Administrator | Choosing A Yorkie: Puppy or Full Grown? When choosing a Yorkshire Terrier, you can get a baby or you can get a full-grown one. Getting a baby is a challenge. They will need your full attention, as they will need to be fed, constantly kept busy, as well as the need to be trained. For the first few months with your Yorkie, it's best to spend as much time as possible with your baby, as it will grow loyalty early. While Yorkies are very loyal dogs, the earlier they bond to you, the earlier they will be fully loyal. If you have the time and patience and are physically able to take care of a Yorkie puppy, it should be very satisfying to raise it and see it grow. Many Yorkie owners have great joy in knowing they helped raise their Yorkie from a small baby that fits in the palm of their hand, to a full healthy, able Yorkie adult. Remember to take as many pictures as you can with a puppy, as you will definitely appreciate it later on. With the advent of digital cameras, picture taking is very affordable now. If you do go digital, remember to back up you pictures, as hard drives can often crash and lose your valuable pictures. If you choose to go full grown, do make sure it is healthy and try to get it checked out a vet. You can also rescue adult Yorkies at several Yorkie Rescue sites or the pound. They should be able to integrate into your family, but it will take a bit of time to form that bond and trust to its owner. If the Yorkie is already trained, it may still need some time to readjust to its surroundings and its new home. Do not expect it to be trained in your home immediately. http://www.yorkietalk.com/index.php?..._or_full_grown Last edited by admin; 03-16-2004 at 11:01 PM. |

| Buying new puppy I am in the process of buying a 4 month old yorkie that has grade two knees problems in both knees. The vet said the puppy would possibly need expensive surgery in the near future. I am not totally attached to the pup yet. Should i buy the puppy and are these operations successful? |
