Default Need Advice - Possible Yorkie Adoption from a Rescue

Hello Fellow Yorkietalkers

I need some advice, the link below is for a little male Yorkie I may be adopting.

Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie: Garron: Petfinder

As some of you may remember I have an 8 month old Yorkie named SophieKate (my first Yorkie ever). SophieKate needs a companion and I have looking through the rescue sites. I happened to find Garron yesterday, filled out the application and passed the screening (I think).

SophieKate and I are going to meet Garron at the local PetSmart Adoption on Sunday. Now with that said I have some questions.

1. He was from a Puppy Mill, the screener verified this for me. I am worried if he was used as a stud will I have a problem with marking? If yes can they be trained not to mark?

2. How active is a 4 year old Yorkie? The reason I ask is SophieKate can be a spaz at times and I do not want to stress out poor Garron.

3. Besides the initial meeting how do I go about socializing Garron? It states in his profile he will need some socialization.

I am excited to meet him, he sure is cute.

Also, anyone is North Metro Atlanta they have 3 more Yorkies from Garrons home/puppy mill they are trying to place.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing your advice/response.

Cheryl
