I believe you should support the best breeders who will sell you a pet! It's not just about the dog you are recieving, you are putting your stamp of approval on this breeders breeding program. Did the breeder tell you about the underbite, or was this something that you discovered? Many breeders wouldn't even know if the dog had an underbite, or be honest with their clients, so it's good if she informed you of this. From my understanding an underbite causes no problems, and some even correct themselves. However, if you are interested in breeding, I've heard that a dog with a bad bite should not be used. The price you mentioned is in the range of accepted prices by breeders who are actively showing their dogs, and is good for a pet quality yorkie. Remember that even good breeders have dogs that are not perfect examples of the breed, and that's where all we pet owners come in, but by supporting good breeders, you are supporting the future of the Yorkshire Terrier. |
