Small yorkie is risky having a healthy problem hope you search some information before you decide.

Here in EU I found many yorkies from family homes too that are about 300-500 which is a good price besides being not marked "small".

I applaud you for taking the time to research. Like others have said, be very weary of those breeders that purposefully breed the tiny ones. I have a 7 lb yorkie, and trust me when I tell you he's still small. He's "travel size" as I like to call him. He's my shopping buddy, hiking buddy, travel buddy... He's so high energy sometimes, he can handle it all! But it's also nice that if needed, I can pick him up easily to carry him for hours, or if he's scared and we're out, he crawls into my purse to hide. Travel size is a good size to have!

PS I wouldn't mind a teapot yorkie as we call them. More yorkie to love!!!

Thank you guys... REALLY - you guys are a life saver!
It makes a huge difference doing research and also have people pointing things out.

Still taking my time practically almost "scanning" every seller I come across around my area. I might even talk to my vet about it lol

[LorraineHarper]

I wish I could just take you all with me while visiting these sellers lol
Imagine how that would go....

The funny thing is/ once you know the red flags, they are very easy to spot. It's really just a matter of finding a great breeder that the waiting list isn't too long !

[LorraineHarper]

Where I live there is no waiting list. Either you visit the puppy and take it with you when it's ready to go home or they will just tell you if there is a litter coming up.

I want a girl but currently i saw a breeder and sells two boys (4 months old).

If it's a good breeder, I would consider going by personality n temperament, unless you are set on girl only.

[LorraineHarper]

You know that when we visit them there is a 99% chance we take them home right?
My bf wanted a boy cause our cat Lily is a girl. Is 4 months too old cause I know everyone is out for the younger ones yet I feel 4 months is still young and being with their parents longer is a good thing?

[lovestiny]

I got each of mine at 4 mos it's a great age to get them ...

In the USA, reputable breeders don't let them leave until a minimum of 12 weeks and if they are small, sometimes they keep a few weeks longer.
