| Good luck in your search! I'm sure someone will pipe in with a breeder recommendation. You could check the YTCA site.

YT 1000 Club Member | Hi, if you are interested in adopting you can check out Florida Yorkie Rescue. Kit and her husband does wonders caring/vetting/fostering those babies until they are ready to be placed into permanent homes. Good luck in finding your new baby...

| They had a puppy a couple months back I contacted them about and was informed he was $600, which I was rather shocked at the amount for a 2 y/o that was healthy so I asked the simple question of could you explain why that amount and got ignored which rather turned me off. If you can give me a value reason I can understand BUT if you are just out for a profit then no I can't and if you can't answer that question then that leads me to believe profit... Sorry if that is rude of me to say but it is how I feel!!

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Sometimes rescues price the healthly puppies high to help offset the amount that they are spending for the older or sick dogs.

| $600 for a healthy young 2 year old is not a lot. Look at reputable breeder prices and the life span...how many hundred per year should be taken off? In my area $800 for a special needs adult is normal...retired altered breeding dogs also go for that amount.

| Reputable rescues spend so much in gas, car wear and tear, vet bills, special food, some toys & things to keep the poor little dogs busy & entertained, crates, car seats, harnesses, leashes, beds, other supplies, websites, administration, cleaning supplies, medicine and upkeep, they really have to charge what they can get on Yorkies and the more popular breeds or they can't stay in business.

| I respect those answers and if the lady would have nicely explained that then I would be ok with it, but instead you act nasty and rude then ignore my question just leads me to believe you are being shady. Here I can get an 8 to 12 week AKC puppy for $600 to $700 which is what the rescue charges and CKC like Guinness is $450 to $500

| Rescues don't make money. That $600 might help one other dog get vetting, but it wouldn't cover much. Many of the dogs at rescues need thousands of dollars in surgeries and care, so $600 really isn't much. Honestly, a 2 year old for $600 is a great deal. I really hope you reconsider rescuing. There are so many dogs out there that need homes...

Looking for another dog can be so frustrating and you get your hopes raised so many times and then dashed time and time again. It's not for the faint of heart, is it?

| No not at all, in fact I am headed into the office right now and silently hoping that little girl I was suppose to get did something "terrier" last night and they changed their mind about keeping her
