| Newbie :) Hi everyone ... Well this is my first post. I'm not a yorkie owner yet but I'm hoping to get one by the end of next year. Until then, I wanted to learn everything I can first so that when I do get my Yorkie, I'll be a better owner. Does anyone have any advice? Can you direct me to some reading material (online, books, etc.)? I think my biggest concern for when I am ready get one is where to go about getting one (for a decent price) ... I'm from Southern California by the way. In the meantime, if anyone has any pictures they want to post of their Yorkies, I would love to see them! |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Welcome to YT, Jenn. You're going to love it here. And you're going to love owning a Yorkie. There's a ton of good information right here on YT. Start with the FAQs on the General Discussion forum. The My Yorkie forum has a lot of pictures. There is also a health & diet forum and a training forum. You could spend weeks just looking at old discussions. Hope you enjoy it.

The third is my middle daughter's little girl Princess Chai who is a parti color gold and white yorkie and is 9 months old The second is my new baby Ava who is 4 months old. The first is my oldest daughter's boy named Buddha and he turns a yr on 10/1. |

| Welcome jenn! There is a lot of Yorkie pictures in the YT Photo Gallery here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/gallery There's also a lot of posts and stories and pictures in the My Yorkie section of the forum here: https://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-yorkie-pictures/ I have heard prices in California are usually a bit more than in other places around the country, if you have not yet considered it, you may be able to find a more affordable price if you are willing to have your breeder ship your Yorkie. Good luck and have fun finding the perfect Yorkie for your home. |

| You might also like to get the book "The new Complete Yorkshire Terrier" written by Joan B Gordon, who was a breeder of the finest Yorkshire Terriers and raised many champions. It was recommended by someone on this board, and I got my copy from amazon.com. I don't remember how much it was, but it was very reasonable. There is a lot of information in it, about a lot of things. Oh, and welcome to YT, by the way. I'm sure you will have a good time here. |

| Hi and welcome to yorkietalk! I am in the same boat as you. I grew up with dogs, but I don't have a puppy of my own yet. You have probably found the best place for info on the net. The people here are great and they can answer just about any question you may have. Good luck on getting your puppy. |

Yes I would definitely like to hear about new litters if you ever find anything out. Thanks! Do you have any idea what the going rate is nowadays in CA? I've only seen ads for Yorkies on Next Day Pets and it is such a big range. I also saw a Yorkie at a shop (Moondoggies) in Orange County and I think she was $2300. Wow you have such cute Yorkies ... and Ava looks SO adorable!! By the way -- Happy Birthday to Hefner! | |
