After years of watching my children grow and years of wanting a Yorkie we have taken the next step. Before even finding a breeder we searched local shelters to no avail. So then I found this site a few weeks ago and while I always knew I would never buy from a pet store it was hard to tell myself a breeder would be ok. SO, we finally found a breeder with the help of this site to know who def. not to use and we found our new addition. She is in my avatar and is 5 weeks old there and about 1lb 5 ozs. She is growing like a weed and we can not wait to get her, which will still be a long while, but that is OK. We originally wanted a smaller dog but once reading here, I wanted one a bit larger to hopefully avoid problems the smaller ones have. Her parents are on site and are both right at 5 lbs maybe a tad heavier the female but not 6 lbs. I think my little girl will be closer to 6-7 lb range according to the growth chart maybe even larger and that is just super fine to me as long as she is healthy.
Thanks to this site I have found out the foods to try for her, what to have ready, and what I may need to do to care for her. We have a vet prepared and pet insurance info out the ying yang LOL. Of course the breeder has already given me info on what I need but it is nice to have so much info to back her. HOnestly, I have seen far to many people go into getting a pet so blindly and being shocked when they get them home that I did not want that for us. Better to research ahead of time and not be shocked once they get here right?
