Hello,
I am about to buy a yorkshire terrier. Here are some photos of him:

I am fairly new to buying yorkies and actually this will be my second dog. The first time I was burned by a breeder who sold me a mixed dog. So, I could use your opinions, does this yorkie look purebred? Does he look like a good choice?

The breeder has AKC registration papers for him. What do you think?
Thanks!

I forgot to to mention he is 11 weeks in the photos taken in the home gym area.

What a cutie!!! Congrats!!!

He is a cutie. Did you check the health gurantee the breeder gives? You can ask her what health testing she has done on her lines. There is a lot of info on here about picking the right breeder that would be helpful to you. Hopefully you will get a lot of good,positive advice.

He's adorable, and appears to be "home raised" which is a good thing. But a picture does not give enough information to know whether a dog is purebred or healthy. Your safest option is to visit the breeder. You need to see the puppies' parents and get information from the breeder about how she selects dogs for breeding. Don't just trust the pictures from the breeder.

He is such a cutie!

AlicetheYorkie · 05-13-2011, 06:58 AM

Very cute! i'm no expert, but he looks 100% Yorkie to me

lovespandp · 05-13-2011, 07:26 AM

He is a little doll, but as Patti said, make sure you do your homework!

KendraE · 05-13-2011, 07:31 AM

He looks 100% yorkie...but like the others said...visit the breeder...ask LOTS of questions!!!

AllDogBoots · 05-13-2011, 07:53 AM

I think he's adorable! But you'd better be a heck of a lot more confident in the breeder before purchasing a pup from her.

What a precious little thing! He looks all Yorkie to me!

Here is a thread that has lots of useful information about how to pick a breeder. I think everyone should read this before picking a breeder, I wish I had! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...e-breeder.html

He's adorable! He looks like he'll be on the bigger side. Where did you find this breeder? Are they local and have you visited them in person? Good luck!

He is very cute. I love the brown fringe around his ears. Buster had that and it was one of the reasons I fell in love with him. Ask the breeder if they have done any testing for hereditary issues. If not ask if the mother, father, or litters have had luxating patella, liver shunt, collapsed trachea, or other issues. California does have puppy lemon laws but it is very heart breaking when you have all ready fallen in love and your puppy gets sick. I wish you and this little cutie all the best.
