Welcome to YT AmyBeth!
First things first, congratulations on your choosing a yorkie! It is such a special decision to decide to share our homes with this great breed!

Now, as for breeders, make sure when looking for your baby go to a REPUTABLE breeder that health test their yorkies and participates in events such as Agility and/or Conformation, etc. This shows (to me anyways) that the breeder has the best interest of the breed at heart and is not looking to line there pockets with money.

As for registries, I'd check to make sure that the breeder has at least titled (CH. titled) some of their dogs in AKC, UKC, or CKC (Canadian Kennel Club not Contentintal, anyone registering with Contentintal you can be sure is either a Puppy Mill or a scammer).

If you haven't chosen a breeder yet and don't mind shipping I'll be happy to recommend some breeders I believe are very, very reputable. There are also many informed people here who can help you make the decision on which breeder would be best because chances are someone here has heard of most of the yorkie breeders out there. Be sure to check out Breeder, Vet, & Groomer Reviews - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community to make sure no one has posted a review of any breeder you choose to go with.

I wish you the best of luck with you new baby!

p.s. with names maybe go with themes? What is your Mastiffs name? Maybe go with the same letter or a name close to that one?
