| Need some advice I'm new to this forum and hopefully you guys can help me out. I'm looking to buy a Yorkie puppy in the next few months, but since I live in Lancaster everyone keeps saying every place I look is a puppy mill or broker for one and it's so frustrating. I'm willing to pay a max of $700 for the puppy. We got our German Shepherd at Forest Ridge Kennel about 6 years ago and haven't had any real issues with TJ. When I looked at the Yorkie puppies they are mixed and cost $650. I've read that they are a puppy mill broker so now I'm at a loss since apparently everyone is evil. Please help |

| Maltese is correct with what she has told you. Problem is that if you do find a puppy for the price you are looking for you run the risks of high and unexpected vet expenses. Puppy mills and BYB do not give good health guarantees so you get stuck and in the end you could have put your money into a healthier, better bred pup. I know it sounds like a sad situation - but the situation can get sadder. Go to the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America web site and read - they also list breeders. Here's the deal: they buy the breeder first, then the pup! Good luck!

| Thanks everyone! I decided that I would rather spend more up front and know exactly what I'm getting instead of guessing or getting screwed over. |
