I'm in Fl and looked for one year before finding Chloe and then found Lacey in an unusual way, I'll skip all the details. I paid $800 for Chloe, who had 4 and 5lb parents but she is light with a good 7 plus pounds on her. She's a beautiful yorkie, very pretty face but has a "roach" back, longer legs and a combination of silky and cottony fur. I was a little disappointed at first that she wasn't the typical, short legged, black/gold, small yorkie. When I got Lacey, although she was $2500, her dad was a champion and the breeder told me exactly what she thought, not a guarantee, about looks and weight, Lacey is exactly what the breeder said and what I had in mind. She isn't show material, her hair is a little thin I think for that but she is small, has a very straight back, nice carriage, short legs, beautiful tail and sassy walk, I feel the extra money was worth it. Here's the but, both yorkies are wonderful and if you aren't wanting to show then it really isn't important, what is is their disposition and health. Hope you find one your love as much as I love mine. They are great pets.
