Small dogs are all the rage for those that live the glamorous life. The smaller the dog, the more fashionable it seems. One of the breeds that have become so popular is Yorkshire Terriers.

But most Yorkies for sale come from inhumane puppy mills. Because of their small size and the demand for them, they are one of the more popular breeds found in these horrible places. Puppy mills are factory farms for dogs, which aren't given proper veterinary treatment, kept in stacked wire crates and are immediately shot, electrocuted or drowned when their short lives are used up in puppy making, which takes up a lot of energy. Those Yorkshire Terrier puppies don't sound quite so cute now, do they?

The bad news is that most places that advertise Yorkies for sale get their puppies from these inhumane puppy mills. These places include all pet stores and all Internet ads that will ship the puppy to you and do not ask you any questions other than your method of payment. Often, there will be signs in front of farms saying "Yorkies for Sale" and you will walk directly into a puppy mill. Please report them to the proper authorities if you come across such a foul place.

The good news is that Yorkies for sale can be found from licensed breeders all across the country. If you specifically want a purebred Yorkshire Terrier puppy, these are the best places to go to. These breeders only have a few Yorkies for sale each year, as their kennels and breeding operations are run out of their homes. The fewer the number of dogs in a kennel, the more individual care they get.

Although technically animal shelters and dog rescue places don't have Yorkies for sale, they do require anyone adopting a dog to pay an adoption fee. So, in the minds of some people, that means they have Yorkies for sale.

Yorkshire Terrier rescues often get older puppies because that's when the reality of caring for the puppy sets in. May people who buy them sadly haven't a clue about what Yorkshire Terrier puppy care is all about.

In conclusion, if you want to find happy, healthy Yorkies for sale, then you are best off skipping all pet stores and all Internet ads. Go to American Kennel Club or state licensed dog breeders and to animal shelters.

But the adoption fee is still a lot less than paying a licensed breeder for a purebred puppy. Expect to handle all transportation details yourself and to pay a fee of a few hundred dollars.
