If you're looking for a totally healthy pup, I'm sure one will come along in time.

Is your heart set on a young puppy or would you consider a rescue? An older breeder female?

I've found that the few great Yorkie breeders tend to have waiting lists. Have you gotten your name on any? Filled out apps?

I would like to get a puppy. Around 12-16 weeks. I know I can take a chance and still get her. I just dont wanna have her and 2 years down the road; she'll need surgery. I have a good job, but I dont think I'd be able to pay thousands in vet bills. Thats another reason I dont wanna get a rescue.
