There are a lot of things to consider before choosing a new pet from a litter of cute Yorkshire Terrier puppies. Of course before you get a dog or any pet in general for that matter, you are going to want to be sure that you are going to be willing and able to put in the time and care that is going to be required of them. Sure owning a pet may sound exciting and fun to you at first, but you certainly do not want to realize that you made a mistake a couple weeks down the road.

Yorkies are known as being one of the smallest dogs on earth and even fully grown they usually weigh no more than seven pounds. Although they are incredibly small, they are certainly not lacking in personality, and in fact they are often described as being a big dog personality in a small dog body. They are very alert and make great watchdogs.

If you have decided that you are interested in Yorkshire Terrier puppies then of course you are going to have to figure out where you can go to get them. There are many options available to you here, but the best idea is usually to find a breeder. This way you know that you will be getting a healthy and happy dog, rather than one who has been at the pound and may have been abused.

It does not have to take long for you to determine the good breeders from the bad, just make sure that you do your research and that you ask lots of questions.

Any reputable breeder is going to be more than willing to talk to you and answer any questions that you may have, and so be wary of those that steer away from your questions or even refuse to answer them.

Once you have found the right Yorkie puppy for sale offered by a reputable breeder and have brought your new pet home, the next thing you are going to want to do is get them vaccinated. This is very important, especially in the world of today where there is more illness and disease more than ever before.

There is the DHLPP puppy shot for one, which is a combination vaccine that protects against five different diseases. The diseases it protects are distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza and parvovirus.

After this, in order to fight off sickness they need to have these vaccinations. Also keep in mind that some puppies will have adverse reactions to these vaccinations, and if your dog ever experiences any symptoms such as fever, depressed appearance, or hives you need to take them into the veterinarian as soon as possible.
