Hello...
We just picked up Sophie on Friday afternoon and have been enjoying this little baby so much this past weekend! She is 10 weeks old and her brother is General Patton here on Yorkie Talk~
I had such a good time at the Breeders meeting Maria and also seeing our babies- The puppies were precious. I feel blessed to have Sophie in my life now.
I will say this...I can see a huge difference in a puppy coming from a breeder who let the puppies be part of day to day living like ours did. Sophie is so well adjusted to daily life..sounds..activities. She knows her name..runs to us when called..looks up at our face alot. We just love her calm and sweet nature.
I have had such fun dressing her. Can't wait for bows..her hair barely lets me place a bow..lol

Our kennel training is going well at night. She sleeps by my 17 yr. old daughters bed and has done so well..I wake early and get her to potty. She hasn't had an accident yet...but we go to bed late around here...usually 11:00 and I'm up at 5:00...its working well.
The food I was sent home with from the breeder was Pedigree but this little girl didn't eat it at all. I went and bought some Royal Canin puppy and she inhaled it. Wow! She won't eat the wet either..only cruching away on the dry...so how easy has that been...gosh.

I just am not certain how much she should be consuming..I'm kind of free feeding right now.
I'm not sure how to post pictures...need to learn that...Villette...maybe you can help me? LOL

I'm hopeful Sophie will grow long hair one day like some of these beauties on Yorkie Talk...I can use any tips...
I did order the day to day shampoo and conditioner along with the ice on ice...it came yesterday. Can't wait to use them ....Sophie has a soft downy coat and the breeder did tell me that I'd have to be committed on the brushing. I ordered one of Chris's Systems brushes for her also...
So nice to be part of this great group...I'm learning so much..and hopefully a pic will be posted soon...until then...you can go to the link below and click on NEW OWNERS and see both Maria and Patton, along with Sophie and us picking the pups up on Friday.
