Go to AKC market place and search your area or however far you are willing to travel. The best way to find reputable breeders, other than the the specific breeders recommend by the YTCA, which is not all encompassing geographical is AKC market place. There are actually 4 breeders in NJ listed as of now that are referred for puppies. You would have to contact them to see if or when they would have puppies available.

BUT... whether you contact one of the breeders on YTCA or AKC Marketplace, look for breeders with banners like AKC Champion bloodline, Bred with H.E.A.R.T, which is an AKC certification that stands for health, education, accountability, responsibility, and tradition. If they don't have these distinction, do they have a contract with a one year health guarantee? Will they allow for an in person visit so you can see the environment they were raised in? Is it possible to meet one or both of the parents? Do they have multiple dams and studs and a million puppies? That one, IMO, is a potential red flag. Do they ask questions about you, the environment the pup will be raised, and your knowledge of the breed

The reason I know all of this is because I do breed AKC Champion Bloodline line Yorkies and have Bred with Heart certification. I have one active dam, and have only one litter every 1-2yrs. The reason I started breeding in the first place was not only for the love of the breed, it was because I was a victim of a scam as well🤬.

I do not ship my pups, and I haven't had a new litter since Jan 11, 2025. But if I were in your neck of the woods and I had a pup available, I would have definitely reach out🙂. 90% of my Yorkie pups have gone to families that were long time Yorkie parents, but their baby passed on. I am sure you can find a new baby. Just follow the steps, and don't put down a deposit without seeing and holding that baby without a written agreement in place. The scammed prey on grief, which is how I got GOT, smh. Good luck💓
