If you抳e decided that you may be interested in becoming part of the
yorkie breeders society, there are some things that you need to consider
and steps you need to take. Raising any type of dogs is never a task
that should be taken lightly, and you want to make sure that you do
everything right, and that you抮e up to the responsibility. There are a
few guidelines to follow that can help you make the right decisions.
Considerations
The first thing that you want to do is be honest with yourself about
your reasons for wanting to be one of the yorkie breeders. No
responsible breeder does it only for the money; they truly love the
breed and are dedicated to raising happy, healthy dogs and adopting them
out to loving homes. Talk to other people who raise these dogs, and ask
a lot of questions. Be sure that it抯 something you really want to do.
Starting Out
If you抳e decided that you definitely want to be one of the responsible
yorkie breeders, then you need to do some preparation. Make sure that
you have a fenced yard for letting the dogs run, and some well-built
kennels if you think you抣l need them. Designate an area in your home
for your mother and puppies where they won抰 be disturbed too much, but
be sure to start socializing puppies early. Find a reputable
veterinarian with whom you can develop a good working relationship.
You抣l need to have your pups vaccinated and certified as healthy before
they go to their new homes.
Learning as You go
Yorkies breeders will be the first to tell you that they are always
learning something new about these dogs and how to raise them, and
you抣l be no exception. Stay current with all the latest information
about this breed, and talk to other breeders on a regular basis so that
you can share and receive tips and suggestions. Your dogs will be
unique, so pay attention to their personalities and strengths, as well
as any problems that might seem to crop up now and then with your
parents and puppies.
Responsible yorkie breeders raise happy, loving, and healthy pets, and
that should always be your goal. Screen everyone carefully who wants to
adopt one of your puppies. Watch how they interact with the puppies, and
ask them what they know about the breed. If they seem to resent your
questions or your request to inspect where they live, don抰 sell to
them. Be protective of your puppies! When you raise these wonderful dogs
responsibly, you抣l feel good about what you抮e doing.
