Buying a Yorkie: Is neutering required? Are papers necessary?

Yes, they can be vaccinated for rabies at 12weeks, they must be microchpped and have an eu pet passport. Tapeworm treatments are required depending upon where you travel from, certain none eu countries require additional health certificates also

Getting tags for her will depend on where you live. In most municipalities a rabies vaccination is required. If you have no proof of a rabies vaccine, you will need to have a vaccination done by a veterinarian. You will need to check with your locality to find out if any other vaccinations are required for licensing. I would recommend calling the office of the city where you live to find out their requirements. You will not be able to register your dog with the AKC if that is what you mean by having "papers" for her, without proof of her parentage and their AKC registration.

As long as the puppy has started its vaccination series, deworming can be done at any time. If deworming is not done right away, this does not cause any increases risk in contracting a fatal parasite. Once an adequate diet has begun, normal bowel movements should occur. Just be sure there are no other health concerns before getting this puppy and the health history of the mom and dad. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction.

Yorkies can be somewhat protective, as all terriers can, however they don't have a reputation for being aggressive. I'm assuming your considering getting a Yorkie puppy, and if so you can get her off to a good start by selecting a breeder that takes measures to properly socialize the puppies before they leave their mother. This includes exposing them to humans of all sizes, so that they are comfortable with people. As soon as your puppy has had all of his/her puppy shots (16 weeks) you can enroll in a "puppy kindergarten" class, and this helps to establish good behavior and manners from the start.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Wyatt. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian today or an emergency hospital if his veterinarian is not available. He may be painful from the surgery still, but most dogs do not have trouble urinating after a neuter. He needs to be evaluated and will possibly need a urine sample tested. I hope this information helps!

It depends on what you're looking for in your Labrador. If you want a purebred dog, then looking to see what certifications a local kennel club or breeding club in your area offers is a good start. For health, there are often certificates that certify a dog is free of certain hip or joint problems. As for the puppy, researching about common health and behavioral issues before getting one can help you identify problems before they get bad. Meeting the parents of the puppy is also a good idea to help determine personality, breeding conditions, and how mom and dad were both raised to give you an idea of how the puppies may turn out.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Matting is not required. It is currently recommended that if you are not planning on breeding Oscar that he be neutered. Neutering drastically reduces their chances of developing prostatic issues and certain cancers that can shorten his life span. I hope this helps!
