There is just as much to know about how to spot a bad Yorkie breeder as there is in spotting a good one and the more information you can arm yourself with the better off you will be in making this all important decision. Always make sure you ask the right questions and know what answers you are looking for so you can tell if the Yorkie breeder you are talking to is one that you want to do business with or not.
A national breeder registry is an organization that creates standards for all breeders to follow to try and insure that their dogs are happy and healthy pets. If a Yorkie breeder you are talking to is not listed with a breeder then you may want to have second thoughts about that breeder or at least ask what standards they use for their business, as information like that can be extremely important to you and your dog.
It is an understatement to say that your vet is a source of important and helpful information for you during your search for a Yorkie breeder. Consult with your vet and ask for any input they may have about breeders you are considering. If they think you should avoid a particular breeder then avoid them. If you have yet to choose a vet then the breeder search is perfect time to start that relationship and get your vet involved in your breeder decision right away.
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.
In the end you are the one that will have to deal with the breeder you choose so make sure you spend a great deal of time talking to all of the Yorkie breeders you are considering. See if you feel comfortable enough talking to the breeder to maintain the long term relationship with them that will be essential to your dog’s health.
Also see if they know what they know what they are talking about when it comes to their business because that is important as well.
Finding a good breeder is extremely important so take your time, do your homework and ask a lot of questions. If you make the wrong choice then you could regret it for years so make sure you use all of the resources available to you when you are considering a Yorkie breeder.
Remember that you are not only buying your pet from the breeder but you will need to stay in contact with them for many years to come so keep that in mind in your search.
