Yorkshire Terrier is a dog that requires exceptional attention, love and affection from its owner. But sometimes there are also cheeky disheveled monsters, endlessly trying their tiny, but sharp teeth on everything that moves and does not move. How do you choose the right puppy for you?
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what gender your dog will have, although there are no fundamental differences in the maintenance of males and females, there are no gender nuances in upbringing. Usually both boys and girls are affectionate, loyal, although in the future their character can be changed beyond recognition by the poor attitude of the owner to the pet.
Step 2
Think about what you need a dog for. Yorkshire Terriers, like dogs of other breeds, are usually divided into three classes:
- PET (companion and pet);
- BREED (purebred dog of good blood);
- SHOW (pedigree dog of good blood, intended for participation in exhibitions).
Step 3
Depending on the purpose of acquiring a puppy, go to the show to negotiate with the owners of elite producers or to a kennel specializing in a particular class of breed. You can, of course, go to the Bird Market, but what you eventually acquire may later resemble anything but a Yorkie. It is also dangerous to use advertisements in the media. The address where the cheerful Yorkshire family lived yesterday may turn out to be phony tomorrow, and the phone number may be blocked.
Step 4
Contact a Yorkshire Terrier breeder after receiving positive references from former clients. Check out the puppy's pedigree. The puppy must have a vaccination card.
Step 5
Look at the puppy's face. The Yorkshire Terrier's muzzle should be proportionate, not particularly long. Thanks to the spherical head with a rounded crown, the little Yorkie's face always looks like a cat. The eyes should not water, be too bulging, especially bulging. Yorkies are usually bought when they are 10 weeks old, by which time their ears should be straight. Check the bite: it should be correct, scissor bite.
Step 6
Check the puppy's physique. The back must be straight, the limbs even. Pay special attention to the posture, since it will be impossible to correct it later. The coat should be clean and neat. If the puppy's coat is thick, then this does not guarantee that when he grows up, its structure will remain the same.
