| Contracts when buying a yorkie? I'll be getting a girl for a companion for my male, i'm getting her from the same breeder i purchased keno, my question is should i ask for a health guarantee? I didn't with keno but what concerns me is that she said she is tiny and the parents r tiny 4 pounds each which concerns me because i know sometimes smaller dogs=more health problems? should i ask for a health guarantee? i'm planning on taking her to the vet as soon as i get her. |

| I really would have to ask why this breeder is breeding such small dogs? I would certainly want some kind of guarantee in writing.

| How long ago is it since you got your little boy? How did you find the breeder, did you check her out? (I'm on the east coast, so probably won't be back on until tomorrow)

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I'm confused. Does the new pup share a grandsire with Keno or is it the new pup's dam and sire share the same grandsire (in breeding) ?

| I would definitely ask for a contract. Why didn't you get one for your first puppy? Did your breeder offer it? |

| Are you planning on breeding these two? The parents are small and if your girl is "tiny" I wouldn't breed them. If your breeder was really reputable, you shouldn't have to ask for a health contract, she would already have one! Does she do all the proper testing, etc..? If she is breeding small dogs and trying to breed for tiny dogs, that is a BAD sign!
