Yorkie Breeders You Should Stay Away From

Posted by Susan Bailey

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.

The value of your vet’s input into choosing a Yorkie breeder cannot be underestimated, as your vet can be a valuable source of some very helpful and important information. If you do not currently have a vet you are doing business with then the perfect time to establish a relationship with a vet is during the process of trying to find a breeder. Your vet is always concerned about the health of your pet and they will let you know if any of the breeders you are considering should be avoided or not.

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.

You can also use your own intuition when it comes to choosing Yorkie breeders and just spend time talking to all the candidates to see how they answer questions.

If any particular breeder makes you feel uncomfortable like you may not be able to stay in touch with them, or they simply do not know their business very well, then you will want to stay away from that breeder and move on to other breeders on your list.

You will remain in touch with your Yorkie breeder for many years after the sale and your Yorkie breeder will be a very important part of your dog’s life so be sure you are making the right choice in this very important decision.

This is a very important decision for you and your dog so make sure you take the time and do the work necessary to make the right decision the first time.
