I wish someone had told us where to get a Yorkie.
My husband was so excited that I said yes to a dog, and picked out a Yorkie (male was all i wanted!) that he went right away searching the internet for dogs for sale and we had one within 2 weeks. We were willing to wait for a breeder's litter if needed, but my husband was so excited! he had bought the crate, and puppy pads and all this shampoo, flea stuff, combs, brushes etc.. he was so excited I don't think he would have cared who it came from.
We emailed a few people, and some of them had websites, others didn't. We ended up taking a pup from a family that seemed really sweet, and were ready to deliver. Keep in mind my husband surprised me with most of this, but that's because I let him "find our Yorkie".
I tried to email the breeder recently to give them an update and pictures, but their email wasn't working
My husband long erased their phone number, so we now have no contact with Derby's parents.
It's kind of sketchy thinking about it now...
We have a bigger Yorkie (my husband's choice, I wanted a smaller one) and we have papers for him but his breeders were not CKC registered and we assumed it because they had big Yorkies. He's a healthy guy, and had all his shots done etc but his tail is cropped too short... Not sure if they are first breeders, or what because I never met them- my husband did. I guess it was hard letting Derby go because their little girl cried when my husband took him. He was the favorite, even though he was the biggest one of the bunch.
I know now that next time we get a puppy, I am alot more educated about Yorkies and know now what i should be looking for.
Yorkietalk RULES!!!
