Welcome! Please listen to these ladies! They are only trying to help & they really do know what they are talking about. I know you want a yorkie badly...why not, they are so easy to love! But you really should slow down & do a lot of research BEFORE you go out and purchase a puppy. Make sure you are going to be able to financially support this pup (vet bills, food, toys, grooming). As someone mentioned, yorkies are not cheap to own.

Once you decide that you can afford the pup, research breeders. It is said that you buy the breeder first, then the pup. If you find a reputable breeder that does the right things for healthy, happy pups you may spend more up front, but it will save you in the long run. Not just monetarily... One thing to keep in mind is that reputable breeders will keep their pups til they are at least 12 weeks old. So, the breeder will be the ones paying for the first shots...money saved for you. So you might want to keep that in mind when "price shopping"...although, I would recommend not going with a certain breeder just b/c the price is lower...JMHO.

Good luck with your search.
