| Desperate for a new puppy Hi folks! This is my very first post. I am looking for a female puppy for a pet for our family. I had a beautiful yorkie for 15 years before she passed 2 years ago. I am just now ready for another dog . My kids have been more than ready! I would be ecstatic if I could surprise them for Christmas. That would be a present to me! If anyone knows of an available female puppy in Northwest NJ area I would do a happy dance all day Thank you Colleen |

| Maybe you should try checking the breeders forums... There's always new litters available Or maybe even a rescue, because there's always a Yorkie looking for a new home Good luck with your search...

| Thank you I did look at a few rescues, but it seems that none are even somewhat local. But I will continue searching, morning noon and night! |

| Welcome to YT! Good Luck searching for a puppy. I do NOT recommend looking at breeders in the newspaper...if you do, be VERY cautious. Most breeders that advertise in the classifieds are backyard breeders, although you can occasionally find a good one. I'd check on the YTCA's website for breeder recommendations. Also check the for sale forum here and you can even post a wanted ad for a yorkie puppy in your area.

| Good luck! As MyFairLacy said, be very careful with buying from a newspaper. Backyard breeders tend to use newspapers to advertise, and around Christmas they tend to have quite a few for sale because people want to give puppies for Christmas. Look at the breeders here at YT, even if you talk to a breeder who has puppies and they aren't going to be ready until the New Year, you could give your children a picture of the puppies and tell them they're getting one? Just a thought. Good luck in your search! |

| Scam It turns out that the local adoption was a scam. when the person replied, they had relocated to Africa on a christian mission and I was to wire the shipping fees ASAP. Sounds fishy , right?! I am still searching for a Christmas puppy, wish me luck. |

| That is definitely a huge scam. You will want to make sure you check out the breeder very carefully. Make sure you get a guarantee, health check report, shot record, etc. Don't be afraid to ask questions here!

| Welcome to YT! I hope you find the perfect little bundle - even if you can't get the furbaby for Christmas. Sometimes we have to wait for the very best. Hope when you find the perfect new friend, you'll come back & share pictures & stories with all of us. We have so much fun here! And there are so many knowledgeable people too.
