I know just how much patience you must have when searching for a yorkie. I searched for Bailey for almost a year

It was very difficult to say "No thanks" to people I didn't feel comfortable with, while looking. I wanted one now! The wait is worth it, I promise.
If you're worried about receiving an unhealthy pup, I'd search just locally for a pup. We took a chance having our ddb shipped to us, but everything was fine. He was the dog we paid for & couldn't be happier with him. However, I've heard horror stories about people having animals shipped and don't know if we'd take that chance again... Good luck & keep us updated
