Thank you for this vote of confidence, from all breeders that are TRULY committed to keeping this precious breed healthy and bred with the care and concern it deserves. Sometimes it seems like people put the price of the yorkie last on their list of demands for quality....they will spend $800.00+ on those hi tech phones, outlandish computers, Ipods, Ipads, telephones, cars, clothes, washing machines, lawn mowers, etc....but when it comes to buying a LIVING, BREATHING little puppy, they want to get the cheapest deal they can find.....then end up spending tons of money on vet bills, if they are fortunate to have the baby even survive the first couple of months. People need to start using their heads and their knowledge and not be thrown into situations of sympathy, where they are playing "savior" to some sick, ill bred baby from a PET STORE......I do not even go into pet stores that sell animals.....I dont care WHAT cock and bull story they sell,about the stock is from only the very best relatives, etc....BS!!! They buy puppy mill pups for 1/3 what they end up charging for the animal.....dont be suckered into believing that lie.....NO REPUTABLE, CONCERNED PERSON SELLS A YORKIE PUPPY PRIOR TO AT THE VERY LEAST, AGE 12 WEEKS....EVEN BETTER 14-16+ WEEKS.....you buy from a pet store, for WHATEVER reason, you puts down your chip, you make your bet, and you get what you gambled on.
