I grew up with Labs, and I loved them. Recently we lost my lab of 12 years, she is loved and missed every day. I swore after she passed that I could not get another big dog. I was a football practice watching my son, and I saw a cute little dog. I asked about it and was told it was a "teacup yorkie" and I fell in love. Now, I see this little dog after reading about yorkies... and I am worried for him. I have decided that I want a female, as a pet only, with a baby doll face. If you have a litter, maybe that don't have papers... please let me know. I am willing to drive to pick up a puppy!

Anyway, I am a mother of 2 boys. Gregory is 12, and Garrett is 5. Both Love animals!! Garrett wants to be a zoo keeper when he grows up! And begs to go to the mall, just to love on a puppy because he already knows how terrible it is to have that kind of life. He says that he needs to find the saddest looking on and give it some love!

I am a student, going to school to be a nurse. My husband and I both work at a local hospital. I am lucky enough to work part-time now.

Well, that about all I can think to tell you about myself.

I look forward to getting to know you!

I done what you are doing now. I read about yorkies and talk to owners and breeders. I done this for a very long time. I looked for years for my first yorkie and finally got her Feb.08. I looked at all yorkies and saw the words teacup and thought neat! However I found out here that some breeders use the word teacup to sale for much higher price. Do not go to a backyard breeder. Yes they maybe cheaper but you are taking a chance. You might not get what you think. Backyard breeders and puppymills you really need to stay away from them. Take your time..... also look at rescue places. Good luck and welcome!
