There is just as much to know about how to spot a bad Yorkie breeder as there is in spotting a good one and the more information you can arm yourself with the better off you will be in making this all important decision. Always make sure you ask the right questions and know what answers you are looking for so you can tell if the Yorkie breeder you are talking to is one that you want to do business with or not.

A national breeder registry is an organization that takes the time and effort to develop breeding standards that its members must follow. These standards are designed to help breed the best dogs possible and if you are talking to a breeder that is not listed with a breeder registry and is not following a proven standard then you may want to move on to a breeder that has invested that effort into their business.

You will never find a better source for unbiased information in your search for a Yorkie breeder than what you will find with your vet. Your vet is just as concerned about the potential health of your pet and if they have any warnings to give you about any particular breeders then they will let you know. If you do not have a vet yet then the breeder searching process is the perfect time to start a relationship with one.

It is difficult to tell the complete story about someone from a brief meeting and that is why you do your homework. One of the places you should ask about your prospective Yorkie breeders is with local law enforcement. If local law enforcement has anything negative to say about a breeder on your list then it is safe to say that you should avoid that breeder.

You need to trust your own instincts as well in your search for Yorkie breeders and that means that you should spend a great deal of time talking one on one with prospective breeders. See how they answer questions and try and get a feel for what they know and how they seem to behave.

If you are not comfortable with a particular breeder, or they do not seem to know their business, then avoid that breeder completely.

The relationship with your Yorkie breeder is a very important one for you and your dog so make sure you take the time to do the homework necessary to eliminate the bad breeders.

This is a very important decision for you and your dog so make sure you take the time and do the work necessary to make the right decision the first time.
