| Next Day Pets Hi! I am having trouble purchasing a yorkie here in Houston...I have called 3 different YTCA recommended breeders several times each and none have returned my calls. I found a breeder in the paper who just had a litter but everytime I ask to come see the parents and put a deposit down, an excuse comes up as to why I have to wait. I am getting very frustrated. It seems that purchasing a yorkie is only for the lucky or those with good connections. Has anyone here ever purchased a yorkie from Next Day Pets. I am thinking about going this route although I am a bit leery because I would have to have the puppy shipped and won't get to see what kind of environment it lived in etc. What do you think? |

| Re: Next Day Pets I am willing to try anything just about now. I never knew it would be soo much trouble to buy a yorkie. I bought my rat terrier from a breeder in the paper with no problems at all. I guess I'll take your advice put in a reply to the sale section here. Thanks! |

| Im so sorry you haven't found a breeder. I have never heard of Next Day Pets. Personally I will be scare to get a pup without looking at the pup first and the environtment . Of course is up to you. I hope you found your Yorkie soon. Good luck. |

| Its Dog Show season and many of the YTCA recommended breeders show also, so they may just be away for a show right now. I'm sure Brenda will know someone in Houston! I would definitley steer clear of "next day pets" b/c I have read on several forums that there are A LOT of puppy mill breeders one there! |

| I got my little Coco another state. But the breeder was wonderful, and took lots of pictures of the area, her growing, and everything I needed. I too had trouble finding a yorkie locally or even in my state. So I started venturing out and was concerned about getting one sight unseen and the flight scared me. But I have the cutest, healthiest little girl in the world. www.dogster.com/?150214 |
