Thanks a lot everybody! This is really helping. Our neighbor knows of a breeder who, after her female Yorkie has had 4 litters, will give away the mother for free. If I get a Yorkie, I'll probably take one of the mothers who will be around 5 or 6 years old. I just have a few more specific questions:
How much do the yap? I've met several Yorkies, but never once have I heard them yap, but everywhere people are telling me that they do it constantly.
Are the older ones (6 years +) still active, or do they just turn into a pile of slush? I don't want them to be puppy-like or anything, but I don't want them to be lazy either.
And, believe me, there will be more questions later. Again, thanks so much!!
