Your name: Julie

Your Yorkie's name and ages: Mia, 7 months yesterday, 5 lbs

Where are you from:[COLOR=Teal] Originally from Burlington, Ia - SE corner on the Mississippi, but since married have lived in Mt. Vernon, IL (2 yrs), Arlington, TX (8 yrs), Phoenix (4 yrs), Cedar Rapids, IA (8 mo), Wichita KS (5 yrs) and now Rio Rancho NM - just outside of Albuquerque (almost 4 yrs)

What made you decide to buy a Yorkie: I wanted a dog for ME (thus Mia) and one that I could take with me when we travel. I taught with a lady in TX who had 2 - named 'girl dog' and 'boy dog' - years ago and they were wonderful.

Breeders: How long have you been breeding, how do you like it? What made you decide to start breeding?: I want to breed Mia, just looking for the right male to buy.

Have/do you have any other pets: Poodle who will be 15 on St. pats day - blind, deaf and lives outside/on sun porch as she has totally refused to be house trained, since day one. Still acts like a puppy. Brandy, the 103 lb chocolate lab age 7 - was a pound puppy on death row. Tiger - a hypoallergenic devon rex cat age 8 - these are REALLY neat cats(I used to raise persians). Spot - a leopard gecko. Rex a bearded Dragon. and Perky the percula clown fish. We just had our dalmation put down as when we had her 'spayed' years ago in Phoenix, they made a surface incision and took nothing out. She went septic and after over $3000 in vet bills on a 9 yr old dog the vet said " I didn't think we could save her" UGH!!!! We went through a ton of money and a traumatic 4 days to get to that point.

What are your hobbies?: I sell(mostly kids clothing) on Ebay to help pay for my son's gymnastics which is about $10,000/yr. Read a lot, Do volunteer work at the gym, and run my kids. DS #2 15 is a nationally ranked gymnast so we travel a lot - almost every weekend from Dec - May. DD 13 is a competitive fencer.

Are you married/engaged/dating/single?: Married to the same guy for almost 23 years

Does your significant other love Yorkies as much as you?: He was totally against getting another animal, but, although he would NEVER admit it, is now totally in love with Mia. He tries to hide it and it is really funny!

Do you have any children? If so, what are their ages and how are they doing with your Yorkie?: DS #1 - 18 1/2 - just moved into an apt. w/ friends, going to UNM. Keeps trying to dognap Mia and take her home. He thinks she should be named Waffles. Wants me to swear that when I breed her he gets a puppy. DS #2 - 15 1/2 - Loves her to death, but won't admit it publicly.
DD - 13 - Totally adores Mia.

Anything else interesting that will help us to get to know you better?:
