I agree with you and I can't see paying that much to a rescue when you can put some money to it and get one from a good breeder.

You should do what I did and that is buy an older Yorkie. They don't cost a lot like the puppies do because everyone wants a puppy. The one I am picking up is 2 yrs old and she comes with a sweet personality already built in so I know what I am getting and she is housetrained on pee pads. One less thing I have to concentrate on. All I need to do is concentrate on loving her and taking real good care of her.

Many breeders are looking for great homes for their retired dogs and that is great because they are already trained and probably spayed or neutrered already.

Hope this helps.
