Does anyone have puppies they will ship to Italy? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi,
I am an Army spouse living in Italy. I am having trouble finding a Yorkie. If I find one the cost is outragous and then to add shipping to it would just be ridiculous even though half the time they won't ship to Italy. I would prefer a puppy from Europe because getting one from the States would be such a long flight. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi and welcome to YT. Do you have any dogs now? Are Yorkies hard to find in Italy? I do hope you find your little fur-baby soon.

Hi, Thank you for your ecouragement. Yes, I have a dog now. He is a mixed breed dog we got at the pound here. He is 2 years old now. He only weighs about 20 pounds. I would like him to have a friend at home and I have wanted a Yorkie for a long time but I didn't think my kids were old enough to have such a small dog around the house until now. They are 9 and 11 and more responsible now.

I have been looking for a while but most puppies here are 600 euro and more. I dollars that is not to bad but in Euro that is a lot of money because the exchange rate is awful. 600 Euro is 810 dollars right now.

I am looking for a pet Yorkie and would prefer not to spend more than 500 dollars. Which is very difficult to do here.

I would appreciate any help!!!
Thank you

Welcome to YT and good luck with your search. Have you tried looking at rescues? It's going to be difficult to find a yorkie for $500.00 around here too.

welcome to yt. i hope you find your baby soon. most good quality yorkies in the states average around 1200.00 then to have them shipped would even be more. i hope you can find one in your area soon.
good luck to you. if you find one, please send us photos so we can see you new beautiful baby.

WELCOME TO YT!!

I know how you feel. I felt the same way when I was looking for my Bella. I waited and when I went back home on vacation, I got my Bella from the same breeder I got my Bunny from.They where both able to fly back together BC they where under the weight limit. So the flight was not so bad for them BC they had each other.

The shipping cost is only 120. They do put them in cargo thou. Thats the ONLY bad thing about it. You just have to have your puppy checked out by your vet and get health papers from your vet, for the pup. They also HAVE to be chipped.

Also have you tried Stripes.com (The army news paper) They sometimes have them listed in there. But DO be careful if you buy one from there. Some are not full blooded and have fake papers. Also if you get one from stripes. DO take the pup ASAP to the vet. Most of the time, there sick with parvo. And by the time they show any symptoms of parvo, its too late.

Again welcome to YT and don't get into a rush to find your baby. You rather get what your looking for in a pup that is healthy, then a pup that dose not have the temperament you are looking for and that is sick.
