Ok... so i had been wanting a Yorkie (boy) for like a year and a half, maybe more... and i looked everywhere... i finally found a breeder... he told me over the phone that he only had a girl left... i told him that i wanted a boy, he just said, come look at her, boys are more territorial you're better off with a girl... so i said, alrite, i'll come by tomorrow... i did, and at first i thought she wasn't all that cute... (shhh) but i stuck around and played with her and the more i played the more i wanted her, so my mom was going to buy her for me, i didn't have cash on me or anything else for that matter, he told me that if i was serious about getting her, he could hold her for a $50 deposit, so i cut him a check , and he called the other people who were coming to see her told them she was sold... so i made payments on her (still doing so) she was $850 total... but she's the best purchase we ever made... i don't know if i would go back to that breeder... but she's been healthy the whole time i've had her... i saw the parents and they looked good, the only thing that makes me iffy about him is i got belle at about 9 or 10 weeks old, the ad was placed when the pups were 8 wks... but he did follow up with me for weeks after the purchase to make sure everything was ok... and he told me which vet to go to since i was new in the area... and we've been happy ever since, Belle stands at a Pawsome 7 pounds 2 ounces and super healthy and oh so loving and cuddly
