Hello all, I just joined the forum the other day, as I needed some help searching for a Yorkshire Terrier, after losing my precious heart dog, the Yorkie Duchess, back on July 6th.

But here's the good news. I found someone who shows Yorkshire Terriers (actually she's just getting started in the last year or so), but they are good quality showable Yorkshire Terriers, and due to health, and her husband's request, they decided they needed to "re-home" a couple of their Yorkies.

A breeder who I had asked about getting female Yorkies from didn't have any, but was good friends with this woman who had these very fine quality Yorkies, but needed to re-home two of them. So, the owner contacted me, and sent a picture.

To make a long story short, I think he's a gorgeous little guy, and he's named Payton (after Peyton Manning), being from Indiana (of course).
He's 3 years old and she has shown him, but said that is coat just doesn't grow fast enough, or dense enough to really be shown much (I don't know much about that, I only know that if he is even close to show quality, he is by far the finest quality dog I've ever had).

So, we emailed back and forth, and I found that a lot of his traits were traits I was looking for in my next Yorkie. And, she gave me a real good price, so it was really a no-brainer! I spoke with her on the phone, and she was a real sweetheart, and we just really hit it off!

So, I'm from Illinois and she and the Yorkie are in Northern Indiana, so this weekend she is going to meet me near the IL-IN border, about half way between our home locations, and deliver to me her beautiful little Yorkie boy, Payton. Please wish me luck, and I want to say that I feel really blessed to have found such a wonderful little sort of "rescue" dog! I think he's beautiful - but then again I'm prejudiced! I only have this one pic, that is a good one. But, if you like, I'll post more after I get him.

Thanks for looking!
