As you may know, I am despartly looking for a yorkie puppy. We spoke to a lady that owns a grooming shop where we used to take our yorkie Lacey. She said she is mating her female and male yorkies now. They been going at it for 2 weeks now. The male is only 9 months old. They tried when he was 7 months, but no pregnancy occured. Do you think 9 months is old enough? We put our name on the list and she said if puppies are produced she will sell them for $650. Which is pretty cheap considering what others are charging. This is our only hope of getting a puppy so far because we tried everthing and no luck. Not a one yorkie even listed in our paper for a month now. Even though we would probably still have to wait until April for our puppy. Because we don't even know if pregnancy will happen. And if it does, we have to wait 9 weeks until they are born and then they will have to stay with the mother for another 12 weeks! Then, the litter might not even produce a female which is what we want. The wait is killing me! I can't wait until I can finally hold Chloe Cheyenne in my arms! It will be one of the happiest days of my life!
