| Soon To Be Yorkie Mommy -Help Please!!! I finally decided to go with a particular breeder. After over 20 (+)(investigations) of breeders. I found a breeder by the name of Deb Sillers of AMAZING YORKIES. Everything about her gave me the feeling of her being the one in which I would be able to find my perfect match. I have read nothing but good things about her & her Yorkies.! I am quite knowledgeable as far as training methods & health & diet. -I will be crate training as far as getting a good potty training schedule -I may travel with my princess from time to time & would need to potty pad train her. It gets hot in Texas & any duration of time in any unsettling weather will not be allowed for my princess. So I figured this would be the best method. I did purchase washable pads & will give these a whirl. -I have been suggested to feed Fromm Gold puppy food. So hopefully I get great results from this. -I will keep my baby's hair long so I was also recommended Chris Christensen System Products. & Pure 100% coconut oil. -I have a family vet that I use for all my animals & have had nothing but great experience with them. If you can provide any additional info or reviews on anything that I have discussed PLEASE feel free.! I am a nerve wreck until I finally have my precious baby in my hands. As I will be taking her EVERYWHERE. As she truly was my own kid. : ) I am open to ANY helpful advice & opinions. THANKS tons.!

| Congratulations on your upcoming pup. When will you be getting her? Have you picked a name yet, or are you waiting until she is home? You are very lucky to be getting one of Deb's pups.... she is an excellent breeder and very well respected here. I'm sure you will hear that over and over, especially from the owners who have been fortunate enough to get one of her Amazing Yorkies. Waiting is hard, but you can rest assured that having done your homework in picking an excellent breeder, the hardest part is behind you.

| I should be able to get her towards the end of September or October-ish. Yes I decided on a name. It is officially Minnie Moonshine. Hehe. My daughter used to love watching Mickey Mouse && Im a big fan of Disney. Its the original character & my baby will be quite small so I figured it would be a great representation of her size as well. Moonshine is after my mother. Whose last name is Luna. Which in Spanish means Moon. So thats where that pretty much derived from. Although I am quite a country gal && we southern folks know about moonshine.! He He.... I will also have her spayed prior to me receiving her. So this may be a delay in receiving as well. Which Is fine. I'm willing to wait for my perfect baby. I cant wait.!!! Since I have stumbled across this forum. I have found such great info and ideas. I'm already stopping in EVERY store I would even think would have pet stuff. Has anyone heard anything about Fromm Gold Pet Food.? I would be hoping to get my pup onto this. As this is what I have been recommended. I appreciate all the kind words and help. Thabks SOOOOO much in advance.!!!

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Lucky you! Deb has gorgeous babies. I'm not sure what Deb feeds her puppies, but I would recommend you keep your princess on it for awhile after you get her home. Puppies can have sensitive tummies and need to be switched over to new foods slowly. I can't wait to see pictures of Minnie Moonshine.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Congrats. I am so excited for you. Here are some of the things I would recommend Puppy food - whatever puppy is eating now Tube of Nutra Cal Blankets Potty pads Potty pad holder Iris 4 sided expen with 2 extra sides Toys Identification tags Nature’s Miracle Treats- Cheerios work well Small bowls Harness Leash Puppy shampoo Conditioner Espree Pet Facial Cleanser - plum Baby wipes Nail clippers Kwik Stop Styptic Powder Curved scissors Brush - Li'l Pals Slicker Purple and Green Brush for Kittens, Extra Small - slicker brush that I find it to work awesome... just make sure you get one without any ball on the ends of the pins so it doesn't snag the long hair. Comb - Groomaster Finishing Dog Comb - this is a great eye comb, I have it and use it to get eye boogies out and even to use around their butt when they get some dry puppy stuck! Books "Yorkies For Dummies" "Yorkshire Terriers: A Smart Owners Guide" "How to Housebreak Your Dog in 7 Days"

| So happy for you. Deb is a wonderful breeder with beautiful puppies. I am hoping when the time comes for us to add another we can be lucky enough to be chosen to love one of hers.

| congratulations on your new puppy, can't wait to see photos. I am surprised to hear you will have her spayed before receiving her, I thought vets did not do it at 12 weeks??

I could be mixing pups up in my head though...it wouldn't be the first time I would trust Deb's judgement.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Ok, forget my last comment. I WAS mixing Minnie up with an older dog that Deb held back. Slinking off to go have more caffeine!
