Looking for Yorkie in IL (Chicago) or surrounding region
 

Hi

I'm very interested in getting a Yorkie, preferable a female on the smaller side. I'm looking for a high quality breeder with serious attention to health and temperament issues. I'm willing to travel a couple of hours in any direction. Any recommendations? Suggestions on how to go about this search?

I see there is a another similar post with few responses...not sure why. I'm a newbie to the whole breeder issue, all my dogs have been rescues. I'm open to that and don't have to have a puppy, but haven't been able to find one that suits my needs (health, temperament, size, availability).

Hi I am Radars Mommy, and Radar is in need of a new home. I am in tears writing this so pleases think about this serieously before responding.
Radar was rescued from a puppy mill about four years ago and when I got him he was about on his last leg. We have worked through his socializing issues, he loves kids and most people and he has learned to play finaly.

Radar is a pure yorkie boy and is 7 years old, he is by my side 95% of everyday all day but he still has anxiety seperation issues so he has to stay in a dippar or puppy band. I am getting ready to have a babby and know he will be feeling left out and want him to continue to heal in a healthy enviroment with someone who has had experieance with rescues and yorkies. He can be kenneled fr short periods of time but I prefe he goes to a home where he's in an puppy pen instead when no ones around (this is because of his previeouse tramatic life.
He is so sweet and needs someone who will be able to be devoted to him everyday all day. He is uptodate on shots, neutered and in Elgin IL with me I just want to find him the best home possible. Let me know if you woud be interestead in my sweet little man.

Our breeder is AMAZING...she is in Iowa--about 7 hours from you. But, worth the drive. Several of my friends and I all have puppies from her and they are great. Her website is yorkiesjs.com.

I love her and we will always use her as our breeder.

I currently have two little AKC males with CH bloodlines and then I will be expecting another litter in July. I am located in MI

thank you
 

thank you all for your replies, I really appreciate it. I actually only got notification of the first couple, and feel badly I didn't get back to the rest of you in any way. I took a slight detour from my Yorkie search to look into grooming costs which I had learned would be about $50 per six weeks (Chicago rates), and I need to make sure I can do all this comfortably (would likely have to hire a dog walker/daycare too). I am also looking into grooming it myself and whether this would be do-able. When I do adopt, it will be for keeps, so just doing all the research.
