What You Should Do When Choosing Yorkie Puppies?

By Dmitry Vasenyov


Examine the snout of Yorkie puppy: his eyes ought to be clean and shiny, the nose should be wet. Look in the ears of a small Yorkie; inflamed skin, odor and dark rheum indicate about the ear diseases. Pay attention to the puppy's teeth: with the right "scissor" bite the upper teeth cover the lower ones, and the lower teeth fit snugly to the inner surface of the upper ones. It is very complicated to correct the defects of the bite; they are not corrected with age.

You should also pay attention to the number of cutters in puppies: it must be 6 upper and 6 lower ones. Sometimes there are fused incisors (double). These puppies are not usually discarded, since when teeth are changing, normal incisors grow in place of double teeth.

In York males both testicles should be dropped into the scrotum. The undescended of one or two testes - cryptorchidism - is a defect. Cryptorchidism is corrected with surgery; this testicle must be speedily removed with a view to prevent cancer.

When selecting a York puppy, it is advisable to pay attention to the features of character and temperament. To do this, watch closely the behavior of puppies and you will see that each young Yorkshire terrier already has individual behavioral features. All puppies must be active, curious and frolicsome.

The developed inquisitiveness indicates about mental usefulness of a puppy. You should not stop your choice on the puppy with unstable nature. Lack of balance is manifested in an inadequate reaction to stimuli; such puppies are usually spooky and hysterical. Unbalanced nature may be a symptom of mental deficiency and defective mental power. It is known about these defects a little, but it is known that the developmental disorders have a hereditary nature and are not corrected by breeding. You must know about it when selecting a little pet.
