YT 1000 Club Member | Looking for female in January or later in Austin, TX Hello, all! I will be looking for a female yorkie later on in the year. I am still researching the breed and what not and am not looking to buy now but in a few months. I am looking for a breeder (or someone who has to sell their baby) around Austin (about a 4 hour drive or less). I might have a budget of $1000 or more. I will be looking in my local papers when the time comes but wanted references from people on YT so I can have a broad range of options of were I will get my litle girl. PLUS... i would like to recieve weekly updates and YT is a great way of getting them (that's why i'm advertising here!). I am also willing to share info on myself ("Just ask and I shall tell.") Thanks in advance!!!! |

| I am 3 hours from Austin. Good luck in your search. I hope you find the perfect match! I am impressed that you are doing your research first. I have two little girls, one of whom will be ready to go in October, but haven't decided to who yet. If you would like to see her click on my website under puppies and nursery. Nancy

YT 1000 Club Member | I got these from many, many sites! What do you guys think of these questions when getting a new baby? Can you suggest more? Thanks How long have you been in the breed? What others have you bred? What kind of congenital defects are present in this breed? What steps are you taking to decrease these defects? Do you have the parents on site? Can I see them? What are the good and bad points of the parents? What titles to they have? How do you feel the two bloodlines compliment each other? Can you explain the puppy's pedigree? How many litters do you have a year? What guarantees do you have for this puppy? When can I take the puppy home? What kind of exercise does this dog need? What's the difference between keeping a male or a female? How do you use a crate? What's the difference between the less expensive and more expensive puppies? Are there any books you can recommend about this breed? Are you a member in good standing of your breed club? Will you sponsor me for membership in the breed club? How long have you been involved in the breed? Do you show your dogs in conformation or obedience? Does the sire and dam have certification from OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals?) for hips and elbows? How would you describe the temperament of the sire and dam? What is the price of your puppies? Does size factor into cost? Are both parents registered with the American kennel Club? How much do the Sire and Dam weigh? How many years experience does do you have? Have puppies been checked for worms or been wormed? Do you allow you pups go with Full Registeration (if the buyer 'seems' to know their research and will ask for help if never bred before {because that is what I am interested in, just to let you know up front}) ? Do both the sire and the dam have correct dentition (all of their teeth AND a scissors bite)? How do you keep yourself educated and informed as a breeder? Do you require companion dogs to be neutered or spayed (or do you allow the new owners to decide because they may believe it's in they're safety to not take the operations)? Where and how are the puppies raised? Are you willing to take back any dog you produce, irregardless of age, if the owner is unable to keep the dog for any reason? Do you support rescue? How old is the female (dam)? 2) How many litters has she had? 3) How frequently is she bred... every heat... every other heat? 4) What genetic (hereditary) testing has she had & the male? what type of research did you do to select the sire? If it is their first litter, what other experienced breeders are helping to evaluate the puppies? Are the dogs and puppies raised in the house, or in the kennels ? Who gives your shots? What are the strengths and weakness of your bloodlines. Shots & worming, and how many have the puppies had? How big or small do you think the dog will be? Are you willing to send video clips of parents and pups with my name on a piece of paper by them? I Have More! |

YT 1000 Club Member | Oh, really! where at? Can you post pictures of the sire and dam? It would be great because you will be close by and I will be able to see them in person when the time comes. |

| Southeast Texas Yorkies Although we do not have puppies available now, you are welcome to visit our site for lots of good information on choosing a breeder and choosing the right puppy for your family. The link is below: http://www.southeasttexasyorkies.com/choosing_a_breeder We are also adding a page this week concerning commercially sold pet food and some of its dangers.....It is a really big decision and very refreshing to see someone putting in a great deal of time an effort into the process. |

YT 1000 Club Member | Hello, All! I have decided to push up the time to get a yorkie by a couple months. Other than January I've decided around mid to late November. I will have a budget of around $1000-1200 for a female (AKC, please). I would also like info on what comes with her (including pics of parents)... If you can refer a breeder who will have pups ready soon i would appreciate it! Looking at the surrounding areas of Austin (about 250miles or less is best).... Thanks (I forgot to add: I prefer 16wks-6months but will look at all) |
