Hello,

This post will be similar to another recent want ad.

This will be our first time getting a yorkie. This might be a long shot, but our budget is only up to about $500, but there is a slight chance I might be able to talk my wife into increasing it a bit. We have a new home and a newly landscaped yard...the only thing it's missing is a dog to run around to enjoy it! I may get flamed for this, but AKC registration really doesn't matter to me. We don't plan on breeding or showing the dog, but just want one of the breed to love and enjoy. However, a healthy and appropriate weight of the breed is sought, shots up to date and health check/guarantee. We live Peoria, IL and would be picking the dog up and willing to drive a reasonable distance. I myself would prefer a male, but would be willing to consider a female.

A little background on where the puppy would live and our experience with the breed: My wife and I have a new house and a big open yard with plans to put in a fence next spring. She has allergies and the breed is a perfect fit for her. She also doesn't want large dogs inside (which I've always had) and I refuse to keep a dog outdoors. Again, yorkies are a great fit. Also, my parents have had a yorkie for two years now and I really do love the little guy. So the new puppy would have a playmate from the start (I hope to get a second in another year or two). Please let me know if there is any other pertinent information I should post.

Thanks to Love4Yorkie for inspiration in what to include in here.

Thanks!
