THANK YOU for the reply, much appreciated! I have some of that info already. She says that the mama is 6 years old and this is her 4th and last litter.
She denies any health issues on either side. I haven't asked for references but that's a great suggestion. I did meet someone who has two of her Yorkies and she gave an outstanding recommendation (and this was how i heard about this breeder.) The breeder has invited and encouraged me to visit but she's a 4+ hour drive away (one way) and I work every day.
Does anyone have any additional questions I should ask specific to health testing? Specific questions regarding which tests have been done, etc? I'm still unsure as to exactly what is available and recommended for the breed.
Thank you!
