What You Must Know Before Answering Yorkies for
Sale Ads
Yorkshire Terriers make incredible pets and
companions. They are cute, loving, and playful.
Before you head out to view the terriers listed
in the Yorkies for sale ads you need to know a
few important facts. Should You Consider a
Teacup Yorkie? Yorkies are small dogs to start
off with but many people love even smaller dogs.
As you start your search for Yorkie puppies for
sale in LA and other parts of California you will
run across ads for Teacup Yorkies. These tiny
dogs are unbelievably cute and usually remain
below 3 pounds in weight. They seem like an ideal
pet for someone in a small home or apartment.
Before grabbing onto one of these tiny Terriers
you need to know your heart will be broken sooner
than you desire. Normal sized Yorkies have a
very normal life span of around 12 to 17 years,
but Teacup Yorkies only live approximately 3 to 7
years. This is one of the reasons top breeders of
Yorkies are not highly excited about the tiny
teacup variety. Along with the shorter mortality
rate comes a much higher frequency of illness
including frequent bouts with vomiting and
diarrhea. This can all be avoided by sticking
with a traditional Yorkshire Terriers.

Low Blood Sugar and the Easy Solution Hypoglycemi
a is another important factor you need to be
aware of before bringing your new Yorkie puppy
home. Yorkies are a dog breed which experiences
more problems with low blood sugar than most
other breeds. Luckily this issue is considered a
transient juvenile issue, meaning it will depart
as the dog grows into adulthood at about 1 year
of age. During their first year of life it is
important to give your puppy regular feedings and
establish a good eating schedule. Most of the
issues with hypoglycemia can be traced to
infrequent and inconsistent eating patterns. This
is a very minor issue to deal with, if you know
about it in advance. Pay Attention to Teeth for
Improved Health One last issue which we believe
is important to know owners is dental care for
your Yorkie. Like most other small breeds of dogs
Yorkies can experience slightly higher
frequencies of baby teeth not being properly
ejected by the incoming adult teeth. In these
cases it is advisable to have a veterinarian
inspect the dogs mouth and remove teeth which
may cause trouble. Baby teeth which remain past
their intended life can have higher frequencies
of cavities and cause other dental problems,
including misalignment of the adult teeth. All
of this issues listed above can be reduced in
frequency and severity by working with a breeder
who knows the puppies hereditary. The family
history of your future puppy can indicate
potential problems with hypoglycemia, dental
issues, or other common health issues for
Yorkies. The best way to find top quality Yorkies
for sale is to work with professional breeders
instead of buying a Yorkie from an unknown person
listed in the classified ads. Buying a high
quality dog will save you money in the long run
with decreased trips to the vet.
