| It's a darn good thing I do not drink, and that I quit using drigs and sniffing glue. Darn encephalitis! I know what I want to say, just can't seem to get the brain housing group and fingers in sync! |

| Quitting the drigs might have helped, but maybe you should take it easy on the drugs!

| I'm sorry - you're right Jodi. OP please forgive me, I just had to give Steve a hard time. He did give you some great advice though.

| Steve is right - ytca.org and look for the breeder referral page to find reputable breeders in your state. |

| I looked on the ytca.com. It just has alot of names and numbers. It doesn't tell me who has Yorkies. If they don't have one now and will have one later. I'm am willing to wait. Do you think its ok for me just to start calling all these numbers? I had waited to get a yorkie for 6 years so expensive but finally financially able to get, Bitty at 6 months He is traditional not carrier. I took my time and looked for about 10 months to get him. I was told he would be 4.5 pounds ,but he is a 3.3lbs. Hes 9 months now didn't grow a bit. I know no one can be sure on the size. The lady I bought him from was really nice and I trusted her. I am very happy with my little love bug , He is gold and blue pretty teeth no bits and good posture. I was going to get a yorkie for my daughter 12 year old birthday, but it was yesterday. BTW she is very resposable does all her chores makes straight A's and is great with Bitty. Since it is for my daughter i really wanted to make sure it was 4.5 to 5 pounds. I'm not seared she will hurt her. Just want to be safe. So anyways I really don't want it to take another 10 months to find a yorkie. But I know what I want. I waited 6 years and 10 months for first one guess it wont hurt to wait again. Just so hard. lol. Thanks for the info. |

| Yes, you can go ahead and just call them. I have found reputable breeders to be very kind ppl. If they have none available, I'm sure they would offer you suggestions of where to turn. There are reputable breeders who do not have web sites, so don't let that throw you. Some have, some don't. They are breeding for quality in their line, not to sell puppies as a way they make their living. |

Outstanding advice. Call them. Most will not have any now, but perhaps in months or a year, and they know other folks that you can call. Buy the Breeder first, then the pup. | |

| To be honest with you I really don't know. I know my daughter wants one for her birthday for now. I do have two sisters, two nieces, and three daughters. All love yorkies. I have looked in to it alot and I'm really not sure. My husband has a 4 year old chihuahua she had two litters I helped her with. She is fixed and fat on my bed now. Everyone says Yorkies are so different. I would have to do alot of talking with a vet first and let him see what he thought about the two of them together and alot more research if I did. I'm a stay at home mom of 4 kids, 2 dogs, a blue parrotlet bird, and a fish. We have had are bird for 2 years. Hiddi 4 years. Bitty 4 months I think. And the fish well we buy a new one at lest once a month. Kids are getting big. Don't want moma around all the time. Bitty don't mind. lol. Thanks for all the info guys. Hope to get my daughter her Yorkie soon. |

| I could tell by your posts that you were " thinking" about breeding them, with no experience and no mentor to guide you , you may have to look outside of ytca , most breeders on thier website work VERY LONG AND HARD to perfect their lines and do not sell their dogs without a spay/ neuter contract. Make sure you read up on breeding, I would NEVER want to do it , its just amazing what these woman do and the cost that can/ may occur. These are tiny dogs many of them have complications at birth , 2000.00 c sections and sick puppies that need alot of vetting. My hat is off to those who breed.
