[LunarBerry]

ladyjane: I totally understand. It's not that I think all sheltered/rescue dogs have health issues, sorry if that seem to come across that way. It's just that the search for my area/state (at least when searching online at the time) are mostly elderly (or past the age I was looking for) and/or have (or have had) some kind of health problem that will require a little more care/finance than I can deal with upfront. Granted, I was really tempted by a dorkie puppy I've seen ^_^ but was really wanting a traditional yorkie.
I also agree the breeder makes a huge difference, as I know from first hand, a yorkie I've had when growing up before (my brother had gotten her and our male) came from what I would call a backyard breeder. She had really bad health issues from the beginning and took a long time for her to recover from it and, though she lived a fairly decent long life at 12yrs, passed away quickly from some kind of health problem. Our male at the time came from a show quality line and had very little health issues all his life and passed away from old age (he was blind in the last few years, but lived long at almost 15yrs).
And thanks on the well wishes for my Kimchi ^^ (she's the first dog I actually bought, myself) Vet said she's looking very healthy. Right now she's trying to be dominate ^^;;
