Can anyone recommend a Yorkie breeder?

I am looking a Yorkie.

I want to buy from someone who loves their dogs, and not just out to make a quick penny. My last wee girl was not well socialised, I think she was kept in a shed until we got her, so was very bad with strangers and other dogs.

I would prefer the North direction, (Derry, Tyrone & Antrim) and would pay about £400. I dont want to buy out of the paper. I dont think good breeders need to advertise.

With regards to your Thread Title

Don't know about Yorkie Breeders but you can buy them in most Supermarkets, Petrol Stations or Corner Shops... Sorry couldn't resist... Sad I know

Breed club members have to abide by a code of ethics which ams to ensure that pups are bred for health, temperament and conformation from healthy parents that are not used as breeding machines.

I despair of ads for 'miniature' Yorkies (and...even worse...teacup!). Yorkshire Terriers come in ONE size (approx 7lbs), although, judging by the many dodgily bred ones I come across, they can vary between chihuahua sized and spaniel sized. My friend's husband bought her a 'miniature' as a surprise (from an ad in the paper) several years ago...it's huge!

I rang them before, and they never got back to me. My yorkie was about 5lb, 4-7lb is the standard.

There are 3 local breeders listed on https://www.champdogs.co.uk that might be a strting point for your enquiries. I have no idea as to their reputability (Yorkies are not my breed).

There is a dog show at Kings Hall tomorrow...that's always a good way to 'find' breeders.
