| Purchasing our Yorkshire Terrier Pups |



| Are you interested in a Cloverdale Yorkie pup? |
| While we would love to keep each and every one of our little darling puppies, unfortunately, we cannot. We do have puppies available from time to time. Female Yorkies are harder to come by because there just aren't as many born as males and often they are kept by the breeder. Please give equal consideration to male and female puppies. The males do not mark if they are neutered when they are young and have not learned that practice yet! Males are just as loving (if not more so) as the females. Males tend to want to be with you more. On occasion, we do have tiny puppies. We however, do not breed for that particular size on purpose. |

| Keep in mind that the term widely used describing some Yorkshire Terriers as Tea Cups is NOT a term that reputable breeders use. There is NO SUCH THING as a teacup Yorkshire Terrier! These are terms that certain breeders use to increase interest in their dogs (and most always the price). If you would like information on "SO CALLED" Tea Cup pups click here |


| I am asked quite often if Yorkshire Terriers are toy, standard, teacup, babydoll or miniature. The Yorkshire Terrier is in the TOY group in the American Kennel Club. Some Yorkies are smaller than others. The breeds preferred standard weight for the Yorkshire Terrier, recommended by American Kennel Club, should be between 4 and 7 lbs. If and when we do have tiny pups, we most certainly do not refer to them as "Tea-Cups". |

| We will only sell pups with papers for show/breeding if they are of breeding/show quality. Prices are not determined until the pups are evaluated for structure, soundness, health and temperament. All pet quality puppies papers are retained by me. All pet quality pups are sold under a strict spay/neuter contract. |

| Our Yorkies are American Kennel Club (AKC) registered. We maintain strict records and adhere to the Code of Ethics that the AKC has put forth for us as breeders. Our Yorkies and pups are healthy, beautiful, sound and have loving, wonderful temperaments. We temperament test our pups at 45 days. Temperament testing helps us match our pups to the family's that wish to adopt them. |

| Our pups are raised in our home. They have their own puppy room (where I sleep for 2 weeks) until they are old enough to be with the others. When they are old enough, they are moved to the family room to be properly socialized. In their puppy room they have music, television for stimulation and a 2 compartment whelping box for the beginning of early potty training. We feed them only the highest quality puppy foods to ensure they have the best start in life. |

| I will put interested parties on a waiting list. A $200.00 deposit is required to hold a puppy and is NON-REFUNDABLE. If you would like your deposit to go towards a future litter, that is acceptable. The balance is due in cash or certified funds when the puppy is picked up. I WILL NOT take deposits before the puppy reaches 4 weeks of age. After that, I will take your deposit to hold your puppy until it reaches it's proper age to leave. Deposits are taken on a first come first serve basis for picking out your puppy. That means, whomever gives us the first deposit has the first pick after Cloverdale has chosen any puppy we want may want to keep. |

| Our puppies are guaranteed to be in excellent health when they leave our home. They are guaranteed for 1 year against life threating congenital defects. Exceptions are patellar luxation or tracheal collapse because of environmental issues. If a congenital defect is found or death should occur, you must notify me immediately. In the event of death of puppy, the Buyer (at Buyer's expense) must provide us a letter stating cause of death from the attending veterinarian along with a copy of necropsey report. If the cause of death is found to be due to a congenital medical condition, a replacement puppy of the same quality will be arranged. If one is not available at that time, I will replace it from the next litter of equal quality. All veterinary bills are the responsibility of the buyer. |

| We sell our pups at 12 weeks of age, sometimes later if they are small. They will have been vet checked once or twice, had their first set of shots, are wormed 3 times, fecal tested, ears and eyes checked, random bile acid tested and are structurally evaluated. We put a great deal of time, money, love and attention into our breeding program. We have a small breeding program so puppies are not always available. We reserve the right to not let a puppy go to it's forever home until we and our vet are in agreement that it is ready to leave our home. Under our contract, you must take your new baby to your vet within (3) days of adoption. |

| Yorkshire Terriers can be HIGH MAINTAINENCE especially if you keep them in coat! Yorkies aren't for everyone so do your homework. We encourage our buyers to come and sit with the pups. Your puppy will pick you as much as you pick them! They will steal your heart ... be careful!! |

| In order to give our pups the best possible start in their new homes we send a puppy care package that includes a book containing useful information about the Yorkshire Terrier breed, some valuable information on grooming, feeding, potty training, and how to tape the ears if it is necessary. Also included are Wee Wee pads for training, our contract, the pups health records, AKC registration papers (pending spay/neuter if necessary) and a list of books on Yorkshire Terriers that we recommend. We supply a bag of food with our pups and a toy that they love. New things are added to the puppy packs everytime! They will be groomed, perfumed, and ready to go! |

If you are a puppy mill, a broker or a pet store you need not bother wasting my time. I ABSOLUTELY will not sell to you. Cloverdale Yorkies maintains the right to change these conditions at any time as we see fit. Cloverdale Yorkies reserves the right (at any time) to refuse to sell to anyone we feel is not right for our puppies. |
