Hi Sabrina,
THere are many breeders of Merit that would have suitable pups. ALl I can speak from my my personal experience. I live in Northern California and bought my second pup from Deb Sillers at Amazing Yorkies. She has an excellent reputation as a breeder of Merit from the AKC. My little girl is gorgeous! Deb gives preference to homes that plan on showing dogs but if you are looking for a pet- she has beautiful babies that are actually very reasonably priced. SHe now lives in Oregon but will ship pups that are old enough and healthy enough to do so. But My suggestion is for you to fly and pick up your baby. She was still in Missouri when I got my little girl and the flight was under 400. Look her up and see what the closest airport to her is. Perhaps she will meet you at the airport? It's worth a try. No one would deny the quality of her dogs.
Her website is
Amazing Yorkies - AKC Yorkie Show Breeder - Show Prospects or Quality Pets but Deb has been having some health issues and hasn;t updated in in quite awhile. Calling the number listed is a much better way.
Good luck and congratulations. Your life is getting ready to change for the better.
Paula
