Hi welcome to YT.... I also live in brooklyn and I purchased my furbaby from Puppy Boutique.... wasn;t sure where to go myself cause this was my first puppy... but I hear alot of things about that place now.... they get puppies from puppy mills and have backyard breeders.... so now Im kinda skeptical where I will get my second one from... I've had my lil guy for what will be 4 years already... he will be 4 in february 2010... so far I have had no problems with him....he is very healthy.. I thank God every day for that... cause sometimes it is a bit costly at the vets office... but I love him so much I don't care how much I will spend to keep him alive and well... Thank god I got a healthy boy... I would not go there again after reading about there reviews... I never knew all this info until I joined this site.... try typing this topic in the "general Yorkshire Discussion in the forums section.... someone will help you there... hope this was somewhat helpful.....
