I do applaud them for not selling the boys at 8 weeks. Not all of us that would like a yorkie puppy can afford show quality so if you like the puppies and feel comfortable with the environment they have come from you could do what I did, buy the puppy but give the breeder a post dated check and take it to your vet and have it not only checked physcially but also have a complete blood work panel done, this will help but not guarantee you against future medical issues. Good luck, I know that buying a yorkie can be a very challenging when looking for a good but affordable breeder.
True with the low price your probably not going to get as a health guarantee.

OP the decision is up to you I can see how that low price is appealing. The problem is if the pup ends up with illness or disease where there are alot of vet bills and you have no health guarantee then it ends up being not a good deal. It is a risk only you know if your willing to take
