| Must love brats! New to the Forum. My name is Luci, I have two Shiba Inu, Kyo, and Kona. We live in South Florida. I was recently turned into a Yorkie lover last week when I got to babysit Faisca, my friends "hyper" and "annoying" Yorkie. I brought him home played with him, brushed him, walked him and loved him. I see now that he's under loved and under exercised at home because he's so lovable and after the walk he was so calm for the rest of the day!!!! Plus, he actually tolerates my two Shiba's so well it's great! So... now I'm a soon-to-be-owner of a Yorkie. Looking to adopt! :3 |

| Oh yeah, thats a typical story "My Yorkie is WILD!" most of the time its because of lack of exercise from the owner. I know I could exercise my boys more than I do also, so when they have a bad day I look in the mirror. Its ME! Anyways, yes, they are amazing little dogs with expressive eyes and curiosity to match! Their size makes them more portable than a lot of other breeds and the fact that they try to climb you if they think you are leaving w/o them makes them more portable too! HAHA Best of luck in your search. Please look for a good breeder and make sure you have a good contract when you purchase. Yorkies can have health issues that can cost $$$$$ thousands! Best to pick the right pup, from the right breeder with a health guarantee to try to avoid some of those large bills in the end. Ive been SO lucky with my boys. Aside from upset tummies once in awhile, minor ear infections earlier this year, they are the picture of health!

| Welcome to YT, I am glad you fell in love with this breed. but I have to say that I am surprised your friend left her yorkie with you since you have 2 Shiba Inus. While they are beautiful dogs they are also known to be prey driven towards small dogs and you often read it's not recommended to have them with small dogs. I would not be surprised if a reputable small dog breed rescue denied your application based on that. Shiba Inu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
