Here's a post I put on Newbies' pages when they say they want a puppy. Thought it might help you make a wise choice.
Before you purchase a little Yorkie, please read these links:
Buying a dog? Beware of breeder Teacup Yorkies - Health Issues
Why You Shouldn't Buy a Puppy Online! Prisoners of Greed - Puppy Mill List Buying a Yorkie? READ THIS FIRST!
Yorkshire Terrier Club of America – Breeder Referrals 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~
