Well I have gotten help from everything to how to pick a good breeder, what to feed to what to expect from living with a yorkie. You can google all day about the breed but hearing real life stories (good and bad) here has helped me get what I believe is a clear idea of what I will be getting myself into when I bring my dog home.
The information here is invaulable and there are a few that even have gone beyond the threads and reached out to me personally through the PM system and as a result I feel a lot more secure about my new baby.
I came here as someone who honestly thought they knew about dogs, I have raised them, potty trained them, loved him, cried for them and everything but breed them (never did that lol) but I had never had a toy group type dog and I found out very quickly what a difference that has made in what I thought I knew lol.
I count some of you as friends already, people I know I can turn to if I am freaking out at 2am and that is so wonderful. I hope to know more of you and get to know the ones I have already met a lot better as time goes on.
I expected to gain a lifelong friend when I put down a deposit on a yorkie. I never realized I would be gaining a family.
I love YorkieTalk and even when things might have stung a little I know it was always in the best interest of the dog and frankly that is what led me here in the first place so I am ok with that as well.
