Are your dogs raised inside the home or in kennels.
Are they AKC registered
Are there any health conditions that are associated wsith the parti yorkies that are not common with the traditional yorkie
What, if any conditions have your dogs been tested for
Do you have a health guarantee
Are yorkies good with kids
Have they had their shots
Do you believe in deworming puppies that do not have worms
do you own both of the parents
Can I meet both of the parents
The list is long
is there anything particuilar that you are asking about. I'm sure I have probably missed a fews, that I will be bashed for.
Oh Ya how much do they cost? How big will they get? |
This wasn't a trick question, and you have offered many excellent suggestions. I'm referring to specific questions one should ask a Parti breeder, you have said many times that there are some poor parti breeders, and I thought you could offer tips on how to select a responsible parti breeder. In this post you indicate you interviewed three parti breeders. What was the question you asked to inquire about the deafness? You say you found no incidence of deafness, what question did you ask? Do you mean to say you should only ask, "Are there any health conditions that are associated wsith (sic) the parti yorkies"

I will have my dogs tested as I see fit, and I will assume all risks and responsibilty for any deaf dogs that I might produce.
Thank you very much for all of the research that you have done on my behalf. |
There are generic questions we should ask of every breeder, but there are certain questions, one should ask relating to that specific breed, and since a parti is not part of the standard, it would seem that there would be specific questions to ask the parti breeder. This would seem even more important if purchasing the dog as breeding stock.
Concerning the question, "Are there any health conditions that are associated wsith (sic) the parti yorkies"?
What is the answer a person should hear to help them decide?
