We're eagerly awaiting more comments on the pics...might be road-tripping tommorrow am, depending on the votes of confidence or thumbs down y'all give me! 
I've been surfing your forum...have enjoyed it! What a nice group & some gorgeous yorkies! I've seen some pics of several other really light yorkies in the process, similar to this coat...I don't want to offend a soul, really, but...do they meet the breed standard? From what I've read in the past, sometimes other genetic health defects go hand in hand with a coat that doesn't meet the breed standard...like chocolate, parti, golden, etc I just want to avoid having our heart broken, especially my daughter's...and...hate to sound awful, but, it's also just a lot of dough! I'd like to get a "good" one...meeting the breed standard...if we're going to fork out over a thousand bucks. We have no intentions of becoming big breeders (guess that's obvious by my lack of knowledge)...but we would like to breed the one we get, when she's old enough, in a couple years. I don't want to breed/sell puppies that don't meet the standard, that might get ill or pass on genetic faults.
I'm still learning...so if I'm off base on anything, just fill me in! |
Welcome to YT! And, IF you are seriously considering any pup, it DEFINITELY calls for a road trip if possible at all. You should see the pups and parents in person, get a feel for the breeders, and ask LOTS of questions. Notice if the breeder is particularly interested in what kind of owner YOU will be, or just happy to get the pup into a $$$ exchange.
You may change your mind about breeding at all. Most of us, who thought we would "just breed once for a puppy" have since learned better. Unless you're willing to possibly loose the mom for a litter, it's not a wise idea. So much can go wrong. Better to just save your pennies again and buy from a reputable breeder when you get puppy fever again
.
Hopefully, one of our breeders here, will be along to give you more definitive opinions regarding the pix.
Good luck in your search. Your Yorkie is out there
