| Is it true Yorkie's can "recognize" each other? I love my Yorkie, and I want to get another dog for her to play with. I've been looking at different breeds, such as Toy Poodles. There's a breeder about 2 hours from me who breeds Toy Poodles and Dachsunds (not together) There was a "mistake"unplanned litter and one of her Poodles and Dachsunds bred, so the puppies are being sold for $300, because she did not intend to breed the 2. I've seen pics of the woman and her family, plus the dogs and puppies. They seem like lovely people, and their dogs are their pets. Her purebred pups go for $925. The parents are tested for genetic defects, DNA tested, eye CERF (might've got that wrong) sorry, I'm not a breeder..so I don't know the exact technical term. The puppies come with a 2yr health guarantee against any genetic condition. However, I heard one some TV show that Yorkie's get along best with their own breed, because they can recognize each other..I love Yorkie's but it's very hard to find a breeder in my state..and I don't want to travel outside of state. If anyone knows of a breeder in Pennsylvania, that'd be great. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

| Personally, I wouldn't take a dog just cos it's a cheap puppy. The initial cost of a pup is nothing compared to the lifetime cost. Get what you really want for the next 15 or so years, don't just settle cos it's cheap initially. Is there a reason you don't want to travel to get a yorkie? Again, personally, I'd willing drive a long distance to get a pup I'd be having in my life for the next 15 or so years. One long trip is nothing to get what you want. I don't know if dogs recognize their own breed or not. ZoE certainly recognizes other dogs on tv, but then she also barks at horses, cows, elephants...basically anything on 4 legs. I do know ZoE recognizes her friends though. When she are out an event and meet other new dogs, she's very leery of them, but when we meet up with a friend of hers, she's so happy to see them.

| I'm convinced my boys recognize other Yorkies and have a particular fondness for them. They also seem fond of other breeds, toy poodles are at the top of the list. All of the dachshunds in our neighborhood are angry little guys, lol. The breed is generally NOT that way though.

| In one of Cesar Milan's books (Cesar's Way), he described what happens when he exercises his dogs in the morning. They go up in the mountains, and alternate walking, running, and resting for 4 hours .... "What's remarkable is, whenever we're walking or running, the dogs of all breeds are indistinguishable. They are simply a pack. When we rest, they break up into breeds. The Rottweilers will all go together. They will dig a burrow in the ground to rest in. The pit bulls will lie down together, always in the middle of the pack, out in the sun. And the German Shepherds will go and lie under a shady tree. They all have their own style. Then, when it's time to run again, they'll all fall in as if there were no differences between them at all. The dog and animal in them is far stronger than the breed-- at least when it comes to the serious business of migrating." Interesting! They do apparently recognize one from their own breed. The question is, though, do they recognize their breed by sight, or do breeds smell differently from one another?

| I believe they do recognize their own kind. |

| Yep...I know Princeton does too!! Before I had Ricky, I used to take him to visit my moms dogs, which are his sons...and I had never seen him so excited to see other dogs before. At first, I thought it was just because it was his offspring. But the same thing happened down the road with the other Yorkies. He basically snubs most other breeds..especially bigger dogs...he get's mildly excited when dogs his size approach him, like the chi's, but he REALLY get's excited when he sees another yorkie!! |

| Haha! I thought I smelled a hint of Frito on Teddy's paws last night. He thought I was crazy sniffing his toes.
