Getting your Hands on a Quality Yorkie

Yorkies are amazing dogs and that is why they are really hard to get your hands on. People from all backgrounds are asking breeders for them on a regular basis.

It is important that you evaluate the quality of the breeder if you want a quality dog from them. Pay attention to what they are selling and why.

Ask them why they are passionate abut the Yorkies. They should be interested in so much more than just the money they make from selling the puppies.

They should be interested in pursuing the quality of the breed overall. This means they are trying to identify any genetic problems that can be prevented.

They are also keeping the dogs happy because they are well cared for. Find out about their diet and their living conditions.

If you are able to go to the breeding location it is better for you. Ask to see the parents of the Yorkshire terrier you are thinking of purchasing.
