Hi! I am new to this site and I already know that this is going to be a great resource for me. I am planning to get a pup and met with 2 breeders yesterday. I am in a delima as to which pup to get and hope you can give me some insights/ advice.

The first breeder has been breeding for 3 years, and prior to that she worked for a Yorkie breeder for 5 yrs. She has an 8-week, 1 lb female still available. She is a parti-colored Yorkie like her dad who is a European import. Dad is 3 lb and mom is 5 lb and according to the chart is saw on this site she will grow to be about 3 lb. She comes with a one-year health guarantee. She trembled most of the time I was holding her (and was not engaging; almost looked like she is scared) and the breeder said that's because the pup was nervous as she is not familiar with me.

The second breeder I met has been in the Yorkie business (showing and breeding) for 30 years. He was one of the first members of the YTCA. He has 9 pups from 3 litters. He has 2 females left; a 7 weeks old who is 1.6 lb and 5 weeks old who is 8 oz. They are both sired by the same AKC registered male champion but different moms. According to the chart the 7-week old will be about 4.5 lb and 5-week old about 2 lb (that is really "tiny"!). The older pup was very calm and engaging (sniffing and licking my hands) when I held her. The younger pup was asleep the whole time.

I've attached the pics and they are not the best quality because I used my camera phone.

Thanks.
