Hello everyone,

I am so glad I found this wonderful site, I have been nosing around all day but I still have a few questions yet to ask.

This will be my very first Yorkie- I have never had one before. However, I have had a shih-tzu and a maltese so I am aware of how to care for a long haired small dog.

My question is basically this: Where can I find a quality yorkie pup in the US? I live in Addison, TX but will travel or make other arrangements if necessary.

I am looking for a SMART puppy (haven't decided whether female or male) who would mature somewhere between 3-5 pounds. Of course like everyone else I do want a babydoll face, shorter muzzle-the Forever Puppy Look. But most important is attitude and personality. I want a dog who is laid back but can play too.

If anyone could lead me in the correct direction that would be great. Right now I am working with one breeder who does have some male pups available but I want to see if there is any other breeders who I mesh well with as well. My budget will allow a price of $750-$1,200 or so. I understand these dogs are expensive (again I had a Maltese and Shihtzu before) but I am finding that this price range is reasonable for a pet quality Yorkie. I am not going to be spending $3,000-$5,000 for a pet yorkie-i have no interest in showing or breeding.

Thanks again! SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!
