| Looking to get a Yorkie around Easter We're thinking about getting a Yorkie pup around Easter. I check the local classifieds every so often and most of the Yorkies for sale are ready now. A few offer to let you pick a Yorkie and leave a deposit but with the understanding the pup won't be available for several weeks up to 2 months. I'd prefer to put a deposit down and wait as my perception is I'll be able to get the best of that litter. For some reason I always worry about the last pup to be sold from a litter thinking I'm getting the one nobody else wanted. I'm really confused as to how to go about this. I'll drive around and look at some litters and would like to see both Mom and Dad before picking a pup but am not sure how to best go about this with the idea that I want a very healthy dog with a good family health history but also want it to be really cute and the right coloring. I like the black/tan dogs and not so much the silver colors. Any thoughts or suggestions? |

| re:yorkie for easter As a person that does sometimes breed, I can tell you that I do not allow people to drive around and look at other litters and then come here bringing God knows what germs and exposure to disease. I get to know potential buyers pretty well before they ever see a pup. I do send pictures and have many phone conversations so that I can match the personality of the owner with the personality of the puppy. My primary concern is my puppy and the home that it will have. I only breed about one litter per year and so far this has worked well for me. I do my best to educate potential buyers on the breed in general and what to look for in a responsible breeder. I do health testing and encourage people to ask for that wherever they buy from. It is important to have a breeder that youre comfortable with and that will be there for you for the life of the dog. You are talking about a committment that lasts an average of 15 years and the breeder should be very concerned about your ability to live up to that commitment. No breeder can say that you will never have a problem. It is how they will handle any potential problem that matters most. JMO ruth |
