Yorkie Puppy Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a Yorkshire Terrier.

• View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
• If viewing a puppy under 8 weeks, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
• Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
• By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped
• Review and verify any documents, such as KC registration paperwork where applicable

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

• Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
• Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
• Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
• Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
• Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".
• Seller asks to immediately switch to communication off the Yorkie Owners website
• Seller uses a different phone number to the one listed on the website - especially if that phone number is in one of the advert images

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
