Can I ask about the dollar amt you are willing to spend for a yorkie pup. I think you may have trouble finding a quality yorkie for that little unless you are willing to look at a possible rescue. Yorkies are expensive little creatures and then there is the expense of having them - vet bills, grooming (unless you do that yourself), toys, etc.
Make sure you do your research about the breeder and the pups parents if you are going to go thru a breeder. Educate yourself about yorkies before you buy. There are so many people out there breeding outside of standards. So many puppy mills offering yorkies and so many backyard breeders who only care about the dollar.
You can learn a lot about the breed here on YT and what type of things to ask a breeder. You want to make sure you get a health pup if you are going to deal with a breeder and not a pup with a genetic disease that the breeder is unwilling to recognize. There are some excellent breeders here on YT - and you can ask them lots of questions
If you would consider a rescue be sure to check out
Petfinder.com: Adopt a pet and help an animal shelter rescue a puppy or kitten. - just insert your zip and yorkie and there will be tons of yorkies (You can still find a healthy pup thru a rescue, but you probably won't have any guarantee of that)
also I have seen them at
Welcome to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa - check everyday, as they continually update
also sometimes
Hearts United for Animals - national no-kill animal shelter, sanctuary and animal welfare organization. in Nebraska has yorkies - but I don't see any right now
