I don't recognize the kennel. Pups are at least 12 weeks old which is good not too young to go to a new home.
If you are looking for a pet, likley would be okay but check on any guarantees on the pup.
Yes the pedigree is reasonably impressive but that doesn't mean these puppies are show quality. Show quality cannot be determined in Yorkies until at least 6 months, older is better. There are many important things to consider in determining a show quality that in Yorkies, can change as they get older. Some things that you won't know for sure until closer to a year are colour ie will it stay a steel blue/tan or go light? and size ie too big or too small. Often coat type can't be determined until 4- 6 months of age to be certain.
In my own dogs, I can do a wonderful breeding, many many champions in the pedigree. There can be say 3 pups. One may be show quality, one could be going too light, the other too big, or bad earset, or not a good topline if you get the idea of what I am talking about. All three pups are the same litter, same pedigree. The one that looks like it could be show qualilty I would hold back until it is much older, at least 6 months. As the other two mature to over 3 months, I watch them and when I see something that says, no this is not a show quality, not something I want in my breeding program or anyone else's, those are sold for pet, either already neuter/spayed or under nonbreeding neuter/spay contracts.
