I have been a Southern California breeder of AKC Registered Yorkshire Terriers and Maltese dogs for 20 years. I breed the standard, and others to achieve the tiny baby doll look that is not found in standard representations of these breeds. Most of my Yorkies and Maltese will stay in the 2-5 pound range, rather than the 7 pound commonly found available.
Parents are normally on the premises and most come from champion lines.
Yorkies and Maltese are great for people that might normally be allergic to dogs, as they do not shed. My dogs are very special to me. I am a responsible breeder. I interview you as you should interview a breeder. These little dogs need a lot of love and attention.
