Looking for a breeder in Ohio - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Pup-e-Love · 03-06-2007, 09:35 AM

What a wonderful site! I have been browsing for a couple of months now, and I thought it was high time I join!

I am new to the puppy scene. I have two small children (5 and 7yrs.) so I wanted to wait about a year before we get a Yorkie (my all time favorive breed!

). My children are good with animals, but I just wanted to make sure getting a puppy was a good experience all around (for us and the puppy).

I am looking for a breeder in Ohio, as I do not want to have a puppy shipped across the country.
Here are some questions that I have:
Is it too soon to start looking for a breeder?
How will I know when I find a good one?

You guys are the best! Thanks in advance for any advice!

HI!! Welcome to YT, you will love it here!!
I can tell you a few good breeders in Ohio that I know of.

Linda Steele, user name is lksdolls and her website is www.garlinyorkies.info
Linda is a great caring woman who really loves all her yorkies. I got my Destiny from her and hope to some day get another one from her. There are a few yt members who have pups from her and they will all tell you the same.
I recommend her to everyone, she always has gorgeous healthy puppies and is always honest with you.

The next two breeders, I have not gotten a yorkie from them personally but they are both great breeders.

Next breeder is www.countryyorkies.com
I was going to get a pup from Cindy but I went to Linda's first and fell in love with Destiny. I talked to her and she is also a great woman who loves her yorkies.

Next breeder is Sunset Yorkies, http://www.freewebs.com/sunsetyorkies/
Faith is also a member on YT. She too is a wonderful woman who loves and really cares about her yorkies. Her male Spike, is Destiny's half brother. And Spike of course came from Linda.

All 3 are wonderful caring breeders and you can't go wrong with any of them!!

Oh and I decided I was going to wait a year until I got a second yorkie, but like her name says, Destiny, just had to come and be a part of my life. But I orginally did search months ahead of time before I decided to get Destiny, (I too wanted to find a good breeder and get to know them before I got a puppy), it just was more like 6 months rather than a year. So you never know, you may get your yorkie sooner than you think!! But it certaintly isn't too soon to look for a breeder!!
Good luck finding your yorkie baby to love!!

Thanks MyTrixie! I will definitely look into these. I have done a Google search for an Ohio breeder, but I have not found too many there.
Thanks again for your guidance!

PS. I have become addicted to this site!

I just don't know what's wrong with me! I am having so much fun reading everyone's threads I just can't stop!

Thanks for the compliments Tracey.
Linda is a wonderful breeder and person.I actually got to meet Linda this past Sun.and took Spike along.I had a great time seeing her and all of her yorkies.
I have never actually met Cindy before either but have e-mailed with her quite a few times and she is a very nice lady who will help you out in any way she can.I would love to get a yorkie from her someday.

Pup-e-love~good luck on your seach for your yorkie and if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me and I will help the best I can.

Pup-e-Love · 03-06-2007, 07:30 PM

Thanks Faith!
I have put your website into my favorites list. My mother-in-law lives in Chillicothe and we go to visit often!

I'm not sure if I have gotten a little ahead of my self or not, but......
Do I need to go on a waiting list this early? I am interested in getting a female when the time is right, and I think sometimes there is more of a demand for the girls, right?

Maybe I should ask it this way.......
How soon should I contact you when we know we are ready?

You guys have all been so helpful!

Thanks,
Steph

My baby Hope is also from Linda at www.garlinyorkies.com! I flew up and got this precious bundle of joy from Linda and it was a great decision. Linda is great and has been so helpful to me! My baby is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not bought from her, but from everything that I have seen thus far, she looks like a very reputable breeder. She has all her pups bile acid tested and full blood panels on them before she sells them to ensure that you have a healthy pup. You know what you are getting when you buy from her. She's such a nice lady too...She's a member of YorkieTalk...Her username is YorkieRini, I think. Take a look at her website.
And no, it's not too soon to start looking for the right breeder

It's good to have a relationship with your breeder before you actually get your dog. Good luck!!

Pup-e-Love · 03-12-2007, 08:10 AM

Thanks Yorkieluv, I'm will definitely check her out.

Yorkieluv · 03-12-2007, 10:21 AM

No problem

Even though Im a fairly new yorkie breeder in ohio, and also strive on health... she would be an other great breeder to get a pup from! I have heard nothing but good things about her!

Welcome to YT and thanks so much to the mommies of my furbabies. Because you have younger children, I might suggest getting a yorkie that is going to be a little bigger, more sturdy than some of the smaller ones. Even though you think you are not ready right now, I have what might be the perfect yorkie for you. Anio is gorgeous and he's going to be bigger, I'm guessing maybe around 8 pounds or so. He was born Jan. 2nd to Little Reggie (Love) and MoJo but he looks like he's taking after his grandfather Tucker. We left for FL on March 6th and he was just a little bigger than the pups that are about 2 weeks older than him. But when we came back a week later, he was almost double their size. He's a sweetie and for those who remember Alphy (living in WA with YT member) Anio is much like him. I've attached pics of him but they are not up to date, it was taken Feb. 2nd. I will try and get some new ones this week and post them on my website. More pics of Anio: http://www.garlinyorkies.info. And I'm in Ohio.

Tiggerwit · 03-15-2007, 09:20 PM

Oh I love Alphy!!! He's the bestest mostest sweetest love muffin around. Thanks Linda!!!

Mueyinter · 03-16-2007, 06:40 AM

Linda is a wonderful breeder. I hope to be able to adopt one of her furbabies in the future.

I agree with getting a larger yorkie if you have kids. I have a 6lb yorkie and a 10lb yorkie. The 10 lb yorkie plays with my Daughter much better. When I go to pick her up from School he always whines to go with me. When she lays down he lays down beside he and protects her. My 6lb yorkie really doesnt have anything to do with her. We are so glad chachi turned out to be bigger
