First off, I am so sorry to all of you who have suffered the loss of your beautiful furry friends. They are such a joy in our lives.

I have yet to experience the joy of owning a Yorkie, but have been looking for months. It's really hard finding a breeder in Colorado. Anyways, is it common to buy a Yorkie for so much money and for them not to make it? I really don't want that kind of broken heart.

I think the "horror" stories get a lot more press. That being said, make sure you see the puppy you are buying in its home environment. You can see the parents that way and meet the breeder. Lexy's breeder is so nice and she cried when I took Lexy! She also interviewd me as to the safety of my household, etc. I think this is a good sign.

If you can't go see a puppy in person, get one from the references on this site. People here will tell you if a breeder is selling good puppies.

Lexy's 2 adorable sisters are still for sale I think. Cost is $1200.00/ I'd rather pay more in the beginning than have to have surgeries and heartaches later on.

Hope this helps you a little!

Thank you for your kind words about those of us who have lost a loved Yorkie. In regards to your question, I don't think the price that one pays for a Yorkie really is anymore of a "long life" guarantee then those Yorkie's paid for at a less amount of money. There are so many differant factors that take into play with the reasons for a loss of a Yorkie and I feel money has nothing to do with it.

I hope with time and research you find a reputable/honest breeder to give you a Yorkie to love for many many years.
