Soon to Be Yorkie Mom- Need Help!
 

Hello everyone,

I am so glad I found this wonderful site, I have been nosing around all day but I still have a few questions yet to ask.

This will be my very first Yorkie- I have never had one before. However, I have had a shih-tzu and a maltese so I am aware of how to care for a long haired small dog.

My question is basically this: Where can I find a quality yorkie pup in the US? I live in Addison, TX but will travel or make other arrangements if necessary.

I am looking for a SMART puppy (haven't decided whether female or male) who would mature somewhere between 3-5 pounds. Of course like everyone else I do want a babydoll face, shorter muzzle-the Forever Puppy Look. But most important is attitude and personality. I want a dog who is laid back but can play too.

If anyone could lead me in the correct direction that would be great. Right now I am working with one breeder who does have some male pups available but I want to see if there is any other breeders who I mesh well with as well. My budget will allow a price of $750-$1,200 or so. I understand these dogs are expensive (again I had a Maltese and Shihtzu before) but I am finding that this price range is reasonable for a pet quality Yorkie. I am not going to be spending $3,000-$5,000 for a pet yorkie-i have no interest in showing or breeding.

Thanks again! SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!

good luck in your search for your new baby....if you have any questions feel free to pm me and i'll be happy to help you !! :p

there are some great yorkie breeders right here on YT! there is http://www.garlinyorkies.info/Shes a member here & im planning on getting my pup from her once im ready (i need to move & get settled into a new house) off the top of my head i can say umm sweetyorkies.com shes a member here also

but heres a list of like evrey breeder from here to timbuktoo http://puppydogweb.com/breeders/york...finan%20Kennel

becareful tho, there are some bad breeders out there with really pretty websites.

hope i helped :) Most of them are within your price range & dont get fooled by ANY breeder that paying that much meens you are getting a better puppy. $3000+ is OUTRAGEOUS especially for a pet!


hope i helped :)

i for one prefer to find one locally so i can go over to their home and visit with them...get a feel for where my next baby will be coming from, how their parents are raised and treated...and so forth...

so i couldn't refer you to any since I am not from there...but just wanted to give my little 2 cents...good luck on your search...and if you should find one don't forget to post some pictures for us here at YT...have a wonderful evening.

yes, if I do find a pup I like out of state I will most likely be going there to pick them up.

good as long as you are able to see where they come from...and what the breeder is like...then that is great news.

that's great advice Mary !! ;)

Welcome to YT!!!
If you are wanting a mellow, lovable, baby face yorkie, then I highly recommend Jill Brooks, she is from Indiana and she is who I got Lillie from. There are several of us here at YT who has Jill's babies.

Lillie is 3 lbs and is such a mama's girl. Not a barker and is pee pad trained.

yes your baby is a spitting image of what I want as far as looks wise (UBER ADORABLE!), and her personality sounds on point as well. How do I find this breeder? Does she have a website?

You can see my little guy on my avatar. I bought Chewie from a breeder locally in Grand Prairie. I know of another YT member that purchased a boy from her also and is pleased. Her prices are in your range. You can PM me if you want more specific information.

Good luck!

any luck so far? keep us updated...don't forget the pictures when you do get your baby...

:D :) I have a nice list of prospects now! Thanks everyone! I like this site a lot better than the old Maltese sight I used to be on, I wouldn't have even been able to ask for help with this over there!

Thanks everyone so much! Everyone's babies are just so adorable. I can't wait to be a full member of the club.

thats good to hear...

i am still in search of perfect baby...kekek...
