| Fairly New Yorkie Owner Hi, everyone! I got my little Yorkie, Tango, about 3 weeks ago. Before I got Tango I had a little miniature dachshund, Rollo. Having a puppy again has been fun but also nerve wracking! I've already picked up on the differences between having a dachshund puppy and a yorkie puppy. I'm looking forward to learning tips and suggestions from the group. Pam |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk, you will get so much good advice on this site. I was a first time Yorkie owner and probably would have lost my mind if not for reading posts and learning from a lot of the experience Yorkie owners here. Please post a picture, I love seeing the new baby Yorkies

| Welcome, this is a great site for info. I know what you mean; my hubby had GSD and a setter before so he was used to big dogs. When I lived in Germany I had Bernese Mountain Dogs. So now with our little Merlin it's very different, but so much fun. |

| I am the mom of a 13 weeks old Zoe. I know how you feel about the changes in breeds as I've had toy poodles most of my adult life and they have all been very quiet, docile, obedient dogs (all from different litters and different states) who wanted nothing better than to please me and love me. Most lived to be close to 16 yrs old. Never had an obedience problem and never read a book on the caring of poodles and never had to. Then I got a yorkie. I love her but don't think she feels the same way about me although I've had her 7 weeks now. She gets wild and hyper sometimes but I suppose that is the yorkie breed or else just the puppy temperament although I've seen and heard of many puppies who were loving from the start. Mine can only be held when she wants...which is not often at all. I've only held her to cuddle a very small number of hours in 7 weeks time. I go day to day hoping each one would be 'the day' that she will let me hold her, pet her, play with her. I had he trained to play fetch and to bring the ball and place it at my feet. She'd sit on command (most of the time), and come running when I called her. Nothing has changed except now she has decided it's more fun to keep the ball, run from me to keep me from catching her (diving under the bed to avoid it), and barking when I play ball with her and sometimes barking at me for no reason at all. And it's not the playful bark with her butt in the air...but a daring bark. I am the only one who feeds her, cleans her pen, grooms her, etc etc. except at night my husband shares in taking her out to potty. But she hasn't barked at anyone but me. I so wanted a sweet little dog who likes to cuddle and who would love to just spend time with me. I follow just about every bit of advice i've read on yorkies thru books and on Yorkie Talk. When I think I have it conquered she decides to turn the table and I feel like I am starting all over again. Anyone else have this problem? I get at my wits end sometimes. She's a precious little girl....with a very stubborn streak. When she plants her but down no leash or calling will make her budge from that spot.
