| I'm not sure about the price of yorkies in Texas, but I know here in Cali, that price is nearly impossible.

| a yorkie breeder in corpus I too, live in the Corpus area, and was looking to purchase a yorkie. It seems there are so few in the So. tx area, but i did find one, her name is ruth aguirre, and she was willing to hold a pup for me until i got back to tx (i am currently visiting my sister in Maryland). but i decided to wait until her next litter, in a year, since i know this year is going to be extremely tough (i graduate in the spring--college not high school ). Have not heard anything about her, but i did get her off the akc.org website. she was asking about 800 dollars for a pup and she has some available right now. if you go to akc website you can find her info...i hope this helps. oh also if you go to ytca.org website there is a breeder there listed in the corpus area. sorry, but i did not contact this breeder Good Luck!!! |

| Also a Yorkie puppy should stay with their mother till at least 10 weeks old. 12 weeks, even better. Try http://www.ytca.org/ there are many good, reputable breeders listed there. Finding a good healthy puppy is worth the time it takes. Also, go see where the puppy comes from. Visit the home and the parents and ask lots of questions! Good luck in your search!

I know there are those that feel very strongly about either breeders or buyers of Yorkies that are under 5 lbs, And that is totally their right to express their opinion. However there are quite a few people who want a tiny Yorkie. I really can not see how this preference is any different from someone wanting any other breed of dog with certain characteristics, weight etc. The weight and size of the "acceptable" Yorkshire Terrier has varied and changed over the years. I have 2 precious Yorkies which I love dearly. My oldest Yorkie (1 yo) is just at the 7 lb mark. I was definitly mislead and ripped off when I purchased her. My youngest Yorkie (almost 4 months old) is an adorable Yorkie puppy that will most probably not even reach 4 pounds. She is a Much better quality dog, that has parents that were carefully, thoughtfully and purposely bred. Overall you can not even begin to compare the 2 dogs. Size has nothing to do with it. One dog is clearly superior to the other. My older Yorkie,most likely was interbred and a puppymill pup. The difference in the 2 dogs goes far beyond their size difference. I love all my animals equally. I could not even imagine life without my furbabies. Love them all to pieces! However I continue to see posts that consistently suggest that tiny/teacup, etc Yorkies are less healthy or stable than Yorkies over 5 lbs. I can honestly say this has not been my experience. I think it has all to do with the quality of breeder, not with the weight of the puppies. But that is just my 2 cents worth and my experience. PM me if you are interested in an excellent breeder who has beautiful tiny Yorkie pups. You could not ask for a more caring and reputable breeder. | |
