I just phoned and told him my new friends at Yorkie Talk suggested the dog's puppy teeth will need to be pulled and didn't say a work, he just hung up. Thanks to all of you. By the way, mom is 64, retired widow, recent double breast cancer survivor, home all day other than some volunteer work. They took out some lymph nodes on one side, so her one arm is a bit week but other than that she would make a great mom to a Yorkie. My sis and I are thinking an older Yorkie would be better so that's why I went to look at the 8 month old. |
8 months old is NOT an older yorkie. that's a baby still. i think that yorkies make GREAT companion dogs for the elderly, but usually a puppy under a year old is too much work and while tire out an older person. i would suggest finding a rescue dog in a shelter or rescue around her area and you can get a beautiful 3-8 YEAR old dog for her that might even be previously potty trained and behave well already. plus you would spend less than 400 bucks for most rescues and get a really great dog.
good luck in your search. hope you find something perfect for her.
