Hello everyone, I am new to Yorkie Talk and I have just been reading lots of the posts and just learning a lot about Yorkies and how to buy them and what to look out for. I am very interested in buying a yorkie, but I am on a very tight budget. I found a breeder that was selling a male and had the puppy in my price range, and she sent me pictures of him and everything. I am very excited about this, but after I calmed down, I started wondering if this is a puppy mill or if there is something wrong with this puppy. I called the breeder and she sounded very nice as well as informed, and she told me that she has been breeding for 25 or so years. Her site is very nice and she even pointed out the parents of the puppy on her site while on the phone with me. She told me that the puppy has his shots, been vet checked, and everything. The only things that she told me about the puppy that made him a little cheaper is the fact that he is 14 weeks old now, and she said that she doesn't like keeping puppies after they are 12 weeks old, and she told me that he will be about 7-8 pounds, which is a little big for a yorkie. She told me that I could get him from her for $500. She actually had 2 available and that was one of them, the other one, she said only had one testicle, because the other didn't drop yet. I already knew to stay away from that puppy. Well the name of this place is Vera Cruz Yokies and it is located in Reinholds, PA. Everything sounded too good to be true, so I wanted to ask you guys if it truly is too good to be true, or if she is trying to sell me a sick dog or something strange. She told me that she normally sells dogs for like $1000 or more for the ones that are around 10 to 12 weeks old and will be full grown at around 3-6 lbs. or so. The puppies aren't spayed/neutered but I didn't think it would matter. Sorry for the long post but I am very excited and very nervous at the same time so I wanted to see what you all knew if anything about her. O yea and her name is Erma Weaver if that helps to find out if she is ok. Thank you very much.

PS. If she is bad, and you know someone selling yorkie male puppies in the tristate area (preferably near Cherry Hill, NJ) for no more then $800 I would be very interested in talking to them because I want to get the puppy for my finance for her birthday which is on April 22

. Thank you.
