Great post!
Shop for a reputable breeder, not by price. "Bargain" puppies are often no bargain in the long run as they can come with genetic time bombs for hereditary conditions Yorkies are prone to. They can break your wallet and your heart.
As Steve said, unscrupulous breeders troll our forum looking for posts like yours so they can try to sell a puppy behind the scenes. Be very wary of the messages you may get.
If you go to the top of this section, there are some wonderful threads about how to find a Yorkie puppy pinned:
