Question

So then if I would start looking to get a brother or sister for Tobey, what would i look for in a puppy to see what type of personality they might have? When we got tobey we were clueless. I just decided i wanted on, we looked online and researched about scams and puppymills and things to look out for in breeders. I callled an ad in the paper and they lived close to us so we drove about 35 minutes to their house. I had decided that if i didn't get a good feeling from meeting this lady, then we would just leave. She just has wrist surgery so she said she usually sells them for more but it is hard for her to clean out their playpen, so she's selling them for $500. only one male yorkie left. grandchildren are over at the house and they lift the little man out and hand him to me and I am in LOVE!!!! The owners own 4 dogs: 2 female yorkies, 1male yorkie, and one female maltese. So they also had a litter of "morkies" avaiable but I already had my mind made up. She gave us all there paperwork ACA registry and all that, and shot records, told us about hyperglycemia and what to watch for, and gave us food and a blanket. We paid them and went on our way.

so right after we left i felt a little weird about the whole process of me giving her $500 cash and her giving me adog. but he's turned out soooooo wonderful. now i am totally addicted to this breed and will never own anything else. i want another one, but i don't want tobey to start ignoring me more to play with his buddy because right now me and him are buddies. Should i call the lady we got Tobey from since the experience was good? don't think she is "breeder" like as a profession, but they just have maybe one yorkie litter and one morkie litter a year. Tobey is in excellent health. I just know we couldn't afford to pay more than we did. even if i could save up $1000, my husband wouldn't let us spend all of it on a new puppy even though he loves tobey to death. now i am just rambling...
