OK let me try this again.

Ask your breeder what tests were ran on the parents of your puppy, like bile acid test. You should have a list of questions for your breeder such as how many times she breeds this puppys mother and how often (every heat?). Has she ever had any congenital problems with past litters, hypoglycemia, liver shunt, luxating patellas, etc.? Can you see both parents, are they on site? Do you have to sign a spay/neuter contract or is the puppy already altered? How long is the health guarantee and what if there is a problem? The breeder should also have a list of questions for you, too, such as: are there children or other pets in your home? How long will the puppy be alone during the day if at all? Do you have a vet reference? Are you familiar with yorkies and toy breed dogs? This is completely normal and expected so don't be embarrassed to ask a ton of questions. This helps you and the breeder to ensure you a healthy puppy and to assure her that the puppy is going to a good home.
