Baby Doll "Yorkie in Maryland"

Some facts you need to know when purchasing your special puppy… I have had  numerous customers contact me wanting to purchase a Yorkie baby, only to  find out they have been scammed by a "so called breeder".  Many people  have called in tears after purchasing from other breeders. One of the  things I hear as they received a different puppy then the one they purchased. Then to find out they never receive the puppy and or a different puppy then the one they purchased. This is horrible to hear and saddens me to know this goes on all the time.  

Here are some helpful tips to go by when purchasing your special treasure:

 - Never pay for a baby in full before receiving the puppy. “We have the customer pay half to hold the puppy for you, then 

    the balance is due when you receive the baby”.

-  It is important to physically meet the breeder face to face when getting your puppy. This is another true way of knowing

    they are an honest breeder and you are getting the puppy you purchased.       

-  Be sure the breeder has a state license, this way they are inspected by their county at any given time and have to live

    up to strict standards. This is another insurance to make sure you are not purchasing from a back yard breeder. This

    will make you feel more  comfortable knowing the puppies/dogs are well taken care of.  

 - It's important to Face-time the breeder so that you can physically see what you are buying and not going by 

    pictures/videos that they can edit and make them look cuter than they really are.

-  Anyone can write a review for themselves and paint a picture of what  they want you to think about them. Make sure 

   they can give phone numbers to prove the customer are real reviews. 

 - Be sure the puppy has been seen by a licensed veterinarian for overall health, shots, and worming. 

    A professional  breeder should be reputable, responsible, and caring to the dogs. They seek veterinary advice, take care of their puppies, and make sure the dogs and puppies are happy and clean. The important thing is to distinguish these different types of breeders, and know how to recognize a puppy mill or backyard breeder, versus a professional breeder. 

    Most breeds of dogs go into heat every 7/12 months. Of course, this varies  from dog to dog depending on the size and breed. Professional breeders  may or may not breed a female during every heat cycle. However the dog should be rested and take into consideration of their health, as to me that is what I care about. They are very  intuitive of their dog’s health, and will allow the mother to take a  break if they feel she needs one. They also make sure that the mother  and all of the puppies are examined by a licensed veterinarian, and up  to date on vaccines that are appropriate. Their dogs are carefully bred,  and testing after breeding confirms that both parents are healthy. 

     All animals should have a clean, healthy environment, are properly socialized, and overall happy and loved. This is very obvious when you see the puppy, if they seem content. If the adults act well mannered you know they have had time spent with them and loved unconditionally. Puppies should be potty trained or close to it

     The amount of homeless dogs in shelters is big, but good responsible breeders aren’t adding to the problem. Unethical puppy mill factory breeders do add to the pet overpopulation. This is why it's important to purchase from a reputable breeder that is licensed and professional.
