Desperately seeking a Yorkie Puppy

[unicorn]

Does anyone know of any Yorkie breeders from Inverness up? I have a family member who desperately wants a pup to replace her much loved Yorkie. Brilliant home guaranteed.

Hi Unicorn

sorry don't know of any yorkie breeders but just wanted to say that if your family member does find a breeder please get them to check that the breeder BILE ACID TESTS puppies.......

Yorkies are a breed that has high numbers of puppies born with Liver Shunts (what my Brodie was born with) and this simple test would show at an early age any pups with a shunt. Unfortunately they would then be PTS but better that than the problems it would be storing up for a potential owner who by the time it was discovered would be bonded with the puppy

Hi Unicorn, if you go to the kennel club website they have a list of breeders and a puppy finding service too so hopefully you will find one soon, can't think of anyone who breeds these as my connections are really only russells and gundogs.

The nearest yorkshire terrier breeder ive seen is Aberdeen. :eek:

Thanks for the info Dragonfly I will pass that on. I contacted the Scottish yorkie club secretary and her closest was Elgin or Burghead. I will have a look on the Kennel club website kathy thanks for that.
