Small dogs are all the rage for those that live the glamorous life. The smaller the dog, the more fashionable it seems. One of the breeds that have become so popular is Yorkshire Terriers.

They are very small to begin with, don’t need a lot of exercise and are quite portable. Twenty years ago, they didn’t crack the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) top ten most popular purebred dogs in America. In 2006, Yorkshire Terriers came in at number two.

The bad news is that most places that advertise Yorkies for sale get their puppies from these inhumane puppy mills. These places include all pet stores and all Internet ads that will ship the puppy to you and do not ask you any questions other than your method of payment. Often, there will be signs in front of farms saying “Yorkies for Sale” and you will walk directly into a puppy mill. Please report them to the proper authorities if you come across such a foul place.

Once you have decided to get a Rottweiler puppy it is important that you find a Rottweiler puppy that is healthy and happy to add to your household. This can be difficult for the first time dog owner or first time Rottweiler owner.

One of the most important tips to finding the right dog is to select a Rottweiler puppy that approaches you or at the very least won’t shy away when you approach them. You should never select a Rottweiler puppy that is fearful or aggressive. Rather the puppy should be friendly and allow you to hold and handle them.

When it comes to the Rottweiler puppy you want to carefully examine their back legs. Since Rottweilers are in general large dogs they can have problems with their back hips, which are costly to fix. In order to reduce the chance of having a dog that will develop these problems you should avoid a Rottweiler puppy that has hips that are grossly turned out and for the most part face forward. Also make sure the puppy’s parents don’t have a history of hip disorders since some of these conditions can be hereditary.
