| Female Yorkie wanted NJ Hi, I am new to the community and this is my first post. I have been looking for a smaller Yorkie puppy for a while now and have had no luck. My mother had one for a while and we all fell in love with it, including my children. I know they seem to be priced a lot higher but unfortunately we are living on one income and we are only able to pay about $300.00 to $400.00. If anyone in the area would be able to help us I would be really great full, My girls have been wanted a dog for a while now and because we have a small yard and my husband has allergy's we need a small hypoallergenic puppy. Thanks, Kelli |

| Hi Kelli, Have you thought about rescue?? I think that would be your best bet, since the rescue charges are about in your price range. I doubt you can find a yorkie puppy for $300. Also, you don't say how old your girls are but a small dog is not appropriate for very small children, no matter how well behaved. Children run in the house, slam doors, plop on couches and act like children!! A small dog could get hurt by accident and your daughters would feel terrible. Anyway, just some things to think about. Good Luck.

| Before you purchase a little Yorkie, please read these links: Buying a dog? Beware of breeder Teacup Yorkies - Health Issues Why You Shouldn't Buy a Puppy Online! Prisoners of Greed - Puppy Mill List Buying a Yorkie? READ THIS FIRST! Yorkshire Terrier Club of America – Breeder Referrals How much is a Yorkie puppy? Cutting Corners So be very careful. Do lots of research. Stay far away from pet stores and on-line breeders at all costs. Puppy mill operators have learned to talk the talk of good breeders. Their web sites are usually wonderful, alluring, and have positive feedback from supposed customers. Make sure that you ALWAYS are able to go to the breeder's home and see the environment that your furbaby has been raised in. It's worth the extra effort, time, and money. Remember that anyone may join YorkieTalk.......back-yard-breeders, unethical breeders, and puppy mill owners. Best wishes in your search. ~Joanne~
