| Your Yorkie's Dam & Sire? Wouldn't it be wild if someone here actually adopted a Yorkie from Otis's litter? Does anyone here know their Yorkie's parents' names? I adopted Otis from a breeder named Linda Bush, and Otis's mom and dad were show dogs. Otis's dad (sire) was Snap E. Tom, and his mom (dam) was Martha Stewart. |

| Hahahah... Cute names, I only recall Yoda's daddy's name right now. Snickers Bartholomew. I thought the name Snickers was a hoot. We got him from a GREAT breeder in Everett, WA. I really need to remember their names. The whole family takes part (mom/dad/4-5 kids) and each child has one Yorkie that they take care of on their own. Then they help during the litter process as well. It was great that you could see they loved their Yorkies and that they weren't just around to make a buck. All their Yorkies were AKC registered and Yoda's lineage (probably grandparents) were show dogs as well. We lucked out and found their name from the Seattle Times newspaper ad. Before our little research, we almost got a Yorkie from some pet store. Junebug, do you know if you can find out a Yorkie's lineage online? Or perhaps from writing in to the AKC? I never looked into it or anything, I was just curious. |

Did you pick Yoda out from a litter? I think Otis had a brother and a sister, but they were both bought by someone else. I am so lucky I ended up with him. He fits my lifestyle perfectly. | |

| Yup, Yoda had at least 3 or 4 brothers and 1 sister. We were originally going to get a girl Yorkie, but then we talked to the breeder about the differences and then we looked around, and we chose the smallest runt (Yoda!). :P I think any Yorkie adapts to their surroundings, as I swear Yoda is just like his Mommy. He was only supposed to be 4 and a half pounds, but uhh, we spoiled him too much the first year. We just didn't know any better and couldn't resist his charms! |

Otis is nothing like me. He burps a lot and takes naps all day. | |

| Suuuuure... :P I hear Yoda sneeze, but he doesn't really burp that much, well maybe after he eats a bone. What causes Otis to burp? |

I don't know what causes him to burp...he's been doing it since he was a puppy! And he burps with his mouth open, so it sounds like a big man's burp! No kidding! Hmmm... I guess I'll go take a nap now. | |

| Some of Toto's lineage! This site has some of Toto's relatives on it! They raise Chinese Crested, also. It's really interesting .... I didn't know that one of the Crested breed had hair other than on the head, feet and tail!! The hairless is really warm to the touch and feel like velvet. When I'm really busy [and am brushing Toto] I sometimes wish she were a Crested!! NOT!!! If you have time to look at the site ... some of the Yorkie champions are Toto's relatives ... i.e., "Wilderness Girl" is her Grandmother! http://www.domaine-du-president.com/index.htm

| That is pretty neat bettyeanne! I think one of the coolest things about Yorkies is that they don't shed and that their hair is like our human hair! Of course, they do tend to get cold a little faster... |

They DO get cold faster ... and when we first got Toto we also were so well instructed by breeder and vet that I was an absolute wreck!! I worried that she would get cold .... would get sick .... wouldn't eat ... would eat too much ... wouldn't have the correct balance in her diet, etc., etc.!! We are much more relaxed with her now! She lets us know if she is chilly, lets us know if she is hungry [although we do keep her on a pretty strict schedule]. It has been a pretty amazing journey so far ... watching her mature from a 16 week old furball to a 9 month "little lady"!! She is an absolute joy!!

| Aww, still a baby! A heat blanket is great, just make sure they don't chew on the cords! Yoda always has his available to him when we are gone. He will lay on it for half an hour, then get too hot, then go off it, then come back when he's cold again. |

Growing up, I was naively under the impression that toy poodles were basically your only option if you wanted a dog that didn't shed. It's great to know that Yorkies don't shed, and not enough can be said for not having a loose hair on everything I own. It's a godsend!! | |

| I shed more than Yoda. In the past two years, I think I've maybe found his hair around the house like 3 times total. :P |

| I'm sure there's plenty of breeders in California, but with that comes a higher price, perhaps. You could look at breeders out of state. I've seen them for $500 on the low end to around $1500 for the high end. I found a breeder I trust, and they charge from $800 to $1000 last time I inquired. Hope that helps! |
