[QUOTE=amberWA;972953]Hello,

My name is Amber. I live in Seattle, WA. I have 2 children, no pets. I have always been around dogs and I fell in love with yorkies. I have several books on yorkies and have been researching them for a while. I am so glad I found this site. I plan on getting a yorkie in a few months or so. I am in no hurry. I want to find the perfect breeder and perfect pup for us. I want a female (possibly a male) and preferably with show-potential as I really would love to get into shows. Ultimately, I want 2 puppies. My question is, do I get one first then get another down the road? Or do I get 2 about the same time? I have had fun reading the posts here and seeing all the adorable pictures. I am learning sooo much!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone,
Amber[/QUOTE
I am new here also, but I learned the hard way, not to be too anxious and get the first one you see. I dealt with Yorkmont Yorkies in Georgia, and she really took me. Totally lied about the size, weight, etc. I paid $4200 for her including air fare. I love my Lola, but I really got taken. There was nothing I could do, as I live in California and she was in Georgia. Beware and GOOD LUCK!!
