Sadly enough though, their are a ton of BROKERS, who look for these puppy mills, buy whole litters for very little, than try to make a ton of money off these babies.
If you want a nice puppy, go the the dog shows, find the breed that you have an interest in, met the breeder, and know where your dog is coming from!!!!!! Visit the breeders home, meet the parents, grandparents, and maybe even the great grandparents, get references, Vet, neighbors, and other breeders, get the pedigree, and make sure it is AKC, and after you have done all your homework on the breed you want, you will be going in the right direction!!!!! You will most likely have these babies for 15 years or more, problems seldom show up before 6 mos. and than it is to late, that baby has your heart, and you will spend a ton of money trying to make the puppy whole, healthy,sometimes unable to even save this puppies life, it is the most heartbreaking thing you will ever live, watching a beautiful little puppy dying, pleading to you to help it, and sometimes you can, if you have enough money, and sometimes all the money in the world can not save this baby. believe me you get what you pay for!!!!! You either pay the price for a great puppy from a wonderful breeder, or you buy an cheap yorkie, and in a year it could triple the cost of what you could have paid from your show breeder, puppy mills do not show!!!!!! I doubt you would even be able to ever see the parents or grandparents of that puppy, they are probley dead or close to death. Do not buy any puppy unless you know exactly where it is coming from, spend the money to fly to the breeders kennel, check out all the dogs, they should have energy, should be well groomed, have a sparkle in their eyes, should know their names, should be friendly, happy and well adjusted, and should show great interest in their puppies, if a mom is not interested in playing with her puppies, she is worn down and needs to be rested. You don't want to see a mommy, tired, depressed, or in bad coat! You get wonderful dogs from show breeders, they may cost a little more, but in the long run you will save a lot of money and heart ache! This puppy is a 15 year investment, when you spread the extra cost over 15 years of maybe1,000.00 divided by 15 years is 66.00 a year, 5.50 a month, when you do the math you will be able to see which is the better deal! Have a puppy that is thriving, in good health, and a beauty to look at!!!!! Their is nothing more beautiful in this world than a yorkie in full silk coat to the ground, when they walk or run and that coat blows in the wind, it is breathtaking, you literally can not take your eyes off that dog!

I guess by now you know I love the dog shows and the breeds are all the best that is out their. So do yourself a favor, next time you want a really nice puppy, spend a little extra, you won't be sorry, and you will thank yourself over and over, and will most likely have a puppy that you just can't quit bragging about, and a puppy that will not give you any health problem, just a little puppy that will be a great joy to own, and for sure one you can be proud of. Yorkies that are a bargin, beware of. As I said before, you get what you pay for!!!!!!!!!!
