| Original post: Hello and it's very nice to meet you all. My name is Patti and my husband and I are proud parents to Charlie, a 70lb 2 1/2 yellow lab, he is the most obedient, energetic, loyal, caring dog anyone could ever hope and wish for. Also, he is intact, has never sired (although we get asked at least once a week), nor does he raise his leg... we are truly blessed. We have decided to expand our family because he is just so awesome, he deserves a little buddy. We researched nearly a dozen local (150mi radius) Yorkie breeders and think we found our little guy. The breeder has over 30 years experience, only breeding Yorkies, all kept indoors , very clean, very reputable. This little boy that we fell in love with, is a bit smaller than we were originally looking for, currently 1.58lb at 9 weeks old, but his personality is identical to Charlie's. Tons of energy, very independent, much more tough then he is big The breeder says 3 more weeks and he can be ours and anticipates, judging by his bone structure, he may only reach 3 lbs. All that matters to us at this point is that he is healthy and can live a happy full life with Charlie and us. I would appreciate any advice on owning a smaller yorkie, bring-home introductions, and anything else I may be should consider. Thanks in advance. Patti |

| Thank you all for the warm welcoming Is it normal that I am so excited, I almost look for an excuse to call the breeder, I don't know what that's about, just anxious I suppose. I didn't get to feel this way about our lab, Charlie. He was originally for my 17 year old stepson, and eventually he (being the teenager that he is) was just going out too often and neglecting Charlie, my husband and I soon took over, Charlie was 5 months old at the time. For the first few months I tried not to get too close to Charlie, the idea that 3 or 4 years down the road our stepson would move out and take him scared me. Needless to say when my husband and I took over, I went all in. Now I adore Charlie and find comfort that he will grow old with us. My stepson, now in college, just comes and goes now and knows he made a poor choice and will have to someday start over again with a pup of his own. I wouldn't change anything, my stepson had pleaded with me that he never had a pet of his own and I sweet talked his dad into getting him a dog. My husband at the time was a bit pessimistic and in his heart knew his son wouldn't be responsible, it all worked out and I couldn't be more grateful. Sorry for the rambling, thought a little bit of history might be useful in aiding my YAAD (yorkie arrival anxiety disorder). Thanks again everyone |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Welcome Patti, I am a newbie as well and just brought home my yorkie on Monday. I also have an 11 year old as well. My breeder also has been doing this for 30 years and she gave me some good advice. Put his bead and wee wee pads in the crate with his food and water. Pick him up when he is not crying. I was advised not to let him pee outside until he gets his 3rd set of shots in Feb but I can take him out (Just not allowing him to walk on the ground. Let me know if I can be of more help and CONGRATS!! |
