Thank you all for the warm welcome, information and good wishes! Hmm, I would generally understand not wanting to sell to a family with small kids (we are definitely not looking for a "micro" or "teacup" variety, especially since they do not exist), but every child/family is different. My 6.5 year old has checked out several books on Yorkies from her school library (in an effort to convince me that Yorkies are better than my childhood dogs: Lab, Dachsund and Doberman), admittedly knows as much about the breed as I do and would help us take care of the puppy immensely. Lots of space in our home too, so Yorkie would not be cramped or anything. I DO find it highly commendable that a breeder would forego profit for the sake of the puppy's quality of life...just wanted to expand on our info in case any of you are "on the fence"
Looking into a rescue recommended by a member here, could not make it in time to today's adoption but will try again next time.Thanks again.
