Any reputable show breeder would require a show contract and/or breeding contract. The contract is for your protection too. More important than the show contract is a good health guarantee. Are the dogs all AKC registerable? Does the breeder give full outright registration or do they stay on as a co-owner? What if you get a male and he ends up with one testicle? What if the pup has bad knees or a bad bite? All these things need to be discussed before you buy a pup. If you are buying the puppy as a pet at a pet price then then you would not need a show contract because you are just taking a gamble that the pup might turn out to be show quality. Most reputable breeders would not sell an nice pup with open registration.
Have you ever attended any dog shows? Do you have a good knowledge of the proper structure of the Yorkshire Terrier? It would be great if you could find a show person in your area to help you.
