Yes, InkedMarie, you are absolutely right, reputable breeders usually do have waiting lists.
I bought my 3 girls from exactly those kinds of breeders.
I was so fortunate, to have met my 1st Yorkies breeder through a friend, over 30 years ago.
I was trying to make time go faster, (I was struggling with the lonliness of missing Kia) when I was looking at pictures on puppyfind. The fact that the listing said Champion Sired, piqued my curiosity, and I googled the breeders name before sending an e-mail.
Really appeared to be active in Showing, etc.
Yes, I agree, it was thr right thing to return the puppy.
