| Wanted: my very own Yorkie :) Hello all! My name is Ashley and I live in St. Louis. I am trying to find a Yorkie to call my own. I prefer a toy female. I think a teacup would just get eaten by my 2 year old cat. I am looking to purchase one around the end of May. If you know of any good breeders within an hour to an hour and a half of St. Louis PLEASE let me know. Also if you have any pointers on choosing the right yorkie I would love to hear your tips. THANKS |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Hi welcome to Yorkietalk. Yorkshire terriers have only one class, they are part of the toy group in the AKC. Standard size yorkies are 7 pounds and under. We don't like to use the teacup word around here because many unethical breeders use that word to describe a very small 3lb and under yorkie. An ethical breeder will not use that word, so if you see someone selling teacup yorkies stay away from them. I think it's very important to get to know the breeder and learn everything you can from them. The Yorkshire Club of American http://www.ytca.org/breeder4.html lists breeders who are in good standing with the AKC. You are wise to do research ahead of time. Yorkies have been over bred in the past and have many heredity problems so it's best to go to a breeder that tests for this. It will save you money and heartache in the long run.
