| Not quite a newbie and not quite an Old Timer! I became an official member in January, but I can't really qualify as a newbie or an Old Timer. Anyone else out there like this. This thread is for all of you who fall in to this category. Please share a little about yourselves I'll start... 1. Name, Age, and the names of your furbabies? My name is Shannon. I am 32 and my dog Lola is almost 7 months. 2. Are you a breeder (may be helpful for thouse wanting to breed for the first time)? No 3. What about the yorkie breed attracted you to them? I have always loved big dogs. My first dogs were lab/chow mixes. I started liking yorkies a couple years ago and decided they would be the perfect size for a condo dweller. 4. Best Advice for a new yorkie owner? Be patient and give them lots of love. 5. A little personal background, ie. married? single? humankids? I am single, however I have lived with my boyfriend for a little over a year. No kids yet. 6. Tell us some unknown truths about you. I once got married in Vegas spur of the moment. He was a good friend and it was fun at the time |

| How fun! I never "formally" introduced myself so I guess this is my opportunity! 1.) My name is Cheska. I'm 28. I have Bella and she just turned 4mths. 2.) I am not a breeder. This is my first Yorkie. 3.) The Yorkie size attracted me! I wanted a small dog... fell in love w/Yorkies and Bichons. My SO said he did not want a white dog so there went the Bichon! 4.) My best advice would be PATIENCE!!! It will get better!!! I've only had Bella for a little over a month and it's already getting better. 5.) My SO and I have lived together for a little over two yrs. I have an 8 yr old daughter from a previous relationship. Her name is Ariana. We recently moved here to Michigan from the Cleveland area. 6.) I'm gonna have to pass on this one. LOL. |

| I am in that group! Great idea for a thread, I didn't feel like I fit in to either group either. 1. My name is Amy and I am turning 30 on tuesday. My pup is also named Lola!!! She is 6 months. 2. I am not a breeder. 3. I have always wanted a yorkie but wanted to have the time and lifestyle that was fair for the dog. I waited for a long time to make sure that it was the right time. 4. I guess the advice I would give is: when you think you have done enough research, do more! You can never be too educated about anything you get into. I guess hind sight is 20/20! 5. I am married and we have one beautiful daughter named Hannah. She is 5!!! Can't believe it! 6. I don't know that I have anything that is exciting enough to reveal, if I think of something, I will update my post!

| I guess I fall in this group. I joined in Jan. and I love it here. I read more than I post. I learn more and more here everyday and have met some great people. I've never really introduced myself either, so here goes: 1.)My name is Janet, age 51, married 32 years come Sept. and I have one 15 year old son. I have 4 Yorkies: Emilee (will be 3 in Dec.), Joey (will be 2 in July), Gidget is 14 months old and Izzie is 10 weeks. We have a 7 year old Golden Retriever named Penny. 2.) Emilee and Joey had their first litter Feb. 1, 2006. 5 girls, one passed away the next day, and of the four left, one is a chocolate. 3.) We had a Yorkie many years ago and when he passed at 15 years old, I didn't think I could get another. I've been proven wrong again! 4.) Patience, praise, love and warmth. 5.) See number 1 6.) I truly believe I saw a UFO when I was about 10 years old. I can describe everything about the experience to this day.

| I do not remember if I introduced myself or not. So here goes: 1. My name is Johnna. I am 42 and have been married since December 17, 1982. We have 1 dtr who is 19 and has been married since December 17, 2005. I have 1 yorkie Gypsy who is 14 wks, and hubby has 2 doxies who are outside dogs (given to us as outside dogs as adults, long story). Dtr and her hubby live with us and have a 12 week old yorkie Gremlin. 2. Not a breeder. 3. Looked for a small dog so I could carry easily due to physical limitations. Was looking at toy poodles when hubby fell for some yorkies at flea market. Was going to get a male from that breeder but they only had 1 male available so dtr got him. And I got the female I wanted from another breeder. 4. Best advice: Accept that they are the boss of the house and go with it. Your world will revolve around them. 5. Gave personal info above. 6. Dolly Parton is a distant cousin and we share the same birthday.

I'm 49 years old. I have one yorkshire terrier, Reuger, who is 10 months old. 2. Are you a breeder (may be helpful for thouse wanting to breed for the first time)? No, but I'd like to be. I just need permission from hubby to get a female. 3. What about the yorkie breed attracted you to them? I love the size and everything that I read about them sounded so appealing to me. I just love Reuger's personality. I love having him settle on my lap and be content to stay there. 4. Best Advice for a new yorkie owner? Definately, be patient. Be consistant with what you expect of them. They are very smart little dogs. 5. A little personal background, ie. married? single? humankids?

| 1. Name, Age, and the names of your furbabies? My name is Jessica. I just turned 34 yesterday. My little girl's name is Rhapsody, and my little boy is Tiger. 2. Are you a breeder (may be helpful for thouse wanting to breed for the first time)? No 3. What about the yorkie breed attracted you to them? I've always loved Yorkies from the first time I saw one in real life when I was a teenager. I had always wanted one, but ended up going with other breeds due to how expensive Yorkies are. Finally I have two doggies of the breed I always wanted. . . even though every dog I've ever had has been unique and wonderful. 4. Best Advice for a new yorkie owner? Give them lots of love and attention. Also training is very important; these little rascals can be very dominating. 5. A little personal background, ie. married? single? humankids? I'm divorced, however my ex and I still refer to each other as 'my husband', 'my wife'. Lol, I know that sounds weird, but we are co-raising two very young children, and we are very, very close. The only difference is that if we get tired of one another; we can just go home to our own house. Do to the kids though we normally both stay at whichever house the kids are at (like I said it sounds weird, so it's easier just to refer to each other as still married to one another. . . sigh). I have two children: My son, Jacob, is 6 years old, and my daughter, Rachel, is 5 years old. 6. Tell us some unknown truths about you. I once got married in Vegas also. We had been planning the wedding for over 6 months, got tired of the BS, and ran off and eloped, lol.

| I became an official member in Feb, read more then I post too but I don't really fit in either - I don't have a yorkie...yet. Actually (don't laugh) I have never even seen a Yorkie except through a pet shop window. So here goes... 1. My name is Kristal. I am 26 and my dog Princess Peach will come home May 7th. (who I have only seen via email ) 2. I am not breeder and never will be, I could never give a puppy up! LOL 3. We decided last summer that we were getting another dog. I have been reading and cruising the net and talking to people since then. Yorkies, to be honest, had the least amount of "negative traits" that bothered me And everything "bad" I read about them I felt I could deal with. Some other breads I can not say the same for 4. Best Advice for a new yorkie owner? Join Yorkie Talk I have learned loads! 5. I am married to my "high school sweetheart" been with him since I was 15. We have 2 beautiful children, one boy and one girl. We also have an english bulldog, tabby cat, rabbit and a purple fish 6. Unknown truths...LOL...I hide nothing, I have no unknown truths, only things I havn't had time to type yet LOL
