And yeah, I've been looking at every legit dog imaginable and have seen them for $1000-$3000. I've seen lower and higher prices...but this seems about average. Keep making the puppies and selling them to people who are either ignorant about puppy mills or don't care. That's what they do.. I will not participate and be part of the "demand" that helps it continue.

I had no idea that there were such unscrupulous people around. I got my puppy from a famer who's house pets had had pups. The parents were both lovely looking, and the farmers wife apparently spioled them more than her husband! LOL He also had a Rotweiler who was soppy as heck. It took 2 years to find a yorkie here. The pups were all 4 months and there were just 3 there to choose from. They had about 50 meters to play in their pen and had lots of chewy toys and a ball or two to play with. They all seemed happy and in good health. They are not held to any standards here as there are no dog shows, and no qualified breeders. I'm happy that the puppy mill hasn't extended to Tunisia, I hope to god it never does. I consider myself VERY fortunate that we found a pup at all, and even more fortunate that she is a healthy and a happy little cutey thing

Sounds like a puppy broker to me. I would put that person on my "blocked senders list" and stay away from her. There are lots of GREAT breeders, both show type and small home breeders who can supply you with a healthy happy puppy. Usually there is a lot of hard work finding the perfect furchild, but after all, this is an addition to your family who will be with you for many years to come. But one you find the right baby, then let the fun begin.

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH!!! Try to find a local breeder and GO to the breeder, look at the facilities and ALL of their dogs. Educate yourself on the breed and ask hard questions and expect honest answers.

Is the darling in your avatat a Boxer?

I don't live in Oklahoma, but I live 2 miles across the OK border in Kansas. The breeder I got my Jasmine from lives here and just the other day I saw a sign in front of a house that said Yorkie pups for sale. Someone said it was a lady who had a male & female and bred them. I have no idea what they look like. The breeder I got Jasmine from has a little Champion male she breeds. He is Jasmine's father.
Also I don't know how close you are to Tulsa, but the Tulsa paper always has Yorkies. Just go to Tulsaworld.com You can PM me.

I checked in the classified ads for dogs in the Tulsa World and there are lots and lots of Yorkies. Starting as low as 300. and $500. on up. There was a lot of different area codes and prefixes on the different ads so some may even be near you. I even saw the ad for the one that was about 3 miles from me. Lana
