| Hutto/Manor I live in Austin and I found an AKC Breeder in the Hutto/Manor area. It is a family that loves Yorkies and does it because they love them, not for financial gain. It isn't Waco but it isn't very far when you think about finding a good breeder. PM me if you want the details. I chose them because they have a six year old daughter who spends her days playing with the puppies so they are very child friendly. The daughter was very gentle with the puppies and would run them all over the yard and wear them out. They have all the paperwork and screen people before sending puppies home. When I went out to their house to actually pick Scooter up (I had already made arrangements but when I picked him out he was not ready to go home yet), another person was there to look at the available puppies. Kerrie, the breeder, felt that the person looking was a little to rough and decided while I was there she would not allow a puppy to go home with that family. While it was sad, it really showed me a lot about the type of people they are and their love for Yorkies.

| As anyone on YT can tell you, a breeder with a proper screening process is key to finding a smart, well behaved Yorkie.

I just get really emotional about this. I see so many sick puppies around here from bad breeders. Please be very careful.
