Hi there everyone,
My wife and I live in GA and are looking for a Yorkie to join our family. We recently lost our little bean (her name was actually Candy) and for such a little dog, she left huge paw prints on our heart. She was our fur-baby and left us with a lifetime of wonderful memories.

Candy was our first Yorkie and we got to spend 9 years with her. We adopted her at about 5 from a family member who was unable to care for her the way she deserved to be. She was skinny, her hair was matted and I wasn't happy at first. As you can probably guess, she grew on me. After about a week, we got her cleaned up and I fell in love with that Yorkie face. Once she warmed up to us, and her personality came out, she loved to play with her squeaky toys and was also perfectly content snuggled up next to us. She loved to sandwich herself between my wife and I on a couch or laying in bed.

We have thought long and hard about getting another and want to start our search. I have seen lots of posts on this forum answering my question, however, they seem to be somewhat old and a lot of the links provided seem to go nowhere. Let me say that we are not looking for show dog. We want another Yorkie because of their spritely personality and larger-than-life hearts. My wife spoke to Ava Tyree, and that is a possible option. She has some puppies on the way. The one caveat is that they are a little on the pricey side. You get what you pay for, and she raises championship dogs.
Can anyone suggest some other reputable breeders in the GA area? I want to know I am getting a puppy from someone who raises them them the right way and in good health. Aside from that, I am not so much concerned with how many best in show awards they have.

The last thing I will say is that I want to avoid the petland-like puppy mill or puppy broker at all cost. I also realize that if advertising "teacup" Yorkie's, I will RUN the other way. You guys are the professionals, and with that I need some help!

Thanks for any and all the input you guys can provide!
