Don't buy from a petstore - find a reputable breeder close to you where you can see the sire and dam of the puppy, the conditions they are raised in etc. A pet store most often doesn't offer any kind of health gaurantee either whereas most breeders will offer a gaurantee of 1 or 2 years. I think even if you go visit a breeder, you'll find a big difference in the appearance of a pet store yorkie and the yorkies of a responsible breeder. I know the yorkies at my petsmart are nowhere near as nice looking as the ones I've seen at breeders. |
