I wish I could give you guys some super amazing "royal" adoption from a well known breeder, however, that's not the case.
I got my sweet little CaLi just by being patient and being consistent in my hunt. I knew I wanted a yorkie. I knew I couldn't afford to pay top dollar for a puppy. My fiancee wanted to be in on which breed of dog we'd get. He gave me the okay once I showed him a picture of a little yorkie.
I figured we could try shelters and rescues first...with no luck. Everytime we'd get locked in on one we liked, something would happen where it wasn't meant to be. Months went by of me searching and showing him pics and phonecalls and appointments...nothing worked out. UNTIL...
I tried Craigslist. YES, I tried Craigslist. Now..most at you will goff at the fact I would use that avenue. I was skeptical. Tons of poor dogs being sold and traded and given away to no good homes.
BUT...I found a simple ad that peaked my curiosity. It was very simple and to the point. "Help. Yorkie Puppies need homes, please call if interested"
I called the number and got to know the owner. His Yorkie and his Morkie had made an accident llitter of 6. There was no way he could have 9 dogs total in his tiny apartment.(he also owned Cali's fixed Uncle)
I agreed to make the 1 1/2 hr drive to meet him and meet the pups. He had managed to find homes for 5 of them, but it would be 2 weeks before any owners would come and get their pups for Christmas...sooooo he allowed me to pick which one I wanted. I picked the smallest and the quietest. The sweetest and the cutest. I didn't know alot about yorkies at that point, but I now am loving every second of the learning and growing process...CaLi is just the sweetest blessing and well worth the patience it took in order to let God find the perfect girl for me. She loves to go wherever I go, she knows who you're talking about when you say "Mommy" she goes nuts...and she loves to play dress up and go to the beach....
Finding this forum has been truly the one thing that has helped me be a successful mommy....thanks you guys
