So glad you joined our growing family of yorkie lovers.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet little Pekingese. Losing a beloved furkid rips a hole in your heart.
If you are looking for a pup in Kentucky, the only recommendation I have is for Anna Stringer. She has earned the title of AKC Breeder of Excellence. My Lacie is out of her breeding.

Otherwise I would recommend checking with rescues. There are many yorkies in rescue situations that would love to have a permanent family.
