Yes crazy. It has to do with this breed being so popular. I recommend finding a good show breeder - gawd knows there are so many shows in the States you can go to to investigate first, then meet the breeders - and wait.
I waited over three years for my show promise Gal, not a Yorkie but the breed I do breed. I had known, met. seen her at at least 4 Nationals, meet my pups great grandmother, grandmother, and mother, and examined them all.... But I am a breeder....
The sire I investigated through a large network of breeder friends, and all the usual databases.
Maybe too much delay for a would be pet owner, but think about this dog as a 15 or so year commitment.....
