I was just asking the OP if being a purebred yorkie was a definate must, because it not - there are options and doing a rescue or searching shelters is positive. Just my opinion.
What shelter or rescue has ever given a dog away for free?

In fact it is advised no dog is ever free anywhere by anyone.

FYI there are THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of purebreds in shelters and rescues.

I have a designer dog he was a pup mill pound rescue he cost me about $200.

Anyways this is going way OT I just had to put that all out there.

Edit: I love Yorkies too and Yorkie mixes. They are two separate ideals though not singular
i think I read what you said and not what you meant on the first post you had.

There are also pure bred Yorkies in rescue also.

Please stay away from breeders like this one. "Professional breeder" seems to me what is actually being said is she makes her living off the backs of her little dogs. JMO Please keep looking. Checking here when you find one is a good idea, these people can spot red flags in a flash..lol
Checking the YTCA web site is a great idea!

That's exactly what it means!
Private breeders are the term of those who show and have a breeding program on the side but it's being manipulated by pup mills to say they have private breeding programs sounding very exclusive and distinct but not in the same way as one who shows and is foremost concerned with health temperament and conformity AKC

first post you had.


Really? I can't love Yorkies and not have one? Do I need to justify my love for my baby that I have admitted is a mut? Hey, I am not judging anyone on this forum but just asking that the OP to research all options. CG - again you are RIGHT and there is normally a fee for rescues or shelters - but they also come with the required shots and spayed or neutering. My Brutus was "free" but not really. I think we are on the same page... Oh, my sister had a yorkie die from parvo and has a 2 yr old girl now. I am not claiming to be an expert,as you are but just a suggestion for someone to have a great pet for life.

No, you are being a little dramatic IMHO
You really missed what I was saying as as a whole
My Schnorkie isn't a mut he's a hybrid.

Scoobers is a mix of a miniature schnauzer and a Yorkie, both purebred, papered. So says his original microchip information or the info on the breeder it lead to.

That's not a throw together anythign goes mut, I prefer not to say designer dog because it lends appeal to it and let's be real most people crossing breeds are not doing so to create a new and improved breed of dog they are doing bad breeding BYB throwing two dogs together of opposite breeds not matchmaking them well even and then selling them at a ridiculous prices as a "designer dog"

I had no idea what my pup was when I brought him home. Seriously, I had never considered having a dog in my life (please look at my previous posts). It's a long story and I think it has been posted on how Brutus and our family became one. I am not going to argue as I think we are on the same page but typing and "discussing" can look as an argument when it is not. Call me dramatic - nice.

I'd suggest waiting until after the rush of Christmas before bringing a new puppy into the home.

Ok guys you all have been a great help, but here is another one for you I found a breeder in Natchez MS, her name is Cindy Whitehead the website she uses is Honeybeeyorshireterriers.com. She breeds show dogs (yorkies) she has 1 male left due to the fact that the person that was going to buy him wanted to show him but he didnt meet the show standards due to his bite being a little off she says that he has a slight overbite that will usually correct itself I emailed her back telling her I would rather choose from a litter of puppies just because Im leary of him being the only one left when I asked her if she would be having another litter she replied she did just have some just born but they would be sold to poeple for show and what ever is left is what I would have to choose from. to be exact here is what she said in my email " As you can tell from my website, I am a show breeder. AKC has a written standard for each breed. In the Yorkies, coat/color/texture is of prime importance. There are also structure guidelines that we adhere to. There are two boys in that litter and I am keeping the one that I feel will most contribute to my breeding program. The puppy that I have chosen to place doesn't have any health issues but the standard calls for a level or scissor bite. This puppy has an overbite and the bite continues to change until they are several months old. I keep all my puppies for 12-20 weeks of age. This insures the vaccines are all given and they have had plenty of socialization with the mom and littermates. I have another litter that are newborns. There are four in that litter and I will of course keep them the same length of time. The potential show puppies will be chosen first and the others placed as companions just as in this other litter. I hope this helps explain things for you. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!" I need ya'lls adavise on this one too Im gonna see if I can get the picture of the puppy on here that she emailed me.

I don't know this breeder; however, I purchased mine from a show breeder. What she told you sounds like what I have been told about show breeders. They breed for the betterment of the breed and their line - they are not breeding puppies to make money. The pups in the litter are usually kept longer than other breeders bc they want to determine show quality. The ones that better their line and breed, they keep themselves for show. The ones that have more obvious breed standard "faults" are found "pet homes". They are lovely dogs, just not the right bite or topline or size or coloring - along those lines. My Gidget's coloring did not develop for show and my Sidney is too small.

Probably someone else on here knows that breeder. I did notice she had some nice lines in her pedigrees - Durrer, Nealstar, and Rothby.

By reading what she has written, she sounds like a reputable breeder.

I checked out her site, ready to see many red flags, but was pleasantly surprised. Not all show breeders are ethical breeders, so just because they show, this mean little to me, it's just one of the many steps in the right direction. I did find that her males and females are CHIC tested, that’s a series of health tests, which is another step in the right direction. Her dogs are all beautiful and excellent examples of the breed. I know I feel a little differently than most people, but I find the best breeder I can and then buy the dog, if there was only one left, I would consider myself lucky. She's telling you the truth about the bite, but these little things means she can't breed the dog, so it's perfect for we pet owners. As I said earlier, you really have an advantage because you had a Yorkie before that lived a long time, so a good breeder will sell to you more easily. When you are supporting a good breeder, you are supporting the future of the Yorkshire Terrier as a breed!

Is this the site?
Honeybee Yorkshire Terriers

Let me be brutally honest-this is just my opinion though too of course-the site looks good seem reputable, but lacks a LOT of information one would want to know and should before adoption.
Health testing, age of pups, condition dogs are kept in, vet references, I'm nosy I want to meet & see breeder's name face etc, I learned the hard way you want to know the breeder first then their dogs. Also it doesn't have a bunch of Yorkie education about breed, misconceptions, and of course a link to YorkieTalk.com

Oops messed up on copy paste missed a sentence I LOVE that these breeders have their pictures and their name readily listed with phone number no matter where you go on their site-it makes me feel like I know who they are from the beginning.

It does talk about health testing there are CHIC numbers on the breeding dogs. These websites are just so you can get an idea of the breeding program, they are not suppose to be all inclusive, the breeder should want to interview you, as well as you interview the breeder. I don't know if you are joking, but a link to Yorkietalk doesn't really validate a breeder and the education should be done face to face, not over some site. This is one of the reasons some breeders don't even have websites.
