| question... please help well after searching long and hard for a yorkie in the nyc area, I found a lady who is willing to part with her yorkie...The thing is he had surgery on his hip yesterday. He has a genetic disease that cause his hip to detereate. It could happen in the other but he could be fine. after 2 weeks he has to start walking on his leg to build his muscle up but the vet said he would start on his own. He will be a normal yorkie in about 2 months and fully recovered in 6 months. He is only 10 months old and he is neutered. A part of me wants him simply because the fact that I would feel good taking in a yorkie such as himself, but then again I don't know if its such a good idea... Any opinions? |

| Leg Perthes disease is a bit more common in small dogs than we like, but it is correctable. If you were to adopt any puppy or dog, your going to take a chance that something such as this could occur. None of them come with a guarantee. If you feel a connection to this dog then I say take him home and give him the best life possible.

Donating Yorkie Yakker | Just curious how you got someone to give their dog to you like that. Was she selling him? I think if he's already 10 mos old the hard part is probably out of the way a little bit. The pup is lucky he will be going to someone who wants him and will love him. |

| I was reading the paper and saw the ad for the puppy up for adoption. We spoke on several occasions and I asked her why she was giving him up, she said it really broke her heart to do so but she wasn't doing any good for him because she really doesn't have the time to dedicate to his needs. I think I'm going to go for it and when I receive him I will post up pictures of my little guy. He will be my first and I can't tell you how excited I am! |
