I am also searching for a puppy right now and I found a gorgeous tiny little girl from a show breeder with all the qualities of a beautiful perfect yorkie except an overbite. She was $2800. I couldn't do it. The breeder said it was fine and most people I talked to said the same, that if I wasn't going to show her then it didn't matter, but I have seen older yorkies with this condition and it is not pretty. I researched on the internet and found that since yorkies are already prone to dental problems this only adds to it. The teeth can puncture the soft palate and some may need to be removed and yorkies need to keep as many of their teeth as possible to avoid problems in later life.
As much I wanted that little girl I had to walk away. She sold the next week so she has a good home and I am still waiting for my "dream puppy" but she is out there waiting for me.
Good lick no matter what you decide. |
