it depends on what YOU are looking for in the first place....... is he strictly pet? or were you going to show/ breed him or her? DO you live in teh kind of household that can work with a teeny yorkie or are you the kind of household that wants a larger yorkie that is less of a "stepping on" hazard?
When you figure out what you want.....take youre time and look around for breeders in your area..... you can look in teh newspaper, the pennysaver, the internet...... if talking to a breeders and you feel uncomfortable at any time about the interaction DONT BUY A PUPPY FROM THEM, some breeders will take advantage of you and not bat an eye, you should take your time in looking to get the best price you can get as well as teh best puppy you can get, getting the first puppy you look at isnt really the way to go...
Beware of puppies that are lathargic, have a cough, "hand shy"..... if you do a search online, there are plenty of sites on "temperment testing" ..... look inside the puppies mouth to see if teh gums are pink (that is a good sign of a healthy pup)..... i
if you are looking for a smaller yorkie, be aware of any potential vet costs may be associated with them, sometimes breeders misrepresent the breed and sell what they call "teacups" which in actuality are just runts or undersized yorkies..... sometimes (many people on this site have smaller yorkies and have had NO problems, but, just keep this in mind as a precaution) the smaller the yorkies can be unhealthy, they can have hypoglycemia and other medical problems as well as be VERY fragile.....
lol......... now after this plethora of info, what kind of yorkie are you looking for? |
