| I am interested to know... Where does everyone usually find their YTs. I know here in Montgomery, AL..I could not find a breeder ANYWHERE. I even looked into the Pensacola area where I am originally from. I looked for about 6 months. That is why I ended up adopting Bentley from another state on puppyfind.com. Thanks!

| I got Bentley from a breeder in middle Tennessee, Lexi (and Saturday Chloe ) from a breeder in Georgia, and Karlee is a rehome from Kentucky. All over the place! LOL

| Oh wow! haha I really wanted to be able to pick my baby from a litter and actually meet face to face with the breeder but I just could not find anyone! I wanted a Yorkie and would not settle for anything less so I just purchased him the hard way

| Well I actually became really good friends with the breeder in Middle Tennessee. It is about 3 1/2 hours from me so I can't go all the time, but I have spent a weekend with her family and plan to go next weekend. The breeder in Georgia I have met and talk to frequently. She is wonderful and that is why I decided to get another furbaby from her. Locally it is really hard to find a good breeder here too. But at least they are not TOO far away.

YT 500 Club Member | Yay another Pensacolian! I went to ytca.org and I found some breeders,one that seemed really sweet was Gina Pierce of Georgins yorkies she is in alabama also I love the look of Starshine Yorkies breeder Chris is in Alabama too. Both breeders show and really seemed to be great . I wish I had found them first.

| I purchased Sophie from Sarah at Yorkies of Walnut Hills in Missouri. I looked at other puppies here and there and they are were all cute but when I saw a video of Sophie and her litter mates I fell in love. She was THE ONE and still is !!

| I am in Cullman AL!!! And I know of a breeder you DO NOT want to go to. Peggys Poodles, Peggy Burden I got one of my little yorkies from her and she has been sick from the day I have gotten her.

| I found Fancy over the internet after looking for several months. It was divine intervention - I had went to see a different puppy a few days before and I wasn't sure about that one or the breeder and then I found Fancy from another breeder and I went to see her and wound up getting her right then and there - it was love at first sight for both of us! Come to find out my husband was going to surprise me with the other puppy that I was unsure about but I bought Fancy before he did. I had looked at a couple of other puppies and a full grown yorkie a couple months before that but there was something not right about those situations either. I'm so glad I didnt just buy the first one I found and waited until I met Fancy. I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world! January 22nd will be one since I got her!

| Wow!!! I am so glad you all found your babies near home!! It is SO important to get your pick of the litter and see the baby before you get him/her. I wish I could of done that! When I decide to get another YT I am going to search longer and not get one until I see a litter. I had just gotten to the point where I felt like I could not wait any longer and I needed my baby with me, so I got him. I hope he will be small enough..I LOVE bigger dogs but one thing that attracts me to Yorkies is their tiny size and playful energy. My baby, Bentley, that I am picking up tomorrow at the airport is 4 and a half inches tall and he is a little chubby because the breeder feeds the babies too much.

| There are great breeders on this site! I would take the time to do research and check them out when you are looking for your next baby. Being on here you can also talk to people who have bought their Yorkies from some of the member breeders on here. You will also see pictures of how these puppies grow into beautiful Yorkies and learn about their quality and health. Oh, you may still have to travel to pick up that next baby too! Good luck with your first new baby, Bentley!
