| Help!!wanted Yorkie.. I'm new to this site, so hello to all!! I'm in desperate need of HELP..I've been wanting a yorkie for SO long now, but finding the right one seems to be MUCH difficult than I thought it would be! I've searched the internet several times for literally hours trying to find something, But it's hard to find one at a reasonable price. I am only 18yrs. old, so I'm sure you understand. Not only that, but my area (Bay Area, Ca.) seems to have no breeders..their mostly all FAR away. And I don't want a puppy that has has to be shipped, I want to be able to meet the Yorkies and determine not only on their appearance,but their personaility too!! With that said, is anyone willing to share with me how they got their precious Yorkie? I would appreciate it SO MUCH!!!! If it helps I'm looking for a male yorkie puppy. THANKS -Valerie |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Welcome to YT. Good to be armed with knowledge before buying one of these babies. Lots of folks on her might be able to direct your search. One thing I want you to think about is that College is right around the corner and you will have to figure out if you are willing to leave baby behind when you go off to college. SO that is just one more thing you should contemplate. Hugs.

| Welcome to YT! A good place to start when looking for breeders is www.ytca.org They have a list of breeders that agree to abide by their ethics and code of conduct. There are several breeders in California. Even if the ones on that list don't have puppies available currently, they may be able to refer you to other great breeders that do.

| Hiya, WELCOME to YT! You should check out the Yorkies for Sale section rather than posting in the Pictures thread, you might find a breeder there and more people who are interested in selling puppies will read your message. Best of luck in finding your yorkie baby! D- |

| I don't know your situation but if going away to college is in your near future, I would take that into consideration. I am a college student myself and believe me, steady cash flow is not always happening! Purchasing the puppy is not the only expense...think lots of vet bills, food, toys, puppy pads, etc... Now that's out of the way... Yorkies make great pets! You definitely picked a great breed. You might try Petfinder.com or search the classifieds in your area newspaper. I found both of my puppies' breeders in the newspaper. Hope this helps and good luck with your search!
