Of all the breeds of dog you can choose from, the Yorkshire Terrier puppies tend to be particularly popular. There are several reasons for this, but one of the main reasons that people love these dogs is because they are so small and adorable. They do require a lot more care and maintenance than other breeds however, so before you go ahead and get Yorkshire Terrier puppies for yourself you are going to want to make sure that you will be willing and able to put forth this time and care.

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.

Now that you have decided to go ahead and get a Yorkshire Terrier puppy, know that you have made a great decision in terms of breed, but you will have to spend some serious time finding a breeder to buy from. There are some great breeders out there but then there is also what is known as mass breeders. These are breeders that you want to stay away from, because they are more in it for the financial gains and do not take proper care of the Yorkshire Terrier puppies. As a result there is a litter of dogs that have been mistreated and from this have poor manners and behavioral issues.

Stay away from mass breeders, those who will not offer you any information on the dogs when you ask. These breeders are in the business for the profit, the financial means, rather than for the love and care of the dogs.

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.

It is very important to get these puppy shots while they are still puppies, because little puppies have a certain amount of natural immunity that they get from their mother's milk but this wears off by the time they are around eight weeks of age.

Also remember that obedience training is very important and should be done as early on in the puppies' lives as possible. This ensures that they well be well behaved and well mannered, which is particularly important if you are planning to have the dogs around children. You can do certain training techniques yourself or you can take them in to an obedience class or course. You will of course have to pay a fee for these services but it is well worth it for the results that you will have with your dogs.
