Looking for puppy - in CT, or someone that ships
 

I've been searching for Yorkie puppies for a little while now. I'm a 23 year old female, from CT. I already have a 1 year old Chihuahua, and an 8 year old mixed larger dog. They get along wonderfully, and ADORE all other animals from dogs to cats to turtles. So i'm looking to add one more baby to the family. I began my search on puppyfind.com, and thought a lot of their prices seemed very reasonable. But, i'm not one to click on the first one i see and purchase, so i read around... and came to find out that most of the ones listed are part of the puppy scam going on. I've got MANY emails from different "breeders", saying they are missionaries... need to place puppies... will ship to me, from Africa/Nigeria. I've heard ALL the stories, i believe NONE of them, but it's VERY discouraging. I see sites online, all the puppies are $1800+! That's FAR too much for me, as i'm looking to spend around $500.

So, with all that said, i'm looking for a yorkie puppy. Male or female, a younger age range but doesn't have to be the fresh 2 months, 4 or 5 months would do just fine. Someone that would ship to CT would be nice. A reputable seller, that i could speak to.

Good luck in your search. Have you checked petfinder.com?

I actually did spend some time on petfinder last night, and didn't come across anything that met what i was looking for, mostly because there aren't many in my area, but also there were many that are sickly, or with some sort of past disease or health problems and while i am aware that some come into health problems (i've had my share of them!) i'd rather start with a healthy dog than a dog with already existing problems that i would have to deal with. For some reason that sounds wrong on many levels, but i hope you understand what i mean.

I looked on petfinder too - Yorkies are hard to come by for sure. There is only one in my "area" (8 hours away) and he is already 14 years old and the adopting price is $200!!

Have you tried the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America? They have listings of breeders in all of the states. Here is the link: http://www.ytca.org/breeder_referral.html I am also in CT. Where in CT are you? I will also be looking for a new puppy next year. I don't have much to spend either but I know it will have to be more than $500, especially for a girl, which is what I want. Good luck on your search for your new baby. :)

Just a thought...it would be better to know of an existing condition in a rescue, than take a chance on a 'cheap' pup that may cost much more in the long run. jmo, good luck in your search.

I agree. Most of the time the more "expensive" pups are the ones that have had tests. The "cheaper" ones from the bad breeders haven't had their shots and some of them had never been to the vet, like poor Brandy was when we saved her from the bad place. But after I saw the filth she was living in I had to get her out of that stinky box. So far she's okay, but you never know what problems will come up later.

wow i was about to start the same thread! (Im NEW btw) My name is Nicole and I am also from CT and i am ALSO looking for a yorkie breeder. lol. If anyone finds any information of reputable breeders in CT or that ship I would love to know!

I just did a google search and i stumbled across "Turyanne Reg'd" has anyone ever heard of them? Thanks :D

for some reason i couldnt figure out the edit button (sorry!) so I just wanted to add this.

Edit : I forgot to add, why are (some) gentic health contracts for a short period of time (10 weeks to a year)? I know a wonderful Standard Poodle breeder who has a lifetime contract with all her poodles (show or pet quality)! I find it very distrubring that the yorkie breeders I am finding dont stand 100% by their yorkie and guarantee that the yorkie that was adopted (purchased) wont get sick because of poor breeding! :confused:

Well, Im from Mass which is not too too far from you and I got both my babies at a place called "laughlin kennels" Both are very healthy now but my little girl had a bad bad cold when I first got her in Nov. At that time they also had another adorable yorkie. Dont know if they still do though. Good Luck to you. Oh and I paid 1200 for Louie, and 1500 for Bella......just to give you an idea. :aimeeyork :animal36

Judge Not!!
 

I Bought Myself A Yorkie In August, Paying $2800 For Him. I Love Him To Death.... I Wanted A Little Girl To Spoil As Much As I Do My Other Puppy. I Also Have A 3 Year Old, And I Was Recently Declared Disabled. I Am Not Able To Give Her The Proper Care She Needs For Being So Young, Without Neglecting The Others. I Have Many Surgeries Coming Up, And I Dont Want To Negelct Her. My Other Male Is Older And Easier To Care For.....

I Was Stoked When I Received Her For Xmas. We Are Devastated To Give Her Up. We Are Selling Her Cheaper Than We Paid Just To Give Her To A Good Home.

So Before You Judge, Get The Facts Straight!!

Someone Would Be Excited To Get Her For Valentines Day!

I hope you find her a good home! Do you have a picture of her you could post! I hope your health improves, I know it must be difficult to give her up but only you know your situation and it sounds like you only have the pups best interest at heart.

Thanks.. How Do I Post Pics?
 

THANKS SO MUCH! My fiance was hoping a female puppy would cheer me up. I always wanted a little girl. She is spoiled! I just can't do it. I dont want to be selfish. I am not sure how to post pics... can you help?? I do have many pics

All I am saying is that it's not a great idea to buy a yorkie as a gift for any holiday. It's best to have the person with you to make an informed decision. It's a 13+ year commitment so the puppy should be everything the person wanted including, health, sex, bloodlines, etc. I really hope that anyone who wants to get someone a puppy for v-day lets the other person know about it and help choose the puppy. Sometimes good things happen, but overall I don't think it's best to spring a puppy on someone.

Loving Home
 

I Do Already Have A Yorkie Male, 7 Months. I Wanted A Little Female Because I Do Not Have A Duaghter Of My Own. I Wanted A Little Girl To Spoil. I Was There When She Was Purchased, But After Buying Her, I Found Out I Have 4 More Surgeries Coming So I Will Not Be Able To Give Her Proper Care. A Baby Needs A Lot Of Love And Care. I Know She Will Make Someone Else Very Happy. Many People Asked For One For Xmas And Didnt Get 1, Maybe Valentines Day Will Be The Time! It Was A Suggestion. I Dont Want To Be Selfish And Keep Her. I Want Her To Have A Happy Life

Im sorry to hear of all your problems with your health. I wish you the best of luck with everything, Including finding your little girl a wonderful home. You made the right decision. God Bless!

Thank You!!
 

Thanks for the best wishes.... It is just very stressful. I can't wait until it is over!

Purrfectprlnces ...

Is your puppy still available? I understand that it doesn't have papers but has it seen a vet? Is it up to date on its shots?
