A while ago there was a great thread about what to look for when purchasing a puppy. I've been looking for that thread for hours and I cannot find it. Well, I'm in the market for a new puppy and would really appreciate some help. When I bought Desi I had no idea what to look for, but I was extremely lucky to find a wonderful breeder. Unfortunately, she is not breeding Yorkies for a while so I will be looking at several puppies from different breeders. What should I be looking for??

Is there a way to tell if a puppy will have a cottony coat?
Is a "Roach back" apparent in a puppy?
Desi is a (somewhat) darked faced Yorkie (which I love, she is so cute) but now I would like a lighter faced Yorkie. Is there a way to tell in a puppy?
Is a thick coat obvious in a puppy?

Thank you
