Yorkie Breeders You Should Steer Clear Of

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 takes the time and effort to develop breeding standards that its members must follow. These standards are designed to help breed the best dogs possible and if you are talking to a breeder that is not listed with a breeder registry and is not following a proven standard then you may want to move on to a breeder that has invested that effort into their business.

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.

Many people forget to cover all of their bases in a search for a good Yorkie breeder and one of those bases is local law enforcement. Contact your local law enforcement and ask them about the breeders you are considering. If any of those prospective breeders are known to law enforcement in a negative way then you may want to move on to other breeders.

You need to trust your own instincts as well in your search for Yorkie breeders and that means that you should spend a great deal of time talking one on one with prospective breeders. See how they answer questions and try and get a feel for what they know and how they seem to behave.

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.

The relationship with your Yorkie breeder is a very important one for you and your dog so make sure you take the time to do the homework necessary to eliminate the bad breeders.

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.
