hi welcome to YT. my breeder has a new litter. check ebay classifieds and put in nh and look at puppies and dogs. i saw another litter in nh as well that has yorkie pups under 1000 as well. not sure about mass breeders. my yorkie is a good healthy boy so far at 8 months old.

Yorkies are a commitment. Is your daughter going to be going to college while living at home? Can she afford off-campus housing with a place to take care of a Yokrie if she can't?

If it's a Yorkie for you, that's great, but I wouldn't get a Yorkie for a 13 year old honestly, there's no guarantee they'll be able to take care of it in 5 years.

If it is for you though, good luck in your search, Yorkies are -wonderful- dogs

Since the Yorkshire Terrier is such a popular breed, too many backyard breeders who know nothing about the breed have started turning out dogs. The price isn’t that much different on a dog from a reputable breeder and a dog from a backyard breeder. The difference is a reputable breeder will stand behind her dogs. Look for a breeder who does testing and understands why it’s important to follow a standard. Having a dog with an inherited genetic illness is not only financially imposing, it can be emotionally devastating. I always recommend the Yorkshire Terrier Club of American. It’s a good place to start, and you can also learn if a Yorkie is right for your family at this time. Please don't buy a dog from someone who would sell the dog to just anyone. They are in the business of selling dogs, they could care less if your dog is a healthy good representative of the breed. Yorkshire Terrier Club of America About The Club

I see that you posted this in the "Rescues & Homes needed" section. It's awesome that you're considering rescuing a Yorkie.

I've looked at petfinder in your area and I'm posting some of the dogs I saw:

Petfinder Adoptable Dog | Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie | Marblehead, MA | Ratchett

Petfinder Adoptable Dog | Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie | Manchester, NH | Sunshine

Petfinder Adoptable Dog | Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie | Quincy, MA | Stanley

Petfinder Adoptable Dog | Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie | Boston, MA | lobo

Petfinder Adoptable Dog | Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie | Taunton, MA | Freddie

These are all adoptable dogs in your area.


Supporting a backyard breeder just furthers the amounts of dogs in shelters and rescues.

Some of those doggies I found were super-adorable Plus, with the young adults, you already know what they're going to grow to look like

Good luck in your search !

Once you've researched the breeder, you must visit the home and see the parents and living conditions. Never put a deposit on a pup sight unseen. And the breeder should be asking you just as many (or more) questions than you are asking him/her...a reputable breeder will not place pups with just anyone. One more thing - the breeder should not be letting the pups go earlier than 10 weeks, or ideally at 12-14 weeks.

cloverhillyorkies.com is in mass..She is listed here in the breeder section, not sure if you will find one under 1000.00 though. good luck in your search and welcome to yorkietalk!

I doubt you will find a quality yorkie in New England for your price point. Even the pet stores charge more than that here for puppy mill dogs.

Actually the person I got Cedric from is not a back yard breeder and she does advertise her babies on Ebay Classifieds. She has a wonderful home and two wonderful Yorkie parents. Not everyone breeds to be a puppy mill and mistreats their dogs. She loves all of her animals as if they were he children and honestly Cedric is the best tempered dog I have ever had...not trying to offend anyone and this is just my opinion. This btw is the first puppy i have every paid for and not gotten from a rescue. Princess was hit by a truck and my husband saved her. Her original ownder did not want her anymore adn dump her off when they came up this way for vacaton. I only know that because she is micro chipped and they called the owner who then called me and told me I could keep her.

I'm glad Cedric didn't come from a back yard breeder I wasn't trying to say he did at all. I was just saying that the chance of getting a BYB bred dog from Ebay Classifieds is really high.

Usually you'll want to do one of two things to ensure you get a great dog. Find a breeder who's practices and methods you love, or rescue a dog. Your experience was a good one, and that's a great thing, but more often than not, ebay classifieds posters are BYB, brokers, or mill dogs, from what I've seen.

I just wanted to clarify. I realize after finding YT and reading all about back yard breeders and puppy mills how lucky I was to find Cedric and how lucky I am that my lil boy is healthy thus far.
