I'm looking to buy a yorkie..Any online sites that are LEGIT?
 
Hi everyone :),

I'm looking to buy a yorkie, I tried Pennysaver (i tried it..got scammed) as i tried other sites as well and got scammed from there too..:\ ..i tried Animal shelters and they didn't have yorkies there :(.. Has anyone gotten a yorkie from a site that doesn't scam.. If so can you please link me the site?

Thanks! :)

I would be weary of buying from an online site. If it were me buying, I would prefer direct contact with a breeder allowing me to visit on site where the pups are being kept and I am able to see the conditions, and if parents are on site. Try looking in the local newspaper classifieds. Im sure you'll find something.

Try the YTCA website. They are the mother club for the Yorkshire Terrier and they have a breeder referral list. It will take time and research on your part to weed through the bad breeders (I hope there are no scammers there) but if you do your part and not rush into a purchase it will be well worth it. Good luck! I hope you find your perfect forever furry friend. :)

I forgot to add, DO NOT BUY FROM A WEBSITE! You don't know what you are getting if you do that. Will the puppy be healthy? Will it be what they said it will be? There are so many horror stories on YT alone....

Buy local, meet the breeder, the parents of your puppy, and find out what health testing was done to help make sure your pup will be healthy. Like I said, it will take a while, but it will all be worth it.

I feel your pain. I got a lot of attitude from the breeders I contacted, requests for way too much info from the yorkie rescue groups and 'teacup' scams online.

Good luck.

I just sent you a PM about a very reputable breeder who's been showing Yorkies for about 30 years. If she doesn't have any puppies right now, she may know who does. Good luck in your search.

Mari, I know that I am not a scammer, but I just have one lil guy. I'm not a 'breeder' per se, just had 7 litters since 1996. Mostly for people who wanted my lovely lil babies... both Yorkies and Min Pins. This lil boy is just adorable. Will likely be his daddy's size, 5 lbs. Mom is a bit larger at 7. These are appropriate sizes for both breeds, but everyone seems to think they're large because all of the ads out there that LIE! So sad!

Have you tried yorkie rescue places?

DON'T buy yorkies on line or news papers! You get what you pay for! Pay cheap now and have thousand of dollars in vet bills for the rest of the yorkies life! Pay the upfront $$$'s now and hopefully you will have a healthy dog for the rest of it's life! Go to Dog Shows and only by from a Yorkie
Show Family...no I don't show nor breed but I'm now looking for a 4th yorkie after 15 years with one dog! Ask Questions and check Pedigree! If no
CH. by the pedigree name...they don't show much if any! Good Luck

I totally agree with the above statement!! Don't just look at the price of the dog as a CHEAP Yorkie 'could' end up costing Thousands of Dollars in VET BILLS! Some sites will show cute dogs but when you buy the dog site unseen and NOT do your home work - you may end up with a totally different dog. Some are only in for the breeding for the money. :mad: If you are looking for an AKC dog...they are NOT allowed to send a puppy home until they are 12 wks of age. Anything before is too young! Check the AKC website for breeders in your area! Good luck... I'm on my 4th Yorkie! :aimeeyork

No good breeder will sell from a website, they might have a website, but they won't sell from one. A good breeder will insist on meeting you and you should meet them and decide if the way they are raising their dogs is humane. The breeders who sell directly to the public, need no license, and some of the worse puppy mills in the world have adorable websites. There are even some puppy mill breeders who are members of yorkietalk! If you care about dogs, please visit the breeder's home.

Kaacey 03-23-2012 09:32 AM
So True!!!!!!!!! Just do your home work and visit the breeders house! See the Mom Yorkie and Dad if possible as this is what YOUR new baby will more than likely look like as an adult! This is a Lifetime commitment (could be 16+ yrs) don't rush into buying a new family member! :aimeeyork

Tea Cup Yorkies ?? Really?

No, it's just a nickname; there is no official classification for a teacup, and those breeders who use the word often as a marketing ploy. It’s okay for a pet owner to use the word, but there’s really no definition for it. The Yorkshire Terrier is considered a toy breed with the official standard "Not to exceed 7 pounds." Yorkies whose adult weight is less than 4 pounds often need special care. By the way, in answer to your previous question I always recommend the YTCA breeder referral list. The link isn't working properly, but try it later, lots you can learn on the site though. Yorkshire Terrier Club of America About The Club

I just wanted to say Hi to you. I have one of your babies. My yorkie was bought from you from a family named Sandra and Steve Stafford in Irvine, CA.

Steve is a co worker friend of Scott's (my fiance) was relocating to Sydney, AU for work and didn't want to put her through the 6 month quarantine process. The family asked Scott if we would like to adopt Lillybelle their 3 year old "Yorkie"! After careful consideration we said YES!!! (like I could ever say no)

We changed her name to Bella and she came to live with us in July 2011. She is very sweet, very loving and has a BIG personality. She's becoming quite the "jet-setter" as we try to take her everywhere with us. We CANNOT imagine our lives without her.

Bella was born on 6/22/08 She is an amazing little dog. She loves everyone she meets. She has such a beautiful coat but we keep her in a puppy cut or a westie cut. The only health problem she has is a trachea issue but nothing too bad. She seems to have "good knees" too.
