13. Do you ship your Yorkies: too small (although well adjusted to traveling in a purse everywhere with me ... I am not comfortable with him traveling alone)

14. Any additional information you want to add: I am in NO hurry to find him a home, I would rather take my time finding a perfect match for him. He is absolutely great with other dogs, people, and kids (but is too small for younger children). He is crate-trained, 100% tile trained (he knows that cold floor = ok to pee) 90% pee pad trained. He sleeps with me at night but is just as ok with sleeping in his crate. Amazing personality, very social! Wonderful thick coat, black, tanish brown and his blue is starting to come in on his head. Cutest baby-doll face.

what a cutie he is!!!

awww he is a cutie

Awh thanks :) I adore him, so his new home has to be amazing.

My concern is breeding size of the parents 2lbs and 3 lbs. Hmmmm Also pretty interesting when I googled your phone number. Are you actually the breeder or a broker?

Good idea (google number) ... I only ever rehomed another yorkie male (he was not mine, I was helping a friend). It pulled up a maltipoo, which if you click on the link it is the same site I used to rehome the other yorkie. But I never had a maltipoo. I am not a breeder, nor a broker. Thank you for expressing your concerns thou.

If you have any other questions I do not mind answering them. I'm just a yorkie lover.

If you aren't the breeder of this little guy, then I am not sure if YT allows you to offer it for sale here.
I would be concerned about the size of the puppy, I never sell anything less than 2 1/2 lbs I don't care how old it is before sale. Why? Health issues that can arise and hypoglycemia which can be lethal if the new owner doesn't recognize the problem. Too many vets don't know either so that doesn't always work for a new owner to go to the vet when it crashes. I also would prefer to keep it until it is over 6 months to be sure of health issues and it is BA tested as well as full blood panel for other liver/kidney function. Spay/neuter is done by my Vet once it is safe to do so.
I would never consider using a Yorkie for breeding purposes less than 5 lbs. The parents of this little guy should definitely have been health tested and I would hope there is some sort of guarantee in writing from the breeder who signs the paperwork, protecting the buyer.
If you are selling for someone else, that makes you a third party and can get kind of confusing for the buyer as to who might be liable for the health guarantee.

Thank you for this information. I unfortunately acquired this little guy as a surprise birthday present (which I NEVER EVER recommend). He is from a breeder, though. If I cannot find him the absolute perfect home, I plan on keeping him. I am well versed about hypoglycemia, and I do take precautions. My vet and I have discussed testing on him, and I plan on having it done. The majority of my vet's patients are of the smaller breeds (many of which are yorkshire terriers). I do not intend on giving this little guy up to any plain ol' jane, dick or harry. I go through an interview process that is thorough and if the potential new owner does not agree to participate in any portion of it ... then I decline their offer. Thank you again. :thumbs_up

As long as you are the owner, you have the right to post. it's posting puppies that belong to other people that is not allowed. Good luck rehoming him. he sure is a cutie.

Adorable baby:)

100% tile trained? LOL! He is a cutie! Genghis needs a buddy but I think this little guy will be to delicate!

Haha that was my first impression. My older boy is a whopping 9.5-10lbs. And he LOVES LOVES LOVES playing/jumping/running/fetching. Versace (my older one) jumps soooo high, he can easily jump on the kitchen counter if he knows one of his toys is up there. But Diesel (my little one) plays twice as hard as Versace for a good 1-2 hrs then naps then is back at it. It is hillarious. Diesel is a great pup, and thats why I insist on a thorough interview process on any potential family for him.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Woah, that pup has some tiny parents. Are his parents champions?

The parents wouldn't meet weight for show.

True. So Alyssa that is one cute pup! What do you look for when breeding your yorkies?

As explained above....she isn't the breeder.

Oh okay! I didn't read the other post:p

It's ok. I will have a mentor when I finally decide to breed. I'm working on a mentor relationship right now. But when I do decide to breed. The health will be the foremost important thing for me. I will be spending as much as needed to run tests on my potential breeders to find any detectable health issues. But to have an increased chance of healthy breeders I'm doing my research now and am looking out for who I will get my breeding pups from.

Thank you. :)

What an adorable little guy!

To find a good mentor you may want to find a good show breeder who will really teach you the breed standard and can tell you all about the dogs going way back in their pedigrees including other lines they have brought into their line.
Health testing one you might particularly purchase won't tell you a lot. Why? Because there are genetic issues that a dog or bitch can be a carrier meaning that with a certain mating, a genetic issue can occur in the pups. The dog or bitch at this time until a genetic marker is discovered, will test out fine and you think you are safe. You may not be as the sire and dam are not exhibiting anything but have the potential to have the genes that with the right combination could throw a problem pup or litter.
Whatever you do, when you do find the right breeder and eventually they sell you something, buy one only and start there to learn about the breed and show it with your mentors help.
Buying a few dogs from here and there to breed is a big mistake as you won't really know how they will 'click' in a breeding.
I bought my first bitch about 15 years ago. Unfortunately she didn't really turn out to be show quality but wasn't that bad. I won the trust of a good show breeder mento and used her studs over time and steadily improved what I had. I never purchased another Yorkie until 2005. ANd then i knew what line I wanted and what type I was looking for and bought from long time established show breeder.

Thank you. I will definitely be taking this steps. I'm just in the beginning of beginning phases (and I've been searching/researching for 3 years now). :thumbup::D

If you can, find some AKC dog shows and go watch the Yorkies.
Even better, go to the YTCA website at Yorkshire Terrier Club of America and there is a tab for their specialties around the US and attend one of those Specialties. You will get to see a lot of Yorkies and a lot of breeders that way.

Who is the breeder of this little one? I think it is important for a potential buyer to know where their prospective pet is coming from. When buying from a third party, it is even more important to find out where and how the little one came into the world.

Her name is Shelley. She lives in Florida. Thats as much as I was able to get out of my little sister (gift giver). My little sister is pretty upset I'm rehoming him. I am rethinking it too. I've only gotten one person from YT interested. And the other ad I listed is bringing in the most sketch people, and I do not feel comfortable with him going to them. I've had someone yell at me for his outrageous price, how aweful a person I was for selling him just to getmoney, and I should be ashamed of myself for rehoming him just because I didn't like him. Oh these people could NOT be more wrong. They don't understand the situation and I don't feel the need to explain myself to these people. So therefore I'm kind of glad that is as much info that I have right now about the breeder, I would hate for her have to deal with that type of bull. Anyways I'm really thinking about keeping him. How can I trust anyone with a pup so small?

What a doll!!!
 

He is just WAY cute! I was wanting to get another little girl but he certainly makes me rethink that.....

Awh thank you. Email/call me if you are still interested.

I'm still in search of his perfect home. I've had three almost to be's but things didn't work out. He is almost 6 months and finally gained some weight. He is now a whole whopping 3 lbs. That is just after eating and drinking. He has such a compact body. His length is still the same and he is about 1/2 inch taller! Go baby go! He has followed to the ounce the puppy growth chart will be charted at 3.5lbs. Here are some updated pictures. His coat is growing in nicely.

I prefer someone who lives close. I'm not a breeder (nor his breeder) but I'd be willing to take him back if his new family ever has any issues (either with him or other pets or financially ANYTHING).

PS the biewer in the photo is NOT for sale. I was just trying to show that he is the size of a build a bear's head (the head isn't even fully stuffed either)
