| Looking for a female Yorkie puppy in Virginia Hello everyone. I am looking for a reputable Yorkie breeder, in the Virginia, Maryland region to adopt a female Yorkie puppy from. I have spoken with a few so far, but had a few questions that I was hoping someone out there could help me out with. We are looking for a female between 4 and 5 ponds, with AKC papers, and champion bloodlines if possible. We are not looking to show her, or breed her. Friends of ours purchased a "Yorkie" from a backyard breeder, that came with AKC papers. The dog ended up weighing over 20 pounds , and looked more like a Silky then a Yorkie. We do not want the same thing to happen to us. So.... 1. How much can I expect to pay. One breeder quoted us $3500, while another quoted $1800. We want a quality dog, but do not want to be ripped off either. 2. Can anyone recommend a breeder? Preferably within driving distance. Thanks in advance for any advice!!! |

| You're in luck! Some of the top breeders/exhibitors in the country are in your area. They will be showing in Fredericksburg next week and the Yorkshire Terrier Club of the Nation's Capital has their match and meeting this Sunday in Md. If you are interested in a pup from Caraneal, Tiffany, or Thimbletip and would like to contact them let me know.

| were you able to find a good breeder? and, if you don't mind me asking, who's the breeder that quoted you $3500? i was quoted the same amount (we're in the same area) and you mentioning being ripped off made me a tadbit wary. |

| Royal Puppy Paws This is her site, I am paying $2000 for a female, which is a bit steep, I know. She is NOT show quality. I think $3500 is the price for a show quality puppy. |

| Yeah, her name is Nina she is the same one you spoke with? She did come down in price after I insisted it was just WAY too high. We have not recieved the puppy yet, she is only around 7 weeks now. Are you going to get a puppy from her? |

| Yea I decided to go ahead and stick with what I know. I've probably been talking to her on and off for about 2 years and after the incident I ran in with my first baby, price is nowhere nearly as important as health. |

| I agree with you about price not being the top priority. I had a bad experience also with another breeder. I think Nina is a very good breeder, she made me feel at ease with the process, and takes time to address your concerns, I also LOVE how she sends pictures of the puppy to keep you updated! Congratulations! I know I can not wait to pick up my new baby! |
