!!! Just keep in mind if you do buy a dog then it will just keep the millers in business and the poor little breeding moms in wire cages breeding at each and every heat and never seeing a Vet. When she can no longer breed she is shot. NOW, can you give money to those store owners and the millers and continue to let the other dogs suffer horrible lives. |
