Good luck.
This is an excellent suggestion because if you go without knowing whether or not health tests have been done, you will be tempted to buy the puppy. All yorkie babies are irresistible!! I have read many posts where the buyer wanted to "save" the puppy from the breeder; unfortunately this just creates more bad breeding.
