| Please help! Is a puppy Yorkie Supposed to look like this? Hi everyone, Could anyone please tell me whether the colours on this yorkie puppy looks ok and whether his features are ok? I currently live in HK and its very hard to find a healthy puppy or one that is bred properly. I have had many friends buy puppies from pet shops, bring them home and they die a week or a month later. So, I'm kind of skeptical about what the pet shop owners tell me. thanks! |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Is he from a pet shop? I would not buy him then. Pet shop puppies are from Puppy Mills. If you don't know what a puppy mill is it is a place where female dogs are bred every heat cycle until they aren't 'good' anymore. Then they are usually killed, or left to die. The dogs there get very little food and water and are not taken care of. By the way, welcome to YT! I'm sure you'll love it here! :Wavey:

| Yes he is from a pet shop, but in HK, even if you go directly to a breeder thats where the pet shops get the puppies from too. So basically there isn't much choice |

| Welcome to YT Mki!!! The picture looks like a Yorkie. Can you take him/her to a Vet to have a health check? It's sad it hard for you to find healthy puppies there. I wish you the best of luck in finding a healthy furbaby. Please keep us posted. Again, welcome!!!

| Thanks for all your help! I'm so glad I found this web site!! It really depends, they have these mini yorkies that grow up to be around 3 pounds which cost around $1,200 USD. The one in the pic that I posted cost around $600 USD. But its really sad, cuz I bought a yorkie puppy last week, then took her to the vet before I brought her home to make sure she was healthy. But the doctor said she already has a cough and could be something more serious and suggested that I get a refund. Its actually quite common for pet shops in HK to sell puppies that are already sick, thats why many of them die after people take them home, so its pretty sad here. |

| Yorkies are very expensive in HK, especially if they're really small. They can also go up to $2,000 USD , just for a house pet depending where you buy them. But, as I know, there is ONE store that breeds their Yorkies, good quality, but are very particular of who they sell to, which is good. Welcome to YT!!!!
