Hi there,
I only have one Yorkie; a female and I was lucky enough to get her from the Baltimore County Animal Shelter. Since I didn't use a breeder, I can't give you a recommendation.
The Vet that I use is Westview Animal Hospital on Johnnycake Road in Baltimore County. They are great. They explain everything to the parent. I use Petco Grooming services: 410-581-3548, but I try to bathe her myself at least once a week.
I haven't calculated the yearly cost, but my Baby is fairly healthy. Just watch out for their dental care. I had to have most of her teeth extracted, because her previous owner neglected her teeth. It hasn't affected her eating. I give her Moist & Meaty by Purina.
Hope this wee bit of info is helpful. These dogs are wonderful and give unconditional love.

1. Where did you get your pups (breeder name, etc.)? (can't afford the expense of shipping, so I'll be picking up myself)

2. hillsmere, which vet do you use? (I'm in Baltimore City, but close to the county line)

3. Groomer rec's

4. Average yearly cost

Can't think of anything else right now, but believe me I'll be back!![/QUOTE]
