| Thats a really good question. I to am looking for a yorkie pup. I live in NJ and there doesn't seem to be a lot of yorkie breeders in the state. I had one place but they don't have any pups now. I did find a website call gpyorkies.com the price is in my range and the puppies look so cute. Any info. on this breeder? |

| From what I have read, I would not buy a yorkie that is shipped. It is best to find a breeder that you can visit because you don't know the conditions the puppies were in, or how reputable the breeder is. |

| I know I would love to find a puppy in the area, but it seems like there are very few in NJ or out of my price range. I was looking to have a puppy in September so I do have time. Thanks for your reply. Vicki |

| Here are some good respectable breeders, that will work with you to get the perfect yorkie. The first breeder I'm going to list is my first choice and thats only because I have purchased from him before and the puppy was exactly as he described, but better and in perfect health. And I think he is pretty reasonable on his prices his name is Robert and his e-mail is Honeysuckle-ridge-kennel@hotmail.com. My vet said the puppy is in perfect health and that Robert is a good breeder. He will e-mail your right away and send pictures of the available puppies and their parents. My second choice would be www.irresistibletinytreasures.com, although I did not purchase from her she is a very nice lady that will do everything she can to get you the perfect yorkie you are looking for. I would of purchased from her but I found Robert and he had one available at the time and she didn't that is the only reason I did not purchase one from her. Good Luck and happy yorkie hunting.

| Here is my little Nemo I got from Robert, he is the cuttest little thing. Another way to see if a breeder is good is you need to talk to them on the phone. Ask them all the questions you have and they should be able to answer them with NO problem and even give you more information than you asked for, thats when you know they are good.
