Patti,
Where's a picture of Nikki?

I searched to adopt a yorkie...I searched the local dog shelters, then the veterinary offices...I found more puppy mills or large yorkies...lots of large yorkies over the standard size in Mexico. Then I found what is like national dog breeding society online and started searching for a reputable breeder that way...went to a farm even...That's when I finally called because and realized what I wanted and was willing to wait or pay for a healthy Yorkie. Too many puppy mills here and they hide it by advertising the parents are on site and then you show up and oh, they're on the other side of the city...one said the mother was in Cancun even...I wasn't interested in that. Turn out to have wire short hair and a large terrier. So, yes, I paid for what I got and am happy...hope I do the breed justice here.
