You sound like you're gonna be a great Yorkie owner. I think the secret is being cautious and anticipating problems just like you're doing. Unfortunately, I've never had to choose a breeder so I have no advice for you there. But what you're considering -- a 5-7 pounder or more -- is what I'd recommend. I say just check out a few breeders in your price range and see which one jumps out at you. The cool thing about Yorkies is you can't make a bad choice. They're all awesome.
