Welcome to YT, What a wonderful surprise this would be for your dear with. And what a caring hubby you are to want to give a sweet baby yorkie as a gift.
I am formally from the Bronx, It is very hard to find a GOOD Ethical breeder with in the 5 Boros. I advise to stay away from
"The Puppy Boutique" 8002 17th Ave, Bklyn, NY (Bensonhurst)
This is NOT a breeder, it is a BROKER, meaning they buy litter of puppies from puppy mills. They charge top dollar ($2000) for puppy mills pups. Ppl living in the 5 boro's are looking for convince when buying a puppy. You may have to spread out when looking for a healthy well bread yorkie breed by breeders that check back many generations to ensure no generic diseases that will be passed down to future puppies. Do your home work in researching a breeder. NEVER buy from a "back yard breeder" they do NO generic back ground research, they have a girl, neighbor has a boy, BRAINSTORM, hey lets mate them, sell them, make lots of money. And what you get is a puppy with generic problems that can cause you $1000's in medical bills. If you do find a breeder I suggest coming back to YT and give the name of the breeder, there are many members that at familiar with some breeders and can find some Red Flags that may want you to stay away from a breeder. Think about how far you are willing to travel for a puppy. Another suggestion, Pa, is the 2nd highest state for puppy mills, Lancaster is notorious for puppy mills. YT is here to help all ppl with all issues, and to help if they can to find a good ethical breeder. Good luck.
