You may want to get on the waiting list for Kimberly's (www.yorkiepassion.com) China litter due soon.

and please don't buy from anyone unethical enough to breed 2.5 and 3 lb dogs.

:aimeeyork Me and my wife are looking to sell our little princess. We do not have the time to watch over her like we should and it is not fair. She is a tiny Yorkie, she weighs in at about 3.5 pounds. She is full grown, 1.5 years old. She has papers, but we never took the time to send in the registration, but you can do so if you wish. She is fixed though, I don't know if that is a concern. Let me know, we are willing to work with the price.

That is pretty darn tiny, and it's unethical to breed to such a small female. I personally would NEVER buy from any breeder who would breed a bitch under 5lbs.
To the Original poster, good luck in your search and welcome to YT.

Adria: Did you see the post on the 3.5 Yorkie?

I second both of these statements. Kimberly is awesome and her babies are beautiful! Look around here on YT and you'll see her being thanked by many people who she's helped out along the way.:thumbup: :)

Welcome to YT and good luck on getting you a lil female. I personally would check out the 1.5 year old !! :wavey:

Hi and welcome to YT! You've definitely come to the right place in your search for a Yorkie. There is so much information and TONS of advice from some really great people here - and the best part about them - they won't steer you wrong:)

I just want to give you my story regarding female vs male since your searching for a female. Up until April of last year, I had always been owned by a female yorkie - never wanted a male, didn't even want to consider it! Boy was I selling myself short and really denying myself, and my family, of the joys of having a male! We had the wonderful fortune to know the "wrong" guy - he should NEVER own animals IMO! He had gotten a male yorkie for his son (who was 10 at the time) - his son was to be responsible for the "dog". I told him if he couldn't keep him, call me - I wanted him. Well, I got the call, went and got him but was a little leary because - yep, he wasn't a female! I had convinced myself I didn't want a male because of their hiking their leg to "mark" their territory and I didn't want sofa, chairs, etc ruined because of it. Having owned a yorkie (or rather owned by one) for 18 years, I thought I knew everything about the breed - WRONG!! I focused all my research on females! I thought, even after having them neutered, they'd still hike but most of them don't. Gage was neutered and since then, he's only hiked his leg a handful of times but they've all been outside, not in my house. He has turned into quite the squatter when he pee pees :D and all is well in my house :)

The point I'm trying to make is this - don't pass up an opportunity to have (and give) unconditional love on a yorkie just because he's male and not female. Gage is the lap dog, kisses giver, and unconditional lover I've always wanted and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. Don't get me wrong, I love my Gabby just as much but each time I look at Gage, I see in him what I've missed for so long by passing on the males of the breed. Best of luck to you in your search. Keep us posted on how it turns out for you

This is an EXCELLENT post!!!! I,too, have always had female dogs, but when I got married and wanted a yorkie oh so badly, hubby said that I could have one only if I got a male. Well, I was SO apprehensive because, like the previous poster said, I did not want him hiking his leg all over my house. Well, I got Hobbs neutered when he was 5.5 months old and he has never even thought about lifting his leg to pee...he is a squatter and always has been. AND the best thing is that he is the most affectionate and sweetest little guy I've ever met. I have a male and a female now and my male is DEFINATELY the lover out of the two. Good luck in your search. Don't pass up an opportunity to get a male. They are WONDERFUL! :D :D :D

Puppy in Arizona
 

Hi, Im new to this too, but my girl is going to have puppies in a few weeks and she is looking so big now. She is sure to have some little ones but since this is her first litter we will have to see. We live near Show Low and have just started breeding. The female is about 5 1/2 pound and the male is about 3 1/2 pounds. Shes our redhead and he is silver. They are AKC and will go (depending on size and sex) between 800m and 1500f. Let me know if interested and we will keep in touch.

Good luck to you in finding the right one!! ;)
