I don't know which part you have concerns with.

1. Make sure the breeder is safe and trustworthy. I'm sure there are some good posts on that subject. I got my Yorkie from a great breeder, so I avoided that hassle.

2. Anybody can be raise a good Yorkie (even I can!) Just pay attention to the foods they can and cannot have. Reinforce good behavior - ignore bad behavior. Socialize them - let them meet new dogs. Give them time and attention. I'm sure there are really great posts one each of these subjects.

I'm sure you will make a great Yorkie owner!

Good luck!
