What You Want To Know About A Yorkshire Terrier BreederThis is a featured page

After you have made the decision to get a Yorkshire Terrier the next thing you need to do is make sure you choose a good Yorkshire Terrier breeder. One of the ways you can do that is to make sure you know what questions to ask a potential breeder and then what answers you are expecting from them. It is always good to ask a lot of questions of someone as important as the prospective breeder of your future pet.

A breeder that is listed with a breeder registry has a set of proven breeding standards that they follow to try and make sure that the animals they are selling are happy and healthy. If the breeder you are considering is not listed with a breeding registry then you may want to ask why not and also ask exactly what standards for breeding they use if they do not use proven ones.
Support after the sale is essential for any good owner and Yorkshire Terrier breeder relationship so be sure you ask your potential Yorkshire Terrier breeder if they plan on staying with touch with you after the sale or if they avoid that kind of thing. If they are not big on offering advice and support to owners after the sale then you may want to consider moving on to a different breeder.

Any good breeder is going to make sure that the new owners have everything they need to take care of their pup after they leave the breeder's property. This includes detailed care instructions for your new dog in some form of written format and it also includes making sure that you leave with a sample of your dog's food so you know what to feed your new pet. If these are not standard practices of your prospective breeder then it is time to move on.
You can always tell a really goodYorkshire Terrier breeder because they are the ones that go above and beyond what a normal breeder will do just because they care about the dogs. Ask your breeder if they offer a service where they will take your dog back if you cannot care for it anymore or if you can no longer keep it. You won't get your money back but you will know that the dog will be given a good home and you know you are dealing with a good breeder.

The relationship with your breeder is one that should last for years so talk to your breeder and just see how you feel about the communication between you two. If you are not comfortable with that communication then you may want to consider dealing with another breeder. After all, this is years of family happiness we are talking about here so take your time and ask questions.
