I Really would Like a Yorkie.. is there any advice you would give too me
Are they good for first time owners?
How many walks do they need?
Would they likely get on with the families Border collies, until i was old enough to move out?
Would the Collies injure the Yorkie? the collies are all very well behaved!
I would be able to walk the Yorkie
In the Morning before School at about 7AM.
Possibly at Lunch i could come home and get a quick walk
And in the Evening at about 7pm
Thanks Everyone  ) 
I would like too know as much knowledge as possible, before i even think about buying a dog |
As long as your family is on-board with you getting a dog, I think you're at a great age to get your first yorkie! Border collies are great, intelligent working dogs and yorkies were bred to be great, intelligent small working dogs. My Nan used to raise yorkies in Yorkshire and she had many that went to local farmers with border collies, and they got along great.
It's brilliant that you're doing your research before you buy. My only advice in chosing a pup is to get a sturdy lil yorkie, not an extremely fragile teeni-tiny one. Tell your breeder your situation and she'll be able to guide you in choosing one to fit with your family.
Best of luck on your search for the perfect pup for you
