Bichon Yorkie Breeder Q&A
What to look for in a breeder?
Holy cow batman- BYB charge a ton of money for mutts!!!! I had not idea. I was looking for breeders in my area and the BYB popped up on the internet. Man, I'm in the wrong business, they make good coin. Just kidding, wouldn't be a BYB- if I was to breed anything, it would be Devon Rex cats- the pure ones, without any of that american shorthair in them.
Why are mutts so much money? A yorkie mutt with a bichon or something like that- in my area- costs a few hundred less then a purebred yorkie.
Here's my question:
-when looking at breeders, how can you tell if they are legit?
-what should I look for in a breeder and their dogs?
-what are some things to watch out for?
-how do you even find breeders? Just BYB keep coming up on my google searches.

To coin a phrase, you are looking for 'breeders' in all the wrong places!
For starters, reputable breeders do not normally need to advertise on the internet. Okay, many have a website, but this is a world apart (much as you can put anything on a website!!) from advertising on a general dog sale website. Good breeders more than often have a waiting list - because of their good reputation.
So where to find these perfect people lol ........ contact the breed club. Most have somebody who actually keeps a list of people with puppies available (UK - I'm not speaking world-wide here), and at the very least, would be able to give you names of known good breeder/members, probably in your area even. Go visit, although please don't go from kennel to kennel on the same day, especially if there are puppies around (infection). I ask people to remove their shoes, and wash hands before touching my puppies, and I don't allow anybody, other than maybe close friends, to come see my litters until they are at least 5 weeks. Good breeders should be asking you as many questions about you and your home, as you will want to ask them. They should have you sign a contract, which should include a return clause, in the event you can't keep their puppy - for his entire lifetime.
When you visit, they should be happy to show you their adult stock, and if they do have a litter, there should be no problem about seeing the litter, and mum. Some breeders will bring a puppy out, and say 'your puppy will be like this one' ...... personally although I'm aware some do this from an infection point of view, I don't trust this! You should always see mum with the litter.
You should get a 'good feeling' about the person you might be buying from - they should be people you feel confident about having an ongoing relationship with (re the puppy!!). I, for example, found a breeder via Champdogs, went to see them ..... suffice to say much as I wept for the poor puppies, I ran! Couldn't get out of the place fast enough.
The other place to find breeders is at dog shows, but you still need to go visit them at home.
Why so much money for these mix-breeds? Because it's a SCAM. These people are persuading the gullible public that having a mix-breed is something special. And far better than a purebred. You might be lucky with a mix-breed, but as this is an unregulated practise, no testing, no registration and so on, in reality, whether you get a healthy puppy is a total lottery. There are no 'absolute guarantees' with a purebred puppy of course - we are breeding live beings and there's always something to come out of the woodwork, with the best of tested stock and planned matings ..... but the odds are against a mix-breed puppy being what they are presented as being, because the parents are not tested, and these people are just putting Dog A of one breed, with B itch B of another, for profit. And that's all!! And you are lucky if mix breeds are less money than purebreds in your area - these days it's often the other way round ..... and they are coming from purebred stock that may have been originally sold on non-breeding contracts because their breeders felt they were not good enough to be bred from, but because the puppies won't be registered anyway (can't), it doesn't matter!.
It's a mess!!

Bichon Yorkie Breeder Q&A
When I can use the FURminator tool in my puppy?
I'm going to bring home my chocolate labrador puppy breeder early (at 7 weeks old) and would like to know about the FURminator. I have never used this tool before, as my other dog does not have a cape or a ship (yorkie / bichon). When I can start using this tool on your skin? If I can not use this tool right away What else should I use? I feel I'm in for a rude awakening when it comes to dog hair all over my house. LOL I hope this product works. If you use the FURminator, please let me know if it works as good as it looks. Thanks
furminators works great but I wouldnt use them in a little puppy .. for a dog will not developed an even layer .. and the FURminator, although it works, is harsh on the skin. I think that until the dog gets a little older than you should use a zoom groom, which is plastic and soft, and it works great .. You'll feel like a massage and let your puppy used to brushing and management .. in some dogs (in particular a mixture of laboratory i recently fixed) the capture of the groom worked better and better tolerated dog
