Well, I don't want to be mean, but not all dogs are the same, even if they're the same breed. Different breeders have different health guarantees. Usually the ones with the good, year long health guarantees are the most healthy. With the cheaper ones, you get what you pay for. Some have little or no health guarantee with poor characteristics such as roach back or lp bred into them. It would be very hard to find a puppy that is not sick in a rescue. I would highly recommend saving your money and taking her with you to meet some breeders. If you buy a yorkie from a backyard breeder or petshop who might eventually have health problems, then you would end up paying a lot in vet bills, possibly more than a yorkie with champion bloodlines.
I honestly recommend saving your money and trying to find a good local breeder. Develop a good relationship with the breeder and find out when some puppies will arrive. Some even have payment plans. Good luck.
