| "New family member" wanted N. California San Jose/SF I'm looking for a reputable yorkie breeder in Northern California. We will be getting a yorkie sometime between next month and end of year, so are also looking at yorkies that are available now. I'd like to start conversations with some local yorkie breeders who show or breed specifically for the health of the doggies and because they love the breed. I want to steer away from puppy mills or people who just thought it might be fun to have puppies. Also we don't have money growing on trees, so would like probably a show breeder who periodically offers puppies for pets. I've seen some nice sites in S. california, but have not really found anyone through AKC or YTCA within 50-100 miles driving distance. I'd want to be able to see the homes where the pups are raised and meet their doggie and human mom & dads. We'd also consider a young rescue puppy or shelter puppy, but want the ability to be trained up together. Please PM me if you have some thoughts. I have been regularly looking at petfinder locally on the shelters, and we were 2nd in line for two young (1 yr) babies who would have been great for us mutually, but they were adopted quickly. My preference is a puppy and knowing the home of the breeder. Anyone you know of as reputable in N. California in the San Jose or San Francisco area? Any yorkie pups available or soon to be available in our area? |

| Sounds like you pretty well know what to look for so that you get a healthy little Yorkie. Here is some links that I have put together for someone who is going to purchase a little Yorkie. Most of it probably won't be new to you. Before you purchase a little Yorkie, please read these links: Buying a dog? Beware of breeder Teacup Yorkies - Health Issues Why You Shouldn't Buy a Puppy Online! Prisoners of Greed - Puppy Mill List Buying a Yorkie? READ THIS FIRST! Yorkshire Terrier Club of America – Breeder Referrals How much is a Yorkie puppy? So be very careful. Do lots of research. Stay far away from pet stores and on-line breeders at all costs. Puppy mill operators have learned to talk the talk of good breeders. Their web sites are usually wonderful, alluring, and have positive feedback from supposed customers. Make sure that you ALWAYS are able to go to the breeder's home and see the environment that your furbaby has been raised in. It's worth the extra effort, time, and money. Remember that anyone may join YorkieTalk.......back-yard-breeders and puppy mill owners. Best wishes in your search. ~Joanne~
