This may pertain to breeders and sellers as well. I recently have been looking for a little yorkie for my girlfriend of 4 years. She has been asking for about 2 so I decided this was the moment she is ready to take care of one. I have looked all over places, the only time I have actually come in contact with one was at a pet store in which the yorkie was over 2,000$. I found that to be high. I continued my search online and there are tons of people selling them from 200-1500. I have seemed to notice that sites like

domesticsale.com
yahoopets.com

have a bunch of fake people just asking me to send them money. They say that they want me to western union and that there is another breeder they know to contact, etc. They say they are on missionary trips in Africa all sorts of excuses. I also seem to notice the photos of the dog to be stock photos not even like they are natural. It is beginning to bother me that there are so many dishonest people out there trying to make a quick buck.

I want to know a list of good websited, people, or any place to get a yorkie for nearly 800 and under. Something that will stay at 4 lbs. or so. I am scared to do business with all of these people so I don'y know where to start.

I visited a site called purepups.com which had some beautiful dogs but I am not sure how real it can be...someone please steer me the right way.

I am new at this so bear with me.
