I Found my first Yorkie puppy through a newspaper ad> It was a elderly couple who lived in farm country out in the middle of nowhere. I drove and met her, the parents , babies. She only had one female , and it was the first litter of only 3 babies. I begged the owner to hold the female.
So far so good. There have Absolutely no problems with Suzi, and she has be delightful. A wonderful little Yorkie . Perhaps I was lucky. But, not a day goes by that I feel blessed to have my Suzi who has now been with us a year. She is a silvery blue and full of life, energy and swetness. A very smart, clever , doll baby. Ladymom, I am unsure if i was terribly wrong for going to the newspaper , however, I do know that I made the right choice buying my Yorkie who is perfect in my eyes, with No health problems whatsoever> No all news paper sellers are terrible babckyard sellers of puppies, wanting to make a quick buck, who have not bred their puppies well , not taken their pups to the vet, given vaccines, left the pups and parents outside, ECT.
It is always imperative for the buyer to do ask QUESTIONS, lots of questions, before ever taking a new puppy home. Play with a puppy , spend time talking to the owner, and loomk over the puppy carefully. Take the puppy to your vet ASAP as soon as you bring home the pup. THat is what I did
My breeder also was very good and wanted to keep in touch, left the communication open with me. ANd made certain that I had not been around other dogs , exposing her puppies to anything .
