Welcome, Kevin! I'm right there with you on being concerned after reading on the site. We don't even have our Yorkie yet (countdown less than a month...woo hoo) but we were already becoming "concerned" about the apparent fragility of Yorkies.
I've about decided though that it's because this is such a great site for research on problems and patient help from other owners that we see such a profusion of issues. At least that's what my husband and I have surmised.
I know that we will be so grateful to have a site to come to with questions and concerns. We will be venturing into unknown territory for both of us since we haven't had dogs since we were children and neither of us has ever had a house dog.
Honestly though? The longer I read and post here, the more I see that the greatest common factor in all the posts is not the issues, but the love of Yorkies. I almost wish each person who sells a Yorkie would pass along the URL of this site along with the other papers they give new owners.
Again, welcome to Yorkietalk. You're really going to like it here! |
