IMO, it would be very advantages to take some time, find an ethical breeder, and get a healthy puppy. I have one that I have spent close to $10,000 to keep her alive and happy. There are so many breeders......byb's and puppy millers who sell puppies that will eventually have life threatening illnesses. Pet stores are also poor places to purchase a Yorkie. Most of those puppies come from mills and are sick when you bring them home. So, please take some time. It is well worth it. Here is a post that I normally post on Newbies' pages when I know they are looking for a puppy:

Before you purchase a little Yorkie, please read these links:

Buying a dog? Beware of breeder

Why You Shouldn't Buy a Puppy Online!

How much is a Yorkie puppy?

Cutting Corners

So be very careful. Do lots of research. Stay far away from pet stores and on-line breeders at all costs. Puppy mill operators have learned to talk the talk of good breeders. Their web sites are usually wonderful, alluring, and have positive feedback from supposed customers. Make sure that you ALWAYS are able to go to the breeder's home and see the environment that your furbaby has been raised in. It's worth the extra effort, time, and money. Remember that anyone may join YorkieTalk.......back-yard-breeders and puppy mill owners. Best wishes in your search. ~Joanne~
