    You're getting some ridiculous answers here - but I quite agree with Nekkid Booty - oops, sorry, BYBs breed nothing but crap. And user 'reputable breeders breed crap' is a silly person we've been wishing will go away for some time now - they deliberately breed sick mutts and yell at all of us for encouraging responsible breeding.

    I LIVED in Old Town and that pet shop on Wells (http://www.oldtownchicago.org/members/collar-and-l... that sells puppies is an absolute NO-NO!! ANY pet store that SELLS (adopting out is quite a different thing altogether) dogs gets them from puppy mills. http://stoppuppymills.org/

    So unless you want to drain your bank account to try and fruitlessly fix a genetically sick dog that was deliberately bred by a money-hungry person/operation, your best bet is to visit a responsible breeder via the breed club or consider adopting and saving a life.

    And of course, as always, check http://www.petfinder.org/ for Yorkshire terriers available for adoption. You can search by zip code.

    Here are Yorkies closest to my old zip code - 60614:

    I hope this is helpful! : ) Good luck in your search.

    EDIT: Also, how old is your 'babygirl'? A terrier in particular is not good around children unless properly raised and socialized with them. Terriers are VERY high energy, can be snappy, and like to dig and destroy things - just an FYI.

    This is a shelter site in Illinois, http://dogtime.com/shelters/US-IL

    There are lots of dogs ready for adoption. Hope you find a Yorkie pup.

    Im not sure if they have them there, but you could check the Pet Store on Wells in Old Town. They have a lot of puppies on the top floor. Otherwise keep checking the anti-cruelty center.

    try putting a ad in your local paper.don't buy a pup from a show breeder or you will pay more in vet bills that you gave for your pup.
