There are always some breeders on line at Yorkie Talk who have puppies for sale periodically. After the terrible ordeal you have been through, I am sure the staff would reccomend someone close to your area who would have show and "pet quality" Yorkies. If you want just a good, healthy pet Yorkie and not a "show dog", the breeder should have some pups for "home pets". What you are looking for is good temperament and intelligence, too! Some dogs of any breed can look wonderful, but are do not focus on their owners.
My friend used to breed Yorkies, but the city ordinances changed, and she was only allowed 4 dogs at any one time! I wanted a dog that could go through basic obedience class, and she had 2 pups from the same smart father, but her smaller 5-pound momma dog, nicknamed "Never". Anyway, one of the sire's other pups with Jane's large 8 pound female as its mother had won its first obedience title, "Champion Dog" and was working on his CDX title next. His photos were in a Yorkie magazine that Janie proudly showed me...he was flying over a hurdle w/ a wooden dumbell in his mouth. He was also @ 8 pounds as the buyer requested.
Anyway, my pup, Taffy was the bigger of these 2 pups. His brother was much smaller and there was already a $50.00 deposit put on him. He was too hyper for me and very yippy. Taffy was Jane's husband's favorite, he played and would follow him around their house. After seceral visits, Taff was attaching himself to me and would sleep in my lap after play while his brother would growl and bark at every noise. Jane showed me Taff's teeth..she said loved his "head & ears", but he had a tiny underbite. "He's a lovely boy, but those teeth make him only pet quality. You may have to get lower front teeth removed, if the lower ones block the upper ones from closing when his baby teeth come out!" She had been giving him his puppy shots at her home and finished them up for me. The local vet, Dr. Brown, had done the early puppy checks & worked on all her pups for several years. I had to "promise in writing" to neuter him, since she said his pups could have the same underbite problem...so I signed paperwork to promise get him "fixed" when he was @ 9-10 months old. Since we'd been friends for 7 years, she gave me quite a big "frienship discount", because she knew my husband was " a big cat lover" and he fuss & would "try to make me return Taff if his price was $800 or more". So, Taff was basically almost a "gift"! He has been a great little dog and reminds Jane now of his great-great-great grandma who was a State Champion--she has pictures of her, one is on a satin pillow with her prize ribbon pinned to the pillow. Taffy had turned her lovely silver-grey body with a golden blonde head and legs -- had fine silky hair, like his mother & his champion great,etc..grandma. Now, Taffy's little brother stayed darker, and was "quite a handful"...His owners said he would chase the husband's big dog! Anyway, pups' temperaments are different just like people! So, I would visit with the puppies if possible before you select one. A good breeder should not let them go to new homes until they are 12-14 weeks old either, as they can get blood sugar drops from the shock of leaving their old surroundings if they are too young! Taffy was 13 weeks old & he never had problems, but Jane gave me some Nutragel vitamin paste just in case. He was very attached to me from day one. My husband at first "ignored the pup completely", since I never "asked him" if we should get the puppy. (You can guess why I didn't bother t ask.) Well, guess who is Taffy's best play-pal now! Ha! Taff loves him, too! Mike taught him to "howl" for baseball home runs and football touchdowns when they watch sports--so funny!!
Best wishes in your search for a happy, healthy puppy! LOL, Sue & Taffy
