Not all yorkies are yappy, they can be; but that tiny voice will not deter an intruder, although it will alert you. My Sawyer will bark when someone comes to the door, but he is trained to then sit by the door until I answer it. I am so worried that someone will steal my baby however, that I had an alarm system installed to protect him while we are not at home, so I guess he isn't much of a burgler deterent after all LOL. The cost veries, even in the same area. Many of us have found great yorkies for 800 to 1500 dollars; but if you are looking for a dog for anyother reason than to love and enjoy, please find another breed. A yorkie is a force all his own, while requiring lots of attention and care, they are the most joyful creature you will ever bring into your home. |
Yes, I know they require lots of attention. My mother-in-law has 2 and I adore them. My husband and I plan on getting a dog to be like "our child" for a while since we don't plan to have kids for at least 2 more years. I think a yorkie will be perfect for me. Thank you for your advice. If you hear of anyone near Tuscaloosa, AL who has a female yorkie for sale, please let me know. We find out this week if we get the house or not, so it will be at least a month before we really start looking for a yorkie. Wish us luck!!!
