I finally found the perfect breeder to buy from!!

[keisha1226]

Thanks to all of my reseach and help from u loyal YT members I have finally found a GOOD and HONEST breeder in the South FL area her name is Lois Maggio(her website Home Page - Lois' Precious Yorkies) I found her on AKC.org American Kennel Club - Online Breeder Classifieds, Sponsored by K9 Advantix she is really sweet and I can hear the love a passion in her voice while we were own the phone talking about her furbabies what made her stand out to me was out of all the website I been on she was the only one who mention on her website that I raise Standard Yorkies not Teacups.And that was a big deal for me since most YT members say run from a breeder that mention teacup. Also I think it really cute that she give u a baby book of your new baby from when its born to its first bath...etc now thats dedication I'm so happy right now that I went from almost buying at a pet store to finding a honest breeder that care and love her babies once again THANK YOU SO MUCH YT!!! U GUYS ROCK

she has a boy ready now but i want a girl so i will have to wait until the mom has her litter at the end of march then wait 12 more weeks o my thats long but when i get back in fl after i leave ga at the end of the month she said i can come over and meet the parents of the pups and i was thinking of pretty, sassy lady , or maybe diamond idk which one do u like

The health guarantee isn't so great. She only replaces a pup with hereditary or congenital defects if it dies within 30 days of delivery. A lot of those types of problems may not show up for a year or two, and some can be fixed with very expensive surgeries, which would be your responsibility, not hers, under the contract.

congrats on getting a baby yorkie! they are super awesome and it seems from all i can see that your breeder is pretty decent. i don't see any major red flags so far!! good luck meeting the parents and your new breeder. i hope it goes well and her pups are as nice as she seems to be. and i hope you get a healthy and happy little girl soon... pictures are a must!!

i did notice that. it made me a little concerned. you might just make sure that these pups have had all their health and genetic testings and ask lots and lots and lots of questions. a good breeder will be happy to answer them all and should be able to give you a good idea of the dog's ancenstry, lineage, and health and genic backgrounds.

I saw a couple of red flags on the contract. Only offers a replacement pup should the pup die of a congenital defect. Does not stipulate if monitary arrangements of a refund will be given if a pup is diagnosed with Liver Shunt.

Sounds like you are on the right track! I don't know anything about the breeder you mentioned, so I can't give any recommendation there. I will say that you can't just go off of what you see on a website, or what they tell you over the phone. Good place to start, but you will want to find out so much more. The next steps are really important.

It was really important for me to talk to the breeder in person, at their residence. Then you can see the sire and dam and the living conditions for the dogs. Take a list of questions to ask when you visit. When you are there you don't want to get too distracted with the puppies to actually get the info you need. Ask about the breeding lines the dam and sire come from, ask about testing...so much more, I'm sure there is a sticky somewhere with all the info.

When does she let the puppies go home? This right here will tell you a lot about the breeder, IMO. The best breeders want the pup to be 12 weeks or older.

You've been given a lot of good advice. I commend you so much for listening to it. Don't stop now! You buy the breeder first...and the puppy second.

I believe several recommended you visit the YTCA breeder referral. Anyone can be listed on the AKC breeders list that has AKC registered dogs. I too was not impressed with the contract or the health guarantee or honestly the looks of her dogs or puppies... There's a big lack of information about her puppies or the parents. I believe Mardelin suggested you speak with Pat (YorkieRose) who lives in Florida and could direct you to breeders she knows.

YOU are certainly free to contact the Goldcoast Yorkie club of SO FLorida for local breeders...
I thought you made a committment to buy a female puppy....the breeder you are dealing can easily be on this forum and I would perfer not to have a problem...
