Stop Yorkies For Sale On Internet Sites

[Susan Bailey]

Proper Yorkshire Terrier puppy care begins with the selection of your puppy. If you buy a sick, incredibly inbred or mentally retarded puppy, you are going to face an uphill battle in being able to have a good companion. When you meet your first dog, you want to know that all dogs deserve the best care possible. You want to be sure your choice of Yorkshire Terrier puppies does not support any practices that hurts adult Yorkies.

The best places to find Yorkies for sale that will make you good pets and be compatible to your lifestyle are licensed breeders and animal rescue groups. One of the advantages of Yorkshire Terriers is they stay relatively small and exceptionally cute all of their lives. The adorability doesn't end with Yorkshire Terrier puppies, it lasts all throughout their lives. And you want to be sure you are not stuck with a mountain of vet bills (although you should expect to pay a few hundred dollars each year in food, shots and a check up each year).
The bad news is that most places that advertise Yorkies for sale get their puppies from these inhumane puppy mills. These places include all pet stores and all Internet ads that will ship the puppy to you and do not ask you any questions other than your method of payment. Often, there will be signs in front of farms saying "Yorkies for Sale" and you will walk directly into a puppy mill. Please report them to the proper authorities if you come across such a foul place.

The good news is that Yorkies for sale can be found from licensed breeders all across the country. If you specifically want a purebred Yorkshire Terrier puppy, these are the best places to go to. These breeders only have a few Yorkies for sale each year, as their kennels and breeding operations are run out of their homes. The fewer the number of dogs in a kennel, the more individual care they get.
Although technically animal shelters and dog rescue places don't have Yorkies for sale, they do require anyone adopting a dog to pay an adoption fee. So, in the minds of some people, that means they have Yorkies for sale. The adoption fee is a few hundred dollars, usually less for an adult. The adoption fee not only helps keep the animal rescue center going, it discourages people who would adopt Yorkies for cruel purposes like medical research or as training bait for dog fighting.

In conclusion, if you want to find happy, healthy Yorkies for sale, then you are best off skipping all pet stores and all Internet ads. Go to American Kennel Club or state licensed dog breeders and to animal shelters. There are also rescue places just for Yorkshire Terriers. Those you can find on the Internet, from your vet, from your local animal shelter or from going to dog shows. From these sources, Yorkshire Terrier puppy care matters more than money.

Many people collect everything they can find about Yorkshire Terrier puppies. There would be fewer abandoned Yorkies if people knew basic Yorkshire Terrier puppy care.

I bought my yorkie from a family friend- although i already knew that yorkies were a great breed i felt reassured as i know both the and the dad. I know that it's not always possible for most people who are looking to buy a new puppy but my advice would definately be make sure you can see the mum and the dad in thier home enviroment and really look at their mannerisms before rushing in to buying a cute bundle of fluff! I am looking to buy a second one as a companion for my gal, i have been searching for months to find the perfect friend!

I also bought both of my yorkies where I was able to see both the mother and the
father, I had looked for over two years before I found my first yorkie, I didn't want
to buy through mail, I wanted to know what I was buying. They have brought so much love into our home, they are like having two children.

Yorkies are so small and vulnerable to harm: I can't imagine anyone putting them through the rigors of an Internet purchase. Besides, they are incredibly sensitive little persons, so just the thought of putting a Yorkie puppy through that kind of trauma is painful for me to imagine. I met my Yorkie (G.W. Rags, whom I call "Dubbins") when he was a few weeks old, and I got to hold him for a brief amount of time. When his breeders felt he was ready, they allowed me to pick him up. Like a new mom, it was the happiest day of my life. A lot goes on over the Internet, and cruelty to Yorkies is only a small part of it; however, I cannot condone buying Yorkies that way.

I agree that we should get our little yorkie pups from a reputable source. I have many friends that have bought a so called "yorkie" and months down the road the poor little yorkie turned into a yorkie poo. Not that yorkie poos are bad, but the money that my friend spent was wayy too much to not get what she was looking for.
