I got Artie @ 4 mos. old and I had him for about a year and a half, he had serious "Seperation Anxiety" so I decided to get him a mate with the intention on "Breeding" him. I found Abigail from a Local Breeder in my Housing Complex. She was 15 weeks old when I got her but they chose each other
and have been inseperable ever since. They had puppies almost 2 yrs. ago and I kept their daughter Tiffany Aloha, her nickname is Pom Pom. She was the runt so she's only 4 1/2 lbs. compared to Artie a whopping 10 lbs. since he's been Neutered and Abigail is 7 lbs. it took her almost 2 yrs. to loose the pregnancy weight. They all Love each other and I am very Lucky that they always get along and they are never jealous of each other in any way.
I have had 5 at one time, I had to keep the 2 other Puppies she had for 20 weeks before I sold them. IMO the longer they stay with their Mother & Litter mates the better! Once you get a good Yorkie, you'll want more. If Artie was'nt such a pleasure to have I probably would'nt have wanted another one. Artie is so impressive that I have converted my Sister and Cousins to get a Yorkie, every one else I know with Yorkie's has at least 2, they are very "Addicting"!
