I want to buy a yorkie :)
There is nothing that I want more than a babydoll yorkie. I have looked everywhere, and everything is beyond expensive. I can only afford $300 or less. I am from Virginia too, so can anyone help me out?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Keep in mind that expensive dogs are generally expensive because they are well bred, and I do not recommend getting one that is not because doing so is only encouraging people to breed less than ideal dogs, which puts dogs into shelters where they are euthanized. Be careful though, Yorkies are popular dogs, so some breeders think that they can charge a lot, even if the dogs aren't very good.
Try looking through a rescue--I think everyone should have a rescued dog or two... they are fantastic!
You might also try contacting a breeder to see if they have any adults for sale. The adults are generally cheaper, and you already know how big they are! My roommate has a 5 lb yorkie that she got for free. She couldn't be shown because she had an underbite and she never grew out of her puppy colors.
One last idea--contact the veterinarians in the area and let them know that you are in the market for a Yorkie. Vets are often the first to know when a family decides to give up a dog, but generally don't have the resources to find the dog a home. You might find that perfect little Yorkie this way and prevent a sweet little dog from going to the shelter at the same time!

Try looking in the papers they sometimes have dogs in there.

I have 2 of them and you will adore them
regardless of their size! Mine aren't
real little but I got them for free. It
helps that my Dad and step mom raised them,
however, because they weren't going to be
the tiny ones that people will pay big bucks
for, I got them for nothing.
The real small ones are expensive. Everyone
wants them. They are also more easily injured
because people like to carry them in bags &
things. Most dogs don't like that and will
wiggle themselves out causing head injuries
and death. So don't do that!
Big Yorkies are actually pretty rare. I
suggest you find a breeder in your area.
Google for "Yorkie breeders in name of towns
close to you". Then contact them and offer
a good home to any they get that won't sell.
That could be their size, Maybe they are flop
earred and not show dog material. Many will
give those free to loving homes, or for the
cost of shots etc.
Good luck, they are awesome dogs!
