| Hi I'm new I'm new to the forum. I want to find out if the yorkie breed is the right breed for me. I have poodles and I have always thought the yorkie breed was cute so I need more information and I feel that owners of the dog are my most reliable source. Thanks Grandma J |

| I have only had my yorkie for about 9 months so I am so means an expert. This is how I feel about my baby: She is the best thing that has ever happened, besides my "real" children of course! I read a post on here not long ago that compared our furbabies to our real children and I loved it!!! Yorkies do not talk back, complain, expect money for doing things, they do not take advantage of us. They give us unconditional love...I wish I could give credit to the person who wrote this because it was awesome, thank you! They are the most devoted little things you will ever find. It is absolutly amazing how much love they give you, never asking for anything in return! All that being said, they take patience and time. She is still not 100% potty trained, her bladder is so small, and she requires alot of grooming time. Although I look at this time as an excuse to spend more time with her If you have the time and patience, then I say go for it, you will not be sorry |

| Welcome to YT! There's so much information on this site. Yorkies are wonderful little dogs but aren't neccessarily the right breed for everyone so it's wonderful that you are doing your research first

| Hi, you came to the right place to find out information ... I have found Yorkies to be very loving and adorable, but they do require attention and they are high maintenance (which we love doing, since they look so cute dressed up and groomed nicely) ... but make sure you do more research so you know what you are going to expect .....

| Welcome to YT HI AND WELCOME TO YT I am sure you will find all you need to know about the yorkie breed by using the sites "search" engine. I had a poodle and loved the breed; now I have two maltese (love the breed) and a yorkie (love the breed). Yorkie's are alittle more active to me than the maltese but are about equal with the poodle's fiesty attitude. Just buy from a reputable breeder and you won't go wrong with a yorkie!

| Hi Hi and welcome. I am a new member as well. Also a Grandma. Last year we decided to get a Yorkie, and found Tootsie. Things worked out so well with her, that we decided to get her a companion, and along came Teddy. All I can say is that they are the sweetest, most loving dogs we have ever had. They each have their own little personality. I have found them to be a very energetic, intelligent breed. Tootsie would play ball until she drops, and sometimes, it is a little hard to keep up, but hey, I can use the exercise. The only advice I can give is that if your grandchildren are very young,(mine are in their teens) make sure that they are very careful around them, and handle them in a gentle way. I am very cautious when young children come to the house, as without meaning to, they could step on one of them. It sounds as though you are doing your homework, and reading up on them, and I'm sure if you decide to bring one into your home, you won't be sorry. We aren't. Can't imagine life without them. Janelles Tootsie & Teddy's mom |
