When the time comes to pick your Yorkie breeder you will want a
criteria of things you should know that will help you decide if the
Yorkie breeder you are dealing with is worth doing business with or
not. Your relationship with your breeder, and your ability to trust
your breeder, are extremely important to your dog’s health so take the
time to do some research and also ask a lot of questions before you
make your decision.
A breeder that is not listed with a national breeder registry is a
breeder that has not committed to a set of tested breeding standards
that are designed to help breed the happiest and healthiest dogs
possible. If you ask a potential Yorkie breeder if they are listed with
a national breeder registry and it turns out that they are not then you
are probably going to want to move on to a breeder that is listed.
The value of your vet’s input into choosing a Yorkie breeder cannot be
underestimated, as your vet can be a valuable source of some very
helpful and important information. If you do not currently have a vet
you are doing business with then the perfect time to establish a
relationship with a vet is during the process of trying to find a
breeder. Your vet is always concerned about the health of your pet and
they will let you know if any of the breeders you are considering
should be avoided or not.
You never know what to expect from some people and some Yorkie breeders
may seem like the nicest and most responsible people in the world when
you meet them for a few minutes, but in reality they are hiding secrets
from you. Always ask local law enforcement about any of the Yorkie
breeders you are considering and if you find one with a negative
reputation with law enforcement then avoid that breeder completely.
You can also use your own intuition when it comes to choosing Yorkie
breeders and just spend time talking to all the candidates to see how
they answer questions.
If any particular breeder makes you feel uncomfortable like you may not
be able to stay in touch with them, or they simply do not know their
business very well, then you will want to stay away from that breeder
and move on to other breeders on your list.
You will remain in touch with your Yorkie breeder for many years after
the sale and your Yorkie breeder will be a very important part of your
dog’s life so be sure you are making the right choice in this very
important decision.
This is a very important decision for you and your dog so make sure you
take the time and do the work necessary to make the right decision the
first time.
