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 just got a yorkiepoo.  I don't know how old he is, but my question is how old are most yorkiepoos when their teeth come in?  Cozmo doesn't have any teeth.

Answer
Vickie,

At eight weeks of age he should have a full set of baby teeth.  Most responsible breeders will not let a puppy go until they are weaned which usually occurs at between 6 to 8 weeks.  If your dog is between these ages he should have teeth.  I would encourage you to take him to the vet to have him checked out.  Not just because he has no teeth but also because if the reason he has no teeth is because he is less than six weeks of age you need to make sure he is healthy.  Also, how is he eating with no teeth?  What are you feeding him?  Why don't you know how old he is? You need to make sure he is getting enough nutrients to grow properly so what you feed him until he gets his teeth in is very important.
