Thank you for your replies, great information.

Verbena: 18.) Can I have copies of the health clearances? Many breeds are prone to certain genetic conditions. The breeder should offer health clearances--documentation from an independent agency, such as the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals or the Canine Eye Registration Foundation--that the parent and grandparent dogs were tested for hereditary problems.
This is what I was looking for - which genetic health clearances do breeders usually have for yorkies? Which specific ones should I ask her for?

Gemy: Thank you for the links I will be sure to look those up.
