| Older yorkie Hi Everyone Calleigh is my first "Yorkie" and because of her Yorkshire Terriers are now my favorite breed of dog. I have an opportunity to adopt an older dog who is around 5 and has been a breeder and right now expecting her last litter of puppies. She is a beautiful 4 lb. Yorkie and very, very healthy and a former champion. What should I do to guarantee that she is healthy, etc???? She has a very sweet nature and loves to cuddle and be loved and I really, really want to adopt her and take her into my home. LB |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | It sounds great. Hopefully she was breeding healthy dogs as she was breeding and showing. I would ask to get her health records turned over to you or your vet. I hope you get her and can't wait to see pictures!!

Sorry, I guess my wording was a bit off. I was told by the breeder that she was healthy, etc. I was just wondering if I should also get a health check at my own vet before I make the deal. LB | |

The breeder is a 6 hour drive from me that is why I want to ask questions, but I think I already love this wee dog. LB | |

| I am not sure if the breeder would allow you to take her dog to your vet but she should be willing to let you speak to hers. If he says that she is healthy and has been well taken care of then I do not see a problem with taking her. I would also ask her to make sure that she gives you all of the vet record so that you can give them to your vet. You will need to either have her sign a medical release and pick them up OR have her give them to you with payment. I agree with TLC that she will need to be spayed and a dental can be done at the same time.
