We are planning to buy our first Yorkie puppy in a few months. I found a vet in our area who breeds Yorkies, and he's willing to sign a health guarantee/contract, so I feel comfortable buying from him.
However, I would like to hear suggestions on what we should look for when choosing a puppy. I'm sure Yorkie owners will have lots of information to offer!
I have some specific questions:
1. What size is too small for an adult Yorkie? I have heard that very small Yorkies have serious health problems. The mother of the puppy we are going to get weighs a little over 5 pounds, the father just under 4 pounds.
2. I've heard there are specific diseases/illnesses associated with the Yorkie breed. Have many of you experienced these problems?
3. When I examine the puppies, what specifically should I look for?
Thanks!
