craigslist is usually a little more strict with monitoring pet postings, but yes, still be careful in any situation where you are buying a pup! i know kijiji (not too sure if this is only a canadian site or not...) is REALLY VERY bad for BYB's and puppymills.
I still look through both because you never know when there could be a person genuinly looking for a re-homing. I actually found Dexter on Kijiji as a re-homing. I was wary at first, but after meeting the very young couple that owned Dex, i knew they were just genuinly trying to find a puppy that they loved a new good home. they have actuall kept in touch with me to watch dexter grow up every step of the way too!
but back to the topic, i also agree that shelters and rescues would likely be the best way to go for a mixed breed pup. Google "yorkie rescue NY" or something along those lines, and I am sure many options for you to explore will pop up! Many rescues do have mixed breeds and baby and young pups also (not only adults) and think about the not only the happiness that you will get from having a new best friend in your life, but the happiness that new friend will feel for you giving a needing pup a second chance. it is a win win situation
