Hi everyone , I'm looking to buy a yorkie, I tried Pennysaver (i tried it..got scammed) as i tried other sites as well and got scammed from there too..:\ ..i tried Animal shelters and they didn't have yorkies there ..

| I would be weary of buying from an online site. If it were me buying, I would prefer direct contact with a breeder allowing me to visit on site where the pups are being kept and I am able to see the conditions, and if parents are on site. Try looking in the local newspaper classifieds. Im sure you'll find something. |

| Try the YTCA website. They are the mother club for the Yorkshire Terrier and they have a breeder referral list. It will take time and research on your part to weed through the bad breeders (I hope there are no scammers there) but if you do your part and not rush into a purchase it will be well worth it. Good luck! I hope you find your perfect forever furry friend. I forgot to add, DO NOT BUY FROM A WEBSITE! You don't know what you are getting if you do that. Will the puppy be healthy? Will it be what they said it will be? There are so many horror stories on YT alone.... Buy local, meet the breeder, the parents of your puppy, and find out what health testing was done to help make sure your pup will be healthy. Like I said, it will take a while, but it will all be worth it.

| I feel your pain. I got a lot of attitude from the breeders I contacted, requests for way too much info from the yorkie rescue groups and 'teacup' scams online. Good luck. |

| I just sent you a PM about a very reputable breeder who's been showing Yorkies for about 30 years. If she doesn't have any puppies right now, she may know who does. Good luck in your search.

| Mari, I know that I am not a scammer, but I just have one lil guy. I'm not a 'breeder' per se, just had 7 litters since 1996. Mostly for people who wanted my lovely lil babies... both Yorkies and Min Pins. This lil boy is just adorable. Will likely be his daddy's size, 5 lbs. Mom is a bit larger at 7. These are appropriate sizes for both breeds, but everyone seems to think they're large because all of the ads out there that LIE! So sad! |

| DON'T buy yorkies on line or news papers! You get what you pay for! Pay cheap now and have thousand of dollars in vet bills for the rest of the yorkies life! Pay the upfront $$$'s now and hopefully you will have a healthy dog for the rest of it's life! Go to Dog Shows and only by from a Yorkie Show Family...no I don't show nor breed but I'm now looking for a 4th yorkie after 15 years with one dog! Ask Questions and check Pedigree! If no CH. by the pedigree name...they don't show much if any! Good Luck |
