| Another newbie-New Yorkie In Texas I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my new puppy. I am the proud new owner of a little Yorkie we call Bella. My name is Donna, hence the member name BellaDonna. After checking out the board I realize she isn't the only one named Bella but I guess that is to be expected. She is my first Yorkie and probably only Yorkie but she is not an only child. We have 6 Chihuahua's too! Bella is 12 weeks old tomorrow and a couple of days ago she weighed 2.2 lbs. She is not meant to be a show dog, in fact the person I got her from was an inexperienced pet breeder and he docked the tails himself! WAY TO SHORT!!! Since she is just to be our beloved pet I decided that didn't matter to me and took her anyway. One thing I have found out is that she is different from my Chi's. She is not intimidated by most things, full of curiousity, and playfulness. The funny thing is that even though she appears to be the same size as my tiniest Chi she is lighter. The hair is definitely deceiving. Since I am new to the breed I will be looking for lots of advice on how to groom her and keep her looking her best and it looks like this forum will fill the bill. If I can figure it out I will be posting a couple of pictures of Bella and maybe a picture of my other babies. Donna |

| Welcome to YT. Bella is a cute lil girl. So are your chi's. There's a grooming section here, too, in case you haven't found it yet. Yes, yorkies are a lot different than chi's. As terriers, you'll come to realize why we sometimes call them "terrorists."

| Oh my....she is such a doll. My sadie's name was almost Bella, I love that name. There are so many Bella's in my area I decided to name her Sadie Bell instead. This is a great place to be, with lots of info.

| I have already been looking at the grooming section and have already been spending some money! I ordered some of that Splash and Shine Shampoo. I am sure my husband can see the $$$ signs floating in front of his eyes with this new addition. It's hard for me to look at our little ragamuffin and see her with long flowy hair. I hope I am up to the task! |
