| WANTED : Yorkie in Wayne, NJ (07470) Hi all, I am interested in adding a Yorkie puppy to our loving family, which currently consists of my wife, 6 yr old daughter, 2 year old son and myself (38 yrs old). We also have 2 parakeets/budgies that are currently trying to hatch 2 eggs Male yorkie is preferable, AKC registered is a must and would like to avoid shipping. I read on here that it should be at least 10 weeks old and have all required shots at week 12, so this will be a consideration for us. I had dogs throughout my childhood/teens and have actually matured a bit since then, so I will make an excellent father . Our intention is that this dog will not be just a pet to us, but a true member of our family. *Also, we will make a donation to YorkieTalk if we are able to find our baby here.* Thanks in advance for your consideration! |

| I'm in Teaneck, NJ. I got my Yoshi from a rescue called Operation Little Dog. He's a so sweet & very healthy. In fact, we're visiting an adoption today & they do have a male Yorkie available. Here's their link...Adopt A Lab - Helping Labrador Retrievers Find Their Forever Homes I sent you a PM as well. Good luck with your search!

| Thanks Couvers; I have checked but they rarely get any yorkies, mostly pitbulls and cats. Thanks Teresiana, I will check that out for sure!! |

My furkids Donating Member | welcome to yt and good luck in your search!! They do have yorkie rescues...have you considered looking into those? Also,....don't be surprised if a breeder won't sell to you because you have small children...Most breeders won't

| Good luck in your search. Welcome to YorkieTalk Many breeders don't sell to homes with small children though. Rescues are the same unless the yorkie is oversized.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | maybe you should consider a silky terrier is a bigger sturdier dog. 7 - 11 pounds of pure love too... just a suggestion to people with young children.. hugs, |

| Thank you all for the warm welcome, information and good wishes! Hmm, I would generally understand not wanting to sell to a family with small kids (we are definitely not looking for a "micro" or "teacup" variety, especially since they do not exist), but every child/family is different. My 6.5 year old has checked out several books on Yorkies from her school library (in an effort to convince me that Yorkies are better than my childhood dogs: Lab, Dachsund and Doberman), admittedly knows as much about the breed as I do and would help us take care of the puppy immensely. Lots of space in our home too, so Yorkie would not be cramped or anything. I DO find it highly commendable that a breeder would forego profit for the sake of the puppy's quality of life...just wanted to expand on our info in case any of you are "on the fence" Looking into a rescue recommended by a member here, could not make it in time to today's adoption but will try again next time.Thanks again. |

| Hmmm. I've been talking to an existing owner who is looking to sell me their 13 week old yorkie male. No paperwork other than vaccine card for puppy and medical history info on the sire/dam. Also has entry papers into the US for the parents (originally from South America). I just don't know...What do you guys/gals think? |

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | Please be careful of scammers...have you actually seen the pup? Why is she/he looking to rehome? I ask because a good breeder does not let their pup go to their forever home before 12 weeks, and this pup is just 13wks? JMO, but i smell something fishy here...and no papers??!! Could be just me and my paranoia, I wouldn't.....

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I agree. There is a lot of scammers out there. I got an email from some guy that said the wanted to rehome his puppy he was from the states and moved th south Africa. Wants to send the dog back to the states. Idk how this guy got my email. But I deleted it. There is a lot of scammers mentioning south africa. Google it. There is lots of warnings. Please be careful. All they do is take your money. I would only look for rep breeders YTCA website is a good place or a rescue |
