Buying a Yorkie for the first time...help me - YorkieTalk.com Forums

pink-piko · 02-11-2009, 10:46 PM

So I am looking into buying a Yorkie and so I am looking for advice in what to look for. I found 4 breeders that might be reasonable to buy from. What are reasonable prices? I found prices between $500-$700 from 4 different breeders. Are these prices normal? Will theybe healthy because it would kill me if they got sick and not live a long time. How do I know if these breeders are reliable and if these Yorkies are pure breeds? This is my first time and I have so many questions. Please help me. Thank you

I would do a lot of research and read up on here and then try and go to the breeder's and make sure the puppies are living in good conditions and have a good health gurantee. I hope you find your puppy.

Here is the thread that was mentioned about FAQ's. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...tions-faq.html

Living conditions and especially genetics play a big part in whether the puppy will be healthy. Buying from a reputable breeder is the best. I would recommend you visit the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America - Breeder Referals. Those are reputable breeders, and are listed by state. Prices depend on your area and also your breeder.

You will be able to learn a lot here from reading and asking questions. Definately take your time and do your homework...You will never be sorry.

Good luck
