First Welcome to Yorkie talk!!
Secondly Congrats for putting in alot of effort before jumping in and just purchasing a dog.
Let me tell you about my dog.. I was not a " dog " person or so I thought, I got her because I was sick with cancer, best decision I have ever made, that said I never new what a commintment it was going to be. Honestly It is NO different then having another child. To me she is the best dog in the world, she is not " champion stock by certificate but in my eyes she is!! She is very needy , does not like to be left home alone, I cook for her, she comes with me in the car just about every where I go, we go to the dog park or for a long walk every day. I am the CRAZY lady outside at 6 am in my pajamas playing fetch. I am home all day and I dont think she would have it any other way
, I had already planned on going back to work but had a schedule already figured out, I only work .4 miles down the street from my house and have to be at work at 9 am , I take a hour lunch from 12-1 and my daughter is home at 2 30 and Im home at 430 from work...I would not have gotten her had that not been the case, I do think yorkies are a very NEEDY breed and like to be with thier owners, however there are many that work full time.. ( so this is just my preference), my dog is also 100% outside potty trained and has been since about 7 months old, she does not bark unless it is warrented , ( a strange noise) or warning... I have a very good friend actually my best friend who got a yorkie the same week that I did , she had to surrender him last week because she didnt realize the time and commintment and needs of this type of dog. He hated to be left alone, he barked alot , he never got potty trained but she was trying to work full time and had children and left him home alot more then she should have.
ON that note, YORKIES are the best dog EVER, I love my dog as much as my children. She has brought me so much happiness when I didnt have any and when I was very very sick.. She is the perfect yorkie in my eyes!!
