Hello and it's very nice to meet you all. My name is Patti and my husband and I are proud parents to Charlie, a 70lb 2 1/2 yellow lab, he is the most obedient, energetic, loyal, caring dog anyone could ever hope and wish for. Also, he is intact, has never sired (although we get asked at least once a week), nor does he raise his leg... we are truly blessed.
We have decided to expand our family because he is just so awesome, he deserves a little buddy. We researched nearly a dozen local (150mi radius) Yorkie breeders and think we found our little guy.
The breeder has over 30 years experience, only breeding Yorkies, all kept indoors , very clean, very reputable. This little boy that we fell in love with, is a bit smaller than we were originally looking for, currently 1.58lb at 9 weeks old, but his personality is identical to Charlie's. Tons of energy, very independent, much more tough then he is big
The breeder says 3 more weeks and he can be ours and anticipates, judging by his bone structure, he may only reach 3 lbs. All that matters to us at this point is that he is healthy and can live a happy full life with Charlie and us.
I would appreciate any advice on owning a smaller yorkie, bring-home introductions, and anything else I may be should consider. Thanks in advance.
