Do you feel a connection, something special, with the dog? Does it just feel right? I'm sorry, I know some of this is rather esoteric and subjective. However, I'm quite confident that well-informed, very experienced members here will be able to provide you excellent and clear traits, information, et al, which will help you immensely when it comes to getting you the best Yorkie possible!

Thanks for answering! Hmm, aren't a lot of dogs shy and aren't as responsive to new people, though? I'm just scared I'll pick up a dog from a puppy mill and it'll get sick like some stories I've read
