Meghan, I pray to God your baby ends up being happy and healthy. I hope he/she is everything you wanted her to be. I also hope you have a nice big savings account for your new baby. Even a happy, healthy, and well socialized yorkie costs money, one from a place as what you described will cost even more. No, this is not opinon, there are statistics and plenty of posts in the sick and injured forum to back up my statement.
I also want you to know that although you are going about getting a puppy in the worst possible way, when you run into trouble, YT will be here to help you out.
One last thing, I'm a shelter volunteer with the spcaLA. None of "my" shelter dogs are ever smelly and gross. Nor do they live in teeny tiny kennels; when they stay with us while they wait for adoptions. I'm a groomer for them and I groom ALL the shelter dogs. No matter the size, breed, or coat type, they get washed, cut, and brushed so they can always look their best.
