Shop for a reputable breeder....shop for your breeder BEFORE you shop for your puppy........when you have found a reputable, caring breeder, devoted to the breed and not turning a quick buck, (off loading puppies before they are 12 weeks old minimum before expense of proper vaccinations is initiated, is a great clue of the quality/devotion/concern of your breeder). Hang around dog shows...get to meet yorkie breeders that show....get properly educated in what a yorkie is SUPPOSED to look like, SUPPOSED to be, SUPPOSED to have as personality traits....when you are thoroughly educated on what you should be looking for in a HEALTHY, WELL BRED yorkie, then you will know what is acceptable and what to look for in your breeder as well as the pup. |
