| Questions for Breeders HI! I'm looking to purchase my first Yorkie in April! I think I may have found someone, but I want to make sure I'm asking the right questions. Here is what I've already asked: Do you dock tails and remove dewclaws? Do your puppies come with current shots and worming? Do you have a health guarantee? If so how long? Do you ever ship your babies? Do you litter/pad train the puppies, or are they taken outside? Do you crate train your animals? Are both the mother and the father residing in your home? How old are mother and father? How many other animals do you have? Do your dogs exceed the AKC standard of 7lbs? Do your puppies come with full or limited AKC registration? Are your puppies socialized with children or other animals? Do you show your dogs? Is any deposit refundable if I am unsatisfied after viewing the puppies? At what age are you planning on sending them to their forever homes? Have your past puppies' ears stood erect and do they have rather short snouts? Could you send me some pics of Mom and Dad? How long have you been breeding? What will you be feeding them when they are ready for solid food? Does anyone have any other suggestions of things I should be asking? Are these good questions, and what should I be expecting as a good answer? I'm going to have to drive at least 6hrs each way to pick up my baby, so I want to make sure I have all of my answers before I definitely go with this breeder. I don't want to be too excited just to finally have my baby and jump the gun without all the right information. THANKS IN ADVANCE! |

| hi, you could ask them about the history of the yorkie breed...see how much they know and can tell you about the breed. good breeders have done lots of research on "their" breed...hope this helps |

I added some things or reworded some of the the things you already had. Some questions you should ask... but some of these are things you should go and see. If you already know who this breeder is maybe you should post her name or kennel so that you can find out some first hand information. It might save you alot of heartache or it might just reinforce a good vibe. Either way -- Good Luck! and Congratulations on getting a baby!
