We would like to thank Lorraine Effa of Loriben Yorkies Reg'd for permission to use her discription of what a reputable breeder is. It reflects our feelings also but we couldn't have said it near as well as she has.
WHAT IS A REPUTABLE BREEDER?
Someone once asked me what is a reputable breeder? At the time I was not willing to give a ready answer as I needed to really put some thought into it. A reputable breeder, in my opinion, hopefully is one I can only aspire to be myself, enough to hold my head up and know I am treating my dogs, my kennel name, my fellow Yorkie breeders who trust me with their line, the time they gave me to help me, my breed, and indeed the intent and purpose of the purebred and show dog world with dignity and respect.
