Yorkie Puppy Questions, Answered
Buying a Yorkshire Terrier puppy comes with a long list of questions, and you deserve straight answers before you put money down. Below are the ones we are asked most often at Harrington Yorkies — how our waiting list and deposits work, what a teacup Yorkie really is, how big our puppies grow, what goes home with them, and what happens on going-home day. Amanda has raised AKC Yorkshire Terriers in southeast Georgia for years, and every answer here is how we actually do things, not a page of fine print. If your question is not answered below, please reach out — we would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Are deposits refundable?
- All deposits are non-refundable and non- transferable, and no puppy is considered "reserved" without a deposit. - Prices of available puppies are subject to change without a deposit.
Do you allow home visits?
- Unfortunately, we no longer allow home visits due to possible safety concerns. Our newborn, unvaccinated puppies can be exposed to diseases, and moms can become stressed. In addition, we don’t feel comfortable having strangers in our home. Some people don’t have good intentions. - We now meet everyone at the Statesboro Police Department–25 W. Grady Street, Statesboro, GA 30458
Do you offer stud service?
Sorry, we do not.
I’m out of state, how do I get my puppy?
- Your puppy can be flown via "flight nanny"( If I currently have one available) for an additional fee (generally it’s between $675-$1000) ****No dogs/ puppies will be shipped via ground transport ( This generally takes days and is too stressful on the dog/puppy)****NO EXCEPTIONS - We can meet you at our airport (Savannah Hilton Head International Airport –SAV) if you should choose to fly in to pick up your puppy.
Is there a boarding fee for late pickup?
The buyer will be charged a $25-a-day boarding fee if they don’t pick up their puppy by the agreed upon date.
Do you sell your puppies with breeding rights?
Occasionally we sell puppies with full AKC breeding rights for an additional fee. Puppies sold as pet only do not come with AKC registration.
What do your puppies come with?
All puppies come up to date on their vaccinations/dewormings, vet. checked, microchipped, and health guarantee.
What supplies do I need to get ready for my puppy to come home?
** See below FAQ’s questions for examples of a pen setup, and for the food and meal mixers we recommend** - An Iris or toddler play yard to keep the puppy in at night or while not being supervised. One large enough to be able to fit a puppy bed on one end along with food, water, and toys and to have a potty pad on the other end of the pen. - Nuti-Cal (please see Hypoglycemia form), - Dog bed - Shallow dishes for food and water. - Bag of dry puppy kibble (Royal Canin Mini Puppy is what your puppy is currently eating). Your puppy is also eating Stella and Chewy’s freeze-dried chicken Meal Mixers along with Fresh Pet crumbled on top. - puppy toys - either washable or disposable potty pads. - Snuggle Pet with a heartbeat to help the puppy feel secure (optional, but recommended) - Snuggle Warmer heating disk. You heat it in the microwave and it will stay warm for around 8 hours or more so the puppy doesn’t get chilled (optional, but recommended) - small slicker brush (cat size works well) - puppy or baby shampoo - Also, a harness and leash. A harness is recommended rather than a collar because toy-breed puppies and dogs have delicate trachea.
