You have come to the right place to learn about yorkies. Plus there are all kinds of fun, knowledgeable people here! Hope you stick around
Thank you for being kind and informative!! I think it's really bad when people jump down new YT'rs throats for using a term that doesn't exist, or saying they bought from a pet store ect.. People come here to get information from knowledgeable Yorkie owners. I'm glad Kelly has come here BEFORE buying a yorkie, not after she has been ripped off by someone selling "teacups" at astronomical prices!!
I too, didn't know about these things when I joined YT and I have learned so much and consider myself to be some what knowledgeable after being here a while (I'm sure I have lots more to learn!!)...

To OP:
Welcome Kelly!!! I hope you are able to gain some good info before you bring home a beautiful yorkie!! Good luck and look forward to some pix!!!
