This site is a good one to find a reputable Yorkie breeder. American Kennel Club - Yorkshire Terrier Club of Greater New York - NEW YORK CITY - NY - 1147

You can also try the breeder contact on the Yorkshire terrier club site at Yorkshire Terrier Club of America

Why not try a rescue in you're area, we have so many dogs that need help.
Good luck and hope you find what you are looking for.

Rose Jenks with Foxfire Yorkies is in CT. She has beautiful dogs...not sure if she has any puppies...

Yorkie Breeders
 

Be VERY CAREFUL, my beautiful yorkie purchased from a breeder (I won't say the name) has health issues that just get worse! She is 6yo and I will be reaching out for help on her trachea distress, which is the latest problem.

I hate you are having issues with your Yorkie....have you contacted your breeder? Regardless of the age of the pup, reputable breeders want to know about their babies...and they will stand with you, some offering financial help for the issue you may be having, others with advise and help with professionals that can direct you.....we place our babies, but they never leave our hearts....everyone I have ever placed a pup with, with the exception of about 3 people, stay in contact with me....some emailing updated pics 4-5 times a year, others less frequently, but they ALL check in at Christmas time and let me know how all my babies are doing....everyone of my owners was gracious enough to take time and contact me that they had evacuated for hurricain Ike, and were safe!!!........this not only keeps me in close contact with all my owners, it is how I track my breeding program....if you bought from a reputable breeder, you need to having conversations with her about health issues you are having with your pup.

And that breeder should be working with you perhaps looking to refund purchase price, work with her/his Vet. This is why I do not like to sell far from home. If any of my puppies do come up with an issue even as an adult, I want to take it to my Vet whom I totally trust. Sometimes it is poor quality knowledge in a Vet especially ones not familiar with Yorkies that can be the problem, not the dog.

AMEN to the entire above post, but especially to the underscored part! Misdiagnosis, incorrect management of illness, etc.....

[quote=Yorkiemom1;4023528]And incorrect management by the owner which may not be their fault. It scares the heck out of me about all the recalled and dangerous dog food and treats sold in pet stores that are causing illness and even deaths in pets which would not be the owners fault. I give a two page write up to my puppy buyers about do's and don'ts along with any dog or puppy purchased and keep in touch with that owner to also warn them about any problems I hear about It is not always the owners fault but I certainly am likely to hear about things to avoid moreso than the average pet owner. And I encourage my purchasers to get in touch with me anytime with any problems questions etc.

WOW, you sound very nice! As I purchased STAR, 6 years ago, Yorktown Heights, NY, I tried NUMEROUS times to contact the "breeder" to NO avail. The "breeder" never would respond to my phone/emails!
So now many years later, I have a pit in my stomoach with the thought of reaching out!
She is well known, a neighbor has recently purchased from this "breeder". I know financial times are different, but I was charged $1,000 more for Star. I feel even then I was taken advantage of, since it had been only two weeks after I lost my LOVE, APRIL at 13yo (from a different person) and I would have given my life savings for the pup! Now I am unemployed for four years and $$$ is tight.
Also, the breeder was/is part of the YT Club.
Meanwhile, when I realized the neighbor purchased from the same, the neighbor has not called me, as I suggested that I could discuss the medical issue that I have had from the start.
Putting that behind us (though the new adoptee resurfaced these problems) I am so upset regarding the collasped trachea! Star is supposed to have dental tomorrow, but my cousin who breeds Kerry Blue Terriers, suggests that I do not go ahead with dental at this time, while I'm working out the CT situation. Also, the charge is between $500 to $600!

Also, the vet has X-rayed STAR and it shows how the windpipe at throat is open, narrows, then narrows again at the lungs. The good news was that the lungs & heart looked good!

Kerry Blues donot have the issue with the teeth that Yorkies or most toy breeds do. The CT situation likely will not improve. Infected tartared teeth will make the trachea issue worse irritating it. But you need a competent vet that will use a small enough tube to put down the trachea during the procedure. My Vet told me that it is not a problem with dogs with collapsing tracheas to do surgeries and dentals as teh tube down the trachea for breathing will keep it from collapsing. Using the right size will not further damage the trachea.
Infected tartared teeth can also cause kidney, liver, heart issues over time and cause an early demise. IT is not something you can ignore.
Yup unfortunately that's what dentals can run in price depending on where you are even more. But that is part of the care required for any toy dog and I do warn any prospective purchasers.

What she says here is all very true....check to see if a vet tech does the cleaning/intubating....not concerned about it being a vet tech, as they have the training and skills to do this....just want to be sure they get the right size ET tube, which comes with EXPERIENCE!!........I am sure with your vet being acutely aware of the situation with your pups trachea, he will be very careful about the size and who does the intubating for the surgery!
