That's good advice by Archie's mom. I would also say just make sure you go to a reputable breeder...where you can see their homes and the parents of the puppies. Here are some members of the Yorkshire Terrier Club Of America that are in your state, Alabama...you could give them a call. I don't know these members but it's a good start to finding a beautiful and healthy puppy.
