Hi Barb! I can't stress enough how important the phrase "buy your breeder first" really is. There's a lot of information here on YT that will certainly help you find that breeder that's perfect for you.

Here's YTs guide from the library (it's found in the Forums list under Yoda the Yorkie's head):

Here's a list to current AKC suspensions that may help you sift out those undesirables (sometimes people will register with other non reputable registries when they've been suspended or removed from AKC):

Welcome to Yorkietalk & I wish you much success in finding that little one who's waiting
just for you!
