KEEP IM MIND THAT A "CHEAP" DOG IS LIKE A "CHEAP" CAR - THE REPAIR BILLS ARE MURDER

Between 20 -40% of Yorkies have patella luxation - a problem that frequently requires surgery.. This condition is HEREDITARY. The parents may have the condition and not (yet) show visible symptoms. It can only be definitely diagnosed by Xrays. Such dogs should NOT be bred.

Now responisble reliable breeders who test and screen their dogs for hereditary health problems and temperment do NOT breed litters to have them for Xmas delivery. They may have a litter but then they may not depending upon on their plans for the dogs and are waiting to breed after Xmas or in the spring... we are not talking about people who churn out puppies like so many toys for the Xmas trade. Moreover, even if they have a litter they will be very wary of sending the puppy to its new home in the middle of the Xmas franticness and stress.

If you have to wait for the right puppy, give her a stuffed toy dog with a card and a picture of the future parents

Now if you are a wonderful "Forever Home", many reliable responsible breeders will work with you on payments. They want the PERFECT homes for their pups, not the money, They breed because they love the breed and hope to produce superior quality dogs but every litter has healthy, sound puppies with great temperments who has some little flaw that you wont notice (and if it were pinted out, you would think nuts) that makes them not competitive in the show ring.


That takes you to the National Club that is the only club about the breed that is recognized and accredited by the AKC and it sets the standards for the breed . The Clubs' websites will give you an ENORMOUS amount of information about the breed - the good, the bad, and the why or why not to get that breed. The clubs websites also have:

(1) a breeders list - all of whom have agreed to abide by the breeders code of ethics (which you can read)

http://www.ytca.org/breeder1.html

(2) a link to the breed rescue for their breed

http://www.ytca.org/rescue.html


Do give serious thought to adopting from an adult from a breed rescue. The clubs' breed rescues go to a great deal of trouble to determine the dog's temperament, personality, likes and dislikes (particularly kids and cats and other dogs in the household), health, and level of training. They make a huge effort to match the right dog to the right home - and if they don't have one they think will be suitable for your home, they won't place it. Great way to avoid the puppy training, newspapers, chewing.......They have dogs that are purebred and part-bred (1/2 or so of their breed.) Dogs that come through rescue are so thrilled to have a forever loving home having once been abandoned to a shelter or rescue that they are typically extra devoted and loving. Dogs lose their homes for reason that are not their fault: death, divorce, a move and they couldn’t keep them, financial problems….

If you decide to get a puppy, please use one of the breeders who are members of the breed club. A well-bred pet puppy may not be a candidate for the show ring (that nose being 1/8th of an inch to long or something else very picky) but they will be very healthy, the parents carefully screened for hereditary health problems ( and that involves a LOT more than a checkup at the vet) , and from a breeder who has devoted a great deal of time to understanding the breed and bloodlines. A responsible breeder will have a written contract with a health guarantee for hereditary problems; require that if for any reason you ever have to give up the dog that it comes back to them; and always be available for help, assistance and advice about your dog. Such a breeder will tell you if they don't think their breed is right for you based upon your needs. They want a perfect forever home for the puppies - not the money. (In 43 years in the dog show world, I have never known a breeder of that caliber who has made a profit on their dogs - it is labor of love.)

A puppy from such a breeder costs no more - and often less as poorly bred dogs tend to have very high vet bills over the years - than from a backyard breeder who doesn't do the health checks, knows nothing about the breed or bloodlines, doesn't give a guarantee, never wants to hear about the puppy again and has breed from mediocre or poor quality dogs.

You may find the breeder who has the type of dog you want but no litter on the ground at the moment. Most good breeders have waiting lists -get on it. You may find the breeder and puppy you want but at a distance. Among the really responsible breeders (members of the club) shipping a puppy is quite normal -they want the best possible home for the dog and the written contract is very extensive.

Do ask the breeders on the club list if they have any dogs they bred that they need to rehome - good breeders all require if the owner can't keep one, it comes back to them. It may be a dog they placed and it came back because the owner didn't have time, didn't realize how big it would get, got divorced.... It may be a dog who was a show prospect but as they grew didn't meet their early promise. It may be an AKC Champion they decided not to use in their breeding program because while it did get the Championship, they don't need more bloodstock or find a tiny conformation flaw they don't want to reproduce.


NEVER EVER buy from a pet shop. Those puppies came from puppy mills where the parents are locked in cages, bred until they literally die from it, never vaccinated, never wormed, fed just enough so they don't quite die of starvation, live in filth, never bathed or groomed or cared for, are typically of very poor genetic stock both physically and often mentally. The puppies are shoved off to pet stores with no vaccinations, no worming, no socialization or handling... You are buying nothing but heartbreak at a price higher than what a responsible breeder charged for a pet puppy.


IF A SERIOUS BREEDER OR RESCUE TELLS YOU THAT THE BREED IS NOT SUITED FOR YOUR SITUATION - BELIEVE THEM - NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LIKE THE WAY THE DOG LOOKS

You can get a good quality Yorkshire Terrier by going to www.akc.org & buying from a breeder that is also a member of your closest breed club chapter. Buy from a breeder that tests & certifies their breeding dogs free from sublaxated patellas and other genetic defects known to the breed for a healthy, well-adjusted pet for life.

Yorkies are not cheap due to small litters & high demand, though, so you may also want to check at your closest Yorkie rescue group (also at the AKC site) - and get the added benefit of giving a dog a 2nd chance. What a lovely Christmas present that would be!

Answer 4

There is no such thing as a teacup Yorkie or any other breed. "Teacup" is a marketing ploy used by irresponsible breeders in order to sell undersized dogs of various breeds. Puppies delibrately bred smaller then the standard all to often have serious health issues..heart, kidney, skeletal, etc... if you want to purchase a Yorkie then look for a responsible breeder who truely cares about the breed, breeds to breed standard, breeds for health & longevity and doesn't use marketing ploys to sell undersized puppies.

Answer 5
