Hi everyone!! this is my first post in here so i will do my best lol. So I LOVE Yorkies and have always wanted one!! Well my mom finally gave in (im only 16 so my mom has to say yes haha) and im going to get him tomorrow!!!! SSSSOOOOOO EXCITED!!

His name is Max but im changing it to Logan b/c I love that name! He is 1 1/2 years old and potty and crate trained and all that good stuff BUT.....

his owner said hes food agressive! I have lived with dogs my whole life and have raised 2 puppies. The dogs have ranged in great danes to a JR/Pug but none have ever had any food problems.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on things i can do/work on with my Yorkie. He will be eating seperate from the dogs we have now (a JR/Pug, a Pitbull mix, and a Purbred Lab) b/c they all eat big food and we have smaller food for Logan. All the dogs get along fine and Logan will not be left alone un-supervised with then b/c he is so small but i dont feel like getting bit by him b/c he has food problems.

THANKS SO MUCH any advice is welcome!! Man i never thought i would finally be getting a YORKIE!!!!!! OH one more thing is 6lb a good size for one? and about what size clothes do yorkies wear?

THANKS!!!!
