When I bought my first Yorkie puppy 14 years ago I paid $500. There were 4 puppies in that litter 3 males and 1 female. The female was sold and I had the pick of the 3 males. I chose the smaller of the 3. About 2 weeks later I went to pick up my puppy and she was holding him when she answered the door. She brought him to the living room and I never saw the other puppies even though I could hear them in the other room. You know I had a gut feeling that this was not the puppy I picked out. He looked different and the way she kept him away from the other puppies. I told myself that it probably was my imagination and it had been 2 weeks since I saw him. I brought him home loved him dearly until he passed on last year. This summer I bought another Yorkie. There were 3 little girls. Small, medium and large. This time I picked the medium size one. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. Again I had to wait 2 weeks before I could bring my baby home. With this breeder all three of the puppies were together in their pen when I went to pick her up. Mine was wearing the orange collar that I had picked out and I just knew that she was the puppy I saw 2 weeks earlier. The breeder said that if I changed my mind I could pick one of the others because she was keeping one and she didn't care which one it was and somebody was coming that afternoon to take the remaining puppy. I told her that I hadn't changed my mind. I fell in love with her then and I still loved her and she was the one I was bringing home.
