| Yorkie wanted in Ala/Ga Hi, My husband and I are from Columbus, Ga (on the Ala/Ga line) and we are looking for a yorkie pup! We aren't particular on the color or sex. We are a military couple who can only afford to spend about $400. We have a boxer mix named TK. He is a small dog in a big dog"s body (75lbs)!! He is anything but an alfa male! All the small dogs and even cats push him around. We baby-sat a friend's 5lb puppy for a few weeks and TK was soo loving and gentle with her. It was precious! By the end of the 3 wks, that puppy owned him! I am 4'9" and 85lbs, so when TK crawls into my lap (he thinks he's a tiny lap dog) he squishes me!! I would love to have a pup more my size! If anyone knows where we could find a yorkie pup for under $500 dollars, please let us know. Thanks Ya'll! Angie & Jon P.S. Is it just me, or are there A LOT of puppy scammers out there!? I keep getting extremely shady replies (mostly from "pastors", "christian crusaders" in Nigeria). |

| welcome to YT! I wish I could help you out, but there are a lot of great people here on YT and I'm sure you will find the perfect baby. And yes there are a TON of scammers, be careful with any breeder out of the states. It is best if you can visit the breeder, so you know everything is clear.

| Thanks Megan! Yes we have decided to only buy from someone in driving distance! We want to be able to visit where the puppies live. We figure anyone shipping pups could steal pics off a website. In fact, a friend of ours drive 4hrs 1-way to pick up his bulldog pup, but the family said they lived out in the boondocks so they wanted to meet him in town instead of him trying to find their house. He'd already paid the deposit based on web pics. When he got there, the pups were covered in fleas, didn't have the papers and vet records promised, and it didn't look anything like a bulldog! He felt so bad for it, that he took the puppy anyway. It ended up being emaciated from fleas, under weight from worms, and had a heart murmur. She's doing quite well now btw. Lesson learned! We are making a house call! |

| I bought my puppy from a breeder not far from Rome, GA just over the Alabama border. I will get the name and number for you tonight. She had a lot of puppies and she didn't have a website. I got her number from someone who had bought 2 puppies from her years ago. Her prices are very reasonable and even though I paid $900 for my little male (he is very small) she might take less for one of her bigger or older puppies. My puppy did have coccidia (intestinal parasite) when I got him but the vet said it is pretty common coming from a kennel or a pet store. It cleared right up with medication. He is now 5 months old and so far has had no health problems. |

| Do you know the name of the church? It would be so nice to be able to let the pastor or elders know what good works their young people are doing. |

| Breeder in Alabama I got my latest yorkie from Stateline Kennels, Katie Renfroe (256) 475-3263. You might give her a call and see what she has. Her daughter also breeds yorkies so they usually have quite a few puppies between the two of them. Good luck and let me know if you find one. |
