It is so good that you took notice of the red flags and politely walked away. You did the right thing.
Also, I doubt ever that your little Esme would ever feel a lack of love if you adopted another Yorkie. In time they would be the best of friends I bet.
Once your life slows down a bit and it's the right time I am hopefull you will find a great breeder. There have got to be hundreds of quality breeders out there to outway the awful ones.
And a huge congrats on you being a newlywed.
