I can answer any questions regarding breeding, potty training, grooming and general health questions. I can tell you what to look for when purchasing a Yorkie to ensure you buy the pet you desire.
Experience
Experience in the area: I have been breeding Yorkshire Terriers for over 20 years. I have had experience with c-sections, how to revive dead puppies, handling birthing complications and what you should and should not do when breeding. Publications: I have written a book entitled "Yorkshire Terriers - A Common Sense Guide To Breeding and Everything Else". The book is available on my website, www.petremembrances.com/Yorkie%20Advise.html as a downloadable PDF
Education/Credentials: My experience with breeding Yorkshire Terriers and having them as pets for over 20 years has taught me a lot. The mistakes I have made can be put to good use because I can pass the information on to others and help them not to make the same mistakes.
Question I am considering buying a yorkie male puppy from a breeder. Is $1500.00 alot or is it possible to get a good bred puppy for less money? I am worried about spending that much on a puppy what are the guarantees?
Answer Debby,
You do not have to spend that much on a male to get a good stud. You want a stud that is going to be 2.5 to 3 pounds full grown. You will need to make sure that the parents are small. You need to see both parents before you purchase the male. The female should be no larger than 5 pounds and the male should be no larger than 3 pounds. This usually assures that the male you get will not be too large to use as a stud. You can usually go by the hair texture and color of the parents for what the puppies will look like. If the parents have nice hair color and texture then the puppies will also.
If you are planning on breeding for pedigree or championship bloodlines (for show dogs) then you will pay a lot more for them. If you are just planning on breeding nice yorkies that people want as pets then you should be able to purchase a stud for six to eight hundred dollars.
