This morning the breeder was asking me if there was a certain puppy that I wanted to claim as mine. I don't feel comfortable making that decision right now and told her I'd like to wait to see them in person. I've been promised first pick, since I put my deposit down first and have been in contact with her since 3 weeks before they were born.
How do I decide? What should I look for? I tend to be drawn to the darker Yorkies. Is there a way to tell which ones will be darker? ((YES LOOK FOR THE ONE THAT IS DARK GOLD NOT LIGHT TAN ))With that said, I'm not interested in getting the smallest one, as size won't be a factor in my decision. I really just want it to be healthy and of good temperment. If it were a sure thing, I'd take a purple one if it were healthy, happy and good fit for our family!  I know whichever one we pick, we'll love it.
What age should the puppy be when I make my final decision?((PLEASE 12 WKS)) I can see them in person weekend after next. (they will be 4 weeks old then)
There's a 1 year health guarantee on the puppies.  ((GREAT))
Thanks for any tips or pointers you can give me  |
SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING ELSE IN ORDER
IF ONE PARENT IS LIGHT AND ONE IS DARK LOOK FOR THE PUP WITH THE DARKEST GOLD TONE AND THAT COLOR SHOULD STAY DARK AND LOOK FOR THE GOLD HAIRS ON TOP OF THE HEAD WHEN THE HAIRS ARE PARTED GOOD INDICATION THAT THE PUPS COLOR WILL STAY DARK.((JUST WHAT i HAVE FOUND TO BE TRUE))
MY BOY WAS DARK GOLD AT WHEN I GOT HIM AND HE IS A BEAUTIFUL MEDIUM GOLD NOW AND AT ALMOST 2 JUST LOOKING TO CHANGE TO THE DEEP STEEL BLUE HOPE THIS HELPS
