most breeders unless they are top of the line show breeders don't really care what happens after they sell a puppy, and also the majority don't health test even though I know we all wish they would. the pup looks cute, IMHO that is a great age to get a yorkie puppy because you can tell a lot about how it will look as an adult and health wise it has gotten over some of the issues dealing with a very young puppy. If you like the look of the puppy from the photos drive to see it, play with it, interact with it, but see if the person will take a post dated check by a day or two and have the puppy checked over at a vet, and I don't mean just a basic puppy visit, but a full blood work up so you can see things like liver and kidney functions. I hate to say it but buying a purebred, a mix, or adopting a rescue is often a crap shoot. Yes, yes I know it's ideal to go to a breeder that has run all the right genetic tests and does not sell for a profit and so on...... but even then several health issues can come up, I know because I bought a $2,000 dog from a show breeder that wound up with several expensive health problems including lympantasia, or how ever it is spelled. good luck with what ever you decide |
