The limited AKC registration and spay/neuter contract is a good thing.
I think you're off to a good start. You will want to visit the breeder and view the parents of the puppies and confirm all of the information that is on the website in person. |
Well I am not satisfied with the health warranty - LETHAL is too restrictive a term and many genetic defects are not ddx'd until after one year old. I also do not like to be told that I have to spay/neuter by 9months old.. I as the owner will make the decision in conjunction with my vet as to the best time for my dog to undergo this surgery.
Otherwise the website is not bad - and I do not know this Yorkie Breeder personally
