Yorkshire puppy return policies vary by breeder but typically involve a contract requiring the dog to be returned to the breeder if the owner cannot keep it. While reputable breeders will take back a puppy at any time, refunds are rarely provided unless the return is due to an immediate health-related issue covered by a health guarantee
• Return Requirements: Most breeders require, via contract, that the dog is returned to them rather than being rehomed or sent to a shelter.
• Refund Policies: Generally, no refunds are offered for returns due to owner change of mind or personal circumstances (e.g., job loss, lack of time).
• Health Issues: If a puppy is returned due to a severe, pre-existing health issue (often within 2 weeks or with veterinary certification), a refund or replacement may be offered.
• Costs: The buyer often pays for the return shipping/transportation of the puppy.
• Resale Clause: If the puppy is returned, some breeders will rehome the puppy and, once sold, provide a refund to the original owner minus expenses.
Always review your specific breeder’s contract, as return policies are legally binding and vary significantly
