I think it depend on you. Puppies are cute and you can't help but fall in love with one. She seems to be pretty open about his problem but you must understand you are not going to save money by getting him. You may spend thousands of dollars on surgery, therapy, and vet bills to correct his weak knee. If you can't afford that you are better off looking for a more expensive healthy puppy than a cheaper puppy with a problem.

A older dog is nice. It has it benefits. They are more likely to not chew things up and easier to potty train if they are not. Less maintenance and you don't have to worry about all those initial puppy shots. Plus a yorkie can live up to 15 years old. But keep in mind at 8 years old, she may start to develop problems due to old age. Are you up to taking care of those problems if it comes up?

I'm sorry to sound negitive. It's just things you have to think about.
