Where can I get a Yorkie puppy?

Answer 1

A local yorkie rescue or shelter! Type in "Yorkshire terrier rescue (your state here)" and play with that until you find one! Save a life!

Answer 2

I always use a good kennel now, but I pay more. Check the Yorky Kennel out first for yourself. If they won't let you see the mother, get out of there!! Good kennels usually only sell one breed or two at the most. More than that and you have a "puppy mill" and that's bad news. Also, look in the nearest large town paper's want ads. Circle your favorite Yorky ad and call to talk to them over the phone and get a feel for the situation and what kind of people they are. You want someone who you can just tell loves their dogs.

Answer 3

I would start by going to the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America's website (http://www.ytca.org/frame_index2.html) and look for reputable breeders in your area on their breeder referral page. If you are set on adopting a Yorkie, than you look for that information on the club's website (all parent clubs have a rescue group and area rescue contacts). A final option is to go to your local ASPCA and look for one.

That being said, do not go to a pet store as these are dogs from puppy mills or irresponsible breeders. And breeder that does not care who there puppy goes to, does not want to meet and interview the person, or does not allow you into their house and kennel is an irresponsible breeder. These are people who lack ethics and care only about the financial gain. These are people who will not be there for you when you have a problem or question.

Answer 4

Try the breed clubs for a reputable breeder be prepared to be put on a waiting list if the breeder is well respected..

Stay away from free ads and pet shops the pups frequently suffer from behaviour issues as they have been taken away from their mum and litter mates far too early and they usually have only just weaned, these pups come from money making breeders who repeatedly breed their b i t ch e s at every season with ever increasing health issues and behaviour problems..

Would you rather pay a cheap pet shop price and be saddled with vets bills for a poorly puppy or a healthy puppy properly reared with love and care from a respected knowledgable breeder?

Good luck.

Answer 9

For reputable breeders try the national breed club, the AKC and also breed rescues. Find a breeder that lets you come, visit and inspect their home. Make sure that they act like you are getting one of their own children-offering contracts, health guarantees and mentoring.
