Because when I got my first Yorkie, I was looking for a small dog. First breeder I checked out was a Yorkie Breeder (she lived close to me and was known all over town as "the dog lady"), she had advertised Yorkie puppies for sale. My husband and I went to see her (after calling first) and I fell in love with the little darlings, especially one who left her littermates to check me out. We visited regularly after that day until Penni was old enough to come home with us. The breeder and I became good friends until we returned to the USA.
