They are both VERY VERY well socialized and I have not had the first problem with them. I was taking them on a walk yesterday, as a matter of fact, and someone stopped with her dog to pet my 2 and she actually commented on how well socialized my yorkies are. She said most yorkies that she's seen are skittish and well, mine obviously are not...I would call them over-friendly if anything. They LOVE every person they see and are obsessed with every animal they see, big or small.

The truth of the matter is that everyone here can give their personal opinions as to what they prefer, but when you are looking for a yorkie, go visit both types of breeders, both those that raise theirs in home and those who have a kennel, and decide for YOURSELF which one you prefer. You may not have a problem buying from someone who has a nice clean kennel. I personally do not see a problem with it at all. Just because they are kept in a kennel by no mean indicates that they are neglected or unsocialized. My 2 yorkies are proof of that. There are MANY MANY others on here that will agree with me. Granted, there are many others on there that will disagree with me as well, I'm sure.

EXCELLENT!!!
