Just over a month ago we lost our beloved cocker spaniels in a traffic accident and even though our hearts are still healing, I want to feel the love of a furry companion again. our cockers, Breeze and Jaxon were family members and so good with my daughter.

The reason I'm considering a yorkie is because, I'd like a dog that I could take with us on trips and our daily errands. A dog that is loyal and will be an "alert dog" instead of a "watch dog". I know some people feel with young children yorkies aren't the most ideal, but since my daughter has had experience with a good portion of dogs since she was two I don't think she should have an issue.

We are in GA and looking for a reputable breeder. I'd like to get an older puppy, rescue or retiring breeder/show dog. I'm also willing to travel by car to pick up our new addition if needed.

Here's a pic of our cockers!

My goodness what pretty cockers they were, every bit as beautiful as Oprah's Sophie......I'm so sorry for your loss, but if anything can cheer you up, it's a yorkie. They are some real characters. Bless you for wanting a rescue or retired dog,. You are going to make a lot of friends and win a lot of hearts on this site. Welcome.
