LF: Male Biewer Puppy around Ontario

[Gardeness]

I am looking for a new puppy to join my family of a 6 year old ShihTzu boy Charlie and 4 year old Yorkie boy Mac. I would prefer a Biewer puppy in Ontario but would consider from a breeder in the USA - very close to the Niagara Falls border.

I am looking to pick up a puppy mid December and so am searching for a breeder now. I've already been in touch with -
- Niagara Biewers,
- Garden Grown Biewers and
- Biewers.com of Ottawa
None can promise mid December availability.

Are there any other reliable Biewer breeders around central or southern Ontario? Thanks for any leads to a new boy to complete my family.

I have to ask if the puppy is intended as a Christmas present? Because a lot of breeders won't sell their puppies if the puppy is intended as a gift. Needing mid-December availability is very specific, you may need to be more flexible about when you get a puppy...

Thank you for your response. This puppy is definitely NOT a Christmas present. It is for myself and I know I am being specific for pick up time - as I would like to pick it up at the beginning of my 3 week vacation. That way I can spend 3 weeks to ensure the transition goes well and to start training the pup and introducing it to my other 2 dogs. I will be crate-training the puppy so that by the end of my three week vacation my other dogs will be used to it (and it used to them) and I can leave it in a crate within the kitchen area, while I go back to work. I can't pick up the puppy if I'm not on vacation.

Liz, try Brenda Green....Greens Treasured Yorkies, member Breny on here...I believe she has Parti yorkies...she is in Michigan, I have spoken too her, she will meet you part way at the bridge.

That sounds great! Being able to be with the puppy 24/7 for the first few weeks will make things so much easier. I think breeders will understand in your case.

We actually got Jax in mid-December a couple years ago, not really as a Christmas present, the timing just worked out that way. When we took him in to the vet they asked us if he was a Christmas present, and when we said no, you could see the relief in the vet and 2 techs!

Thank you (again) Jacqui! I may try her if the current options don't work out. By Wednesday I'll know if I'm getting a puppy from Garden Grown Biewers in Midland, Ontario. She will hold the male "nutmeg" until Dec 14 IF she decides to keep a female of her pups. She would hold the male for me at no charge if she decides to keep a female to breed with. Or she also offer me co-ownership of a puppy that she would pay for (from a different breeder) as she needs a new male for her breeding line. She would pay for the puppy (that we both agree on) and I would keep him (intact) and pay all vet/food/training bills. She would borrow him about 4-6 times a year for breeding. After 6 years the dog would be mine outright (retired). I'm not sure if I want to go that route. I'd rather have a puppy that is mine from the start and get him neutered right away. She and I will decide if we will go with either option by Wednesday.

Thanks for understanding my vacation restrictions. I so hate when people buy animals (any kind) for Christmas!! The animals never win in those cases.

If you get the breeding male be prepared to keep belly bands on him for life, even after neutering. It is VERY difficult to train them not to mark after that habit has formed, trust me!

Good to know! Thanks! Makes me really not want to go that route then. My other two are well trained to let me know when they want to go outside.

OMG OMG OMG! Gail in Midland (of Garden Grown Biewers) has agreed to hold a puppy for me until mid December!!! OMG I'm getting a Biewer!!! I will be going to visit her on Sunday to make a decision as to exactly which one. I'm about to start running around in circles myself - I'm so excited!
