| Where have you looked? How's the search going? Are you looking for a purebred AKC registered or is a mix ok with you? Need some details if you'd like some help finding one. |

| Here's another link: https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search...e&distance=100 Also, you can visit local animal shelters or visit their direct websites.... The pups there seem to be less expensive than the rescues.... We have a rescue but did pay quite a bit for him... might seem cold to say but it needs saying occasionally>>>> for a few dollars more or if I had been less impatient, we could have had an AKC registered puppy.... Don't misunderstand that, I/we love Zippy, he's a great dog and I'm really glad we have him.... but a rescue is not always a true rescue and even though I knew that I still bought Zippy from a rescue. Just be aware of it. |

| I am wondering.....and I may be really ignorant here but I am wondering.....wouldnt a larger dog be more beneficial as an assist dog....Yorkies are great for emotional support, but they are awfully small for an assist dog?? I am thinking a dog with more size, say a beagle, or even a poodle or a cocker....... has more size on it and yet they are precious and loving and attentive. I am just not sure how much a tiny little Yorkie under 4 lbs, would be as far as help/assistance.....you certainly do not need one to get tangled up underfoot and cause you to fall..... Those other breeds will be less expensive too....and that includes less maintenance costs..... Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 08-06-2016 at 01:11 PM. |

| I am assuming you mean emotional support? Purchasing a well bred dog is cheaper in the long run. Fewer health issues. I had one Yorkie was was beautiful but not as well bred - this was before being as well educated - when the health hit at about age 5 it was very, very costly. My current Yorkie was a top,of the line breeder pup and is the healthiest dog I have ever had. So I'm prone to thing you pay at one end or the other. I'm also a fane of health contracts, DNA, and bile acid testing. Good luck in your search. I can hear that you are a Yorkie lover. You could look for a YTCA breeder in your area. Often they has pet quality pups they like to find good placement for.

You can check with these to see where their price point is to see if that is a feasible option. The "i don't have much money" statement doesn't bode well though. BUT, it never hurts to check! Dog Breeders Map List- The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America | |

| Just checked petfinder for within 100 miles of your zip code... there's 43 to choose from... keep checking that and local shelters... you'll find a pup that melts your heart, start visiting animal shelters... I bet you can't go 6 visits without finding a dog to give a home to. |

| Also, note they discount to rescues so if you desire a yorkie you'll probably need to see if they have a list to get on... with a yorkie rescue not far from you, they might automatically earmark yorkies for them UNLESS you can get in front of the rescue for an adoption. |
