Hi All! I am new to the forum, but my wife and I have been reading the threads here for awhile. I have one male yorkie who is 20 weeks old (weighed 3 lbs at 16 weeks, unsure now, but he's not much bigger, if any). He has had all his shots and has been wormed, groomed, and is puppy pad trained. Also, I have one female yorkie, 13 weeks old, unsure of her weight (she is a chubby little thing, though and slightly bigger than the male described above, she has not had her rabies shot yet or been wormed, but she is puppy pad trained. The male is UKC registered and the Female is CKC registered. I am only asking what I paid for them $700 for the female and $600 for the male.

Ok....now for the reason why we are searching for new homes for them.........Please don't judge us.......

......I'm really nervous to write this because of the potential fallout, but here goes.........We originally intended to get one yorkie, then we decided we liked two, so we purchased two females from the same litter (sisters) and had them about a week. Then, we decided if we got a male from a different litter, we could breed them since it is so hard to find yorkies here. I know, I know.......Most of you reading are enraged that we would think of breeding so casually, but I'm sorry to tell you, this happens all the time in the real world and we really didn't see anything wrong with it at the time -- boy were we ignorant and naive! However, my wife stumbled upon your site trying to learn more about the breed and she showed it to me, and now with all the knowledge about breeding (the ups and downs) we have gained here on the site, we have decided not to breed our yorkies as we had previously planned for numerous reasons....way to many to list but some of which included, not being AKC registered, not knowing anything about faults, floppy ears, don't know what "good example of breed standard" actually looks like, didn't know yorkies have such a hard time having babies, etc." Those of you who are fuming as you read this can now breathe a sigh of relief. You've actually stopped a wanna-be backyard breeder from doing business!! But, strange as it sounds, we are very happy we found yorkie talk. It has changed our thoughts about many things!

So what about keeping them as pets? Well, we thought we would do that at first, but they are so demanding (something we didn't know when we got them all), we can hardly keep up with 3 yorkies and 2 kids. My wife is completely overwhelmed as am I. We have decided that 1 is all we can handle. We are keeping one of the siblings and we will have her spayed. Though we will miss them, we would rather them go to a home where someone can give them the love and attention they need and really enjoy their personalities. I figure one of the Yorkie Talkers here would be best suited for caring for them. If you are interested, please PM me. I might be willing to drive 3 to 4 hours to meet you half-way.
