Complete Questions For A Yorkshire Terrier Breeder

You have decided that you want to get a Yorkshire Terrier and now you need to find a good Yorkshire Terrier breeder. Getting the names of prospective Yorkshire Terrier breeders is a process unto itself and once you have those names you want to be certain that you know what information you need to get from these breeders in order to make a good decision on which one you want to go with. This is a little primer on the questions you should be asking your Yorkshire Terrier breeder so that you know what information you need to get to make the right decision.

A national breeder registry is an organization that sets breeding standards and the breeders that list with that registry abide by those standards. If the breeder you are considering is not listed with a breeder registry then it may be a good idea to try and determine exactly what breeding standards they are using and where they got those standards.
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.
The best Yorkshire Terrier breeder will offer services that go above and beyond normal services. In some cases a breeder will have a service where they will offer to take your dog back if you can no longer care for it or you can no longer give it a good home. Of course you would not get your money back but at least the dog will not be abandoned or sent to a shelter of some kind.

It is always a good idea to spend a lot of time talking with prospective Yorkshire Terrier breeders and just see how you feel with them and how you like talking to them. At the end of the day you will still have to be in contact with your breeder for some time so if you are not comfortable with any of the ones you are considering then it may be wise to not do business with them when it comes to your family pet.
