You do not need to see the puppy in person. They will most likely all look the same depending on the size of their parents. If parents are small, the pup will have a certain look. If parents are larger (7lbs) you will see the difference.
Yorkies are crazy and fun, so if you see 10 of them, they will probably "perform" for you the same way.
Get one from a breeder on here, or someone who can direct you to one they got theirs from. I got mine shipped to Cayman and then I picked one from Miami. It was the same breeder and same-sized parents. They looked identical, the only difference was the lack of male "extension".
So, do not feel discouraged if you do not find one around. Have one shipped, but do ask for papers, guarantees, shots, pics of parents, its own pix (maybe throughout development), weight at different points and do not get one before they are 11-12 weeks.
Good luck.
