| What do you think of these little guys..? These little boys look wonderful to me; haven't seem them in person yet, and I'm wondering what any of you with more experience than I have think of them? They're actually in my area and the breeder is asking 500. Isn't this an unusually good price? He's been a breeder for 20 years, and has both parents on site. Says they're both great dogs... Thanks for any advice/input/comments. |

| They are so cute! For around where I live, $500 is pretty common for a pet quality yorkie. Did it not work out with the other little girl?

| Just as I've been worried about, they've decided to get professional help for her aggression toward their other dog. Don't remember if I told you, but their other dog is a Lhasa Apso who has epilepsy and since it had a seizure in front of the Yorkie, she's been very aggressive toward it. They also have 3 children who don't want to part with her, so while they were on vacation for the past couple of weeks someone suggested they get professional help for her to see if that will fix the situation. She'll keep me updated, but as I've been waiting 3 weeks already, I'm ready to move on. I'd still love to take her if it ever works out, but sick of waiting. Cried my eyes out when I finally got her email last night telling me of their decision! |

| My suggestion would be to go to the breeders home and check out his breeding situation and if you like what you see and want one of the puppies, then have him get the puppy Vet. checked and give you the paper from the Vet. Also have an agreement drawn up if the breeder doesn't have one. You can get ideas on what to write up from any of the reputable breeders here on YT. It really doesn't matter if you pay $500.00 or $5000.00, but whether the puppy is a nice solid healthy one, because it will be a family member for many years, hopefully.

| Just a question for the experts: These puppies in the pictures have "droopy" ears. Does that mean they are maybe not purebred? Or maybe they are too young? I got my girl at the age of 14 weeks and she already had her ears up, so I wouldn't know what a younger yorkie puppy would look like.

| Baxter is pure-bred and his ears never stood up. He can pick them up if he wants but he's lazy! His mother's ears were straight up but his father's ears weren't. i just couldn't stand to tape them. |
