Hi, my name's Safiyah, I'm from Longmont, Colorado. I'm new here, though I've been on for a few weeks, this is my first time posting. I am 38, currently single, and planning on getting a Yorkie, though I'm not sure when.

First I want to learn more about Yorkies, and second I want to make sure I'm ready for a Yorkie. I have to Yorkie-proof my home, find a vet, and I want to talk to the vet, to make sure they're taking new patients, etc. I want to research the breeders well, to be sure I'm getting a puppy that's well socialized, healthy, etc. I'm hoping I can find a breeder in the Colorado area so I can visit them, get a feel for things, and talk to them BEFORE I get the puppy. LOL, you'll probably laugh, but I have tyoed up a 4 page document filled with questions I want to ask potential breeders, all from information I've picked up. (I'm a bit of an analyzer, can you tell?)

I'm a nerd, I love to learn. I love reading, I've been doing it ever since I can remember, and I've read all kinds of books on dog-training, and yorkies. This site is a wonderful site, filled with information, stories, and lots of people who love Yorkies.

My kind of place. So I thought I'd say hello. I'm very excited about getting a Yorkie, and have even picked out the perfect name if it's a girl. Not sure about the boy name yet, but if I end up with a girl then her name will be Patience (grins)

Anyways, forgive the long post... I'm happy to be here.
