| Howdy all, new here. :) Hey there yorkietalkers! I come to you very new to yorkies, but not to dogs in general. I'm a doberman fancier and am expecting my first pup in about 12 weeks. (Yay!) However, my wonderful boyfriend will be graduating West Point in 4 years and would love to have a yorkie all his own. Cute, huh? ::grin:: I want to become well versed in the genetics and breed idiosyncrasies before he brings a pup home so that we both can keep his baby happy and healthy. Can anyone point me in the right direction with a few insightful articles? PS - If I have anything to say about it, this yorkie will see an agility course when its little bones are ready for it. Maybe the OB ring too. Gotta earn your supper (especially since I plan to do raw/cooked)! |

| A great big "howdy" to you to. No really, from my Minnesota accent it would be "HI GUYS". LOL. Glad you joined YT. I have a little zoo. My bigger doggies are a Belgian Malinois and a Czech import German Shep. My little babies are my Yorkie, Bijou, a Japanese Chin named Ping Woo, a Pap/Peke mix named Buedda, two rescue kittens (15 wks old) which have names but seem to come to kitty kitty best, LOL, two hermit crabs that also have names but can't recall them and a bowl full of sea monkies (need a magnifying glass to see those little suckers). Both the Malinois and Shep are Schutzhund trained. The Malinois is protection, obedience and agility trainined. Just got his certification (about a year ago) for drug detection. The Shep is obedience and agility, though she isn't good at either one. Just too lazy. LOL

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Books? BOOKS? We don't need no stinkin' books! We just ask each other. I'm kidding. That's actually a good idea. I've heard YTers discuss books from time to time, and I've bought a few without finding one that I'd consider to be a definitive source for my pet-quality Yorkies. But it would be nice to have a list of references together. Maybe this is the place to do it. In general, Yorkies are big dogs trapped in little dogs' bodies. They are energetic, intelligent and curious, yet loving and loyal. They can be any kind of dog you want them to be as long as they're loved. My (almost) 3-year-old is currently in his third agility class. He'll never be the fastest in the class, but he understands the sport as well or better than the big dogs. Props to your boyfriend for not needing a big dog to impress his friends!

| Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! I'm thrilled to meet such an active knowledgeable group! Also, puppy pictures! These guys are the latest litter from Sharon Karam at Kettle Cove. Mom is a beautiful blue with a decent coat (hard to find!), and Dad is an amazing dober-hunk with a really solid head piece. LOVE this stud! He's also delta therapy certified. |
