Just when you think that you've heard everything, someone posts something even more bizarre.

You've already gotten good advice. RUN!

The breeder wants you to care for and pay for the privilege of him using the dog as a stud at his will. A stud for which he will gain the financial benefit. A good breeder would never do that.

The full double row of teeth is a red flag that he isn't giving his dogs proper vet care they require. Puppies do sometimes retain some teeth, but they need to be removed to prevent mal-positioning of the permanent teeth and breakage and abscessing of the deciduous teeth. Many pet owners and their vets opt to do this removal at the same time the pup is spayed/neutered to avoid the pup going under anesthesia more often than necessary. A second row of teeth DOES NOT aid in digestion and the smaller dogs do NOT have a smaller intestinal tract (in relation to their size) than average sized yorkies.

Keep looking. You will find a reputable breeder who would never dream of trying to pass this BS on to you.

A good place for you to expand your search for a slightly older yorkie would be petfinder.com.
