Yorkie puppies come into the Toy Breeds category. The Yorkie puppy never grows taller than about nine inches and the maximum weight should be no more than seven pounds.
At birth this dog is black, but the colour lightens to blue and tan as he matures. His coat is silky and he doesn’t shed hairs all over the carpets. But he does need daily grooming.
Playful little lapdogs
On the whole, these tiny terrier puppies are bright, playful little lapdogs.
But they do need a lot of care. Teeth, eyes and ears need to be cleaned every day.
Anyone seeing an advertisement for a ‘yorkie puppies sale’ is advised to do some homework before buying. These experts claim that the more educated buyer are about the breed, the more satisfied they will be with the puppy when he eventually joins the family.
Buyer beware
There are lots of yorkie puppies for sale, you may even see some offered as free puppies. But as with any other breed, it should be a case of buyer beware.
Check the pedigree, meet the parents… the puppy’s parents, that is. Ask lots of questions, like has the puppy been vaccinated and is everything up to date, is he friendly or snappy, does he have any problems with his food, his bowels, his bladder? Is he nervous? Is he actually ready to leave his mother? Is all the documentation in order and up to date?
Best kept in pairs
Some Yorkie owners say that these little dogs are best kept in pairs. Because they are so playful they thrive on the company of a sibling. Or even an unrelated Yorkie. Left to their own resources they become mischievous, or clingy. Or both.
So it’s worth considering buying two puppies from the same litter.
That way, all the paperwork and checks can be carried out at the one go. Also, each has a readymade friend to relate to.
Foraging for goodies
Double the fun for them. Double the pleasure for you.
And just think… you’ll have a couple of bubbly, bouncy little balls of mischief waiting to greet you enthusiastically every time you come home from work, or your latest shopping expedition.
They will know, of course, that you haven’t been anywhere other than foraging for goodies for them… so into the shopping bags those noses will go to see what goodies are likely to emerge (Yorkies, we should have said, are among the most inquisitive of all dog breeds).
One Yorkie puppy is lovely, but two are double the fun!
