subject: What To Look For In A Yorkie Puppy Breeder [print this page] Purchasing an animal, especially one that is highly popular and sought after, such as yorkie puppies, should not be taken lightly. When purchasing a puppy directly from a breeder, make sure that you look into the breeder to ensure that you are getting exactly what you have always wanted, and what you have paid for.
It is important to make sure that your puppy is in good physical and health condition when you pick it up. Many breeders will provide a guarantee of the puppy's health. For instance, many will ensure that your puppy will be healthy and in good mental and physical condition for the first week that you have them. To ensure that they are in good condition, it is imperative that you take your new puppy to your local veterinary office within the first 48 hours of picking up your puppy.
Your puppy should be happy prior to you taking them home. Make sure that your breeder of choice seems to truly care about the puppies and treats them as one of their own. Also make sure that your puppy had plenty of room to play to ensure that they got the physical and mental exercise that they require at their young age.
If possible, request that you can meet your future puppy before agreeing to take them. This will allow you to decide if this is the right puppy for you and that it is in good physical, mental, and health condition before taking it home. However, many breeders are not comfortable with potential buyers coming to their home to meet the puppies. This is largely due to the fact that an unknown human can contaminate all of the puppies and make them sick. If this is the case with your breeder, make sure that they offer some type of guarantee in case you decide that it is not the right puppy for you.
If your breeder of choice has a website, that is usually a good sign. It tends to show that they breed puppies for a living, and this is not just a hobby for them. If they have a website, take a look at the pictures of their animals to ensure that they look happy, healthy, and well cared for. If they have any client references, testimonials, or reviews, make sure to take a look at those as well to see what their past clients are saying about them.
