Since you dealt with a broker, there is no way to find out about the health of her sire and dam. I am sure you will the breeder's name on the USDA "puppymill" list. Look under Oklahoma:

Puppymills churn out puppies for profit with no concern about health testing or genetic screening. Have you vet check her knee for luxating patellas and definitely get a bile acids test as soon as she is old enough (20 weeks) to make sure she doesn't have a liver shunt. Other than that, there is nothing you can do but be aware that the "genetic time bombs" poorly bred Yorkies carry may not go off for years and be prepared financially for big vet bills later on. Hopefully, that won't happen.
