I got my first baby (now 4) from a show/reputable local breeder, when I lived in Washington. He came with some bad habits though.....they said he was paper trained....yeah right! First thing he did was pee on my wall when we got home!
~Though I only have 2 babies now.....I have had three Yorkies

We purchased a 'teacup' yorkie from a 'luxury puppy boutique' in Las Vegas. The poor little guy was actually from Oklahoma! He died within 2 weeks. The necropsy showed Renal failure. I spent $7,000 on vet bills in the week and a half we had him. Bringing back these memories......I am going straight to the breeder section and writing a warning!!!
The little angel that came into my life to heal my heart is from a breeder in Louisiana. He came to me spoiled and chubby....the happiest little guy I had ever seen! He turns 1 this month on the 17th!!!
