[QUOTE"Yorkies are like potato chips. You can't have just one."=Lynn H.]Thank you, fasteddie. My yorkies are Maggie, 5 yrs. old in Nov. and my breeder mama. She had her 4th litter in April this year. She is about 6 lb. Then, there is Sammie, son of Maggie, who will be 3 yr. old in April '05. He is my heart. He is just 2 1/2 lb and is a proven, AKC, DNA stud. Next is Cassie who will be 2 yr. old in May 05. She will soon be going into her second heat and I will breed her and Sammie together. This, of course, will be her first breeding. Cassie is a solid y.t. girl and weighs probably close to 7 lb. My other y.t. boy is Charlie. Charlie will be 1 yr. old in Jan 05, and he is a very, tiny 2 1/2 lb.-smaller even than his Daddy, Sammie. We took Charlie as a pick of litter from Sammie's first outside siring. We took him at just 2 weeks old because the dam's owner was moving out of state, and we were afraid she was going to take off with our puppy. So, Charlie was hand raised by my husband, James and I. Charlie is my soul. The two puppy boys from Maggie's last litter (a healthy litter of 5, believe it or not) were sired by a tiny, 3 lb male. Each puppy is totally different from his brother. Huggie Bear E. Cute is so appropriately named. He is so soft and cuddly. Bear has short legs, but all my dogs are long in body. He has an adorable baby doll face, as do all my yorkies. He has an extremely laid-back personality. He will play with the other dogs, but is just as happy lounging around by himself. He looks like Maggie, his y.t. mom. Bear weighs a hefty 6 lb already, and try as we might, we could not get Mr. a bit lazy Bear's ears to ever stand up, but then again, those floppy ears seem to just add to his personality. He is a very quiet little one and would be an excellent pet for an elderly person or couple or someone who does not want that lively, energetic yorkie pup to have to chase after. Bear will sit on your lap and be petted and pampered til the cows come home! Then there is Ralfie. Ralfie is Bear's litter brother. He, however, is just the opposite of Bear. He is a slender yorkie and he was the first in the litter to want to be a "big dog". He is extremely intelligent and watches the big dogs to learn from them. He is a very quick learner, too! He loves to play with the other y.t.'s and with toys. And he loves have our attention, too. He is very kissy and loveable and has an adorable fall-in-love face! Ralfie weighs about 4 lb, a lightweight little guy with a great big personality. He is well mannered and well behaved. He is not a barker either, but will have his say only once in a while. Ralfie is a little long in leg, but I think once his coat grows out, he will appear shorter. Both boys were born on April 25, 2004, which puts them to date at 20 1/2 wks old (about 5 months old).They are housetrained to a doggie door, and if you offer a doggie litter pan, Ralfie will use it, too, if he feels the need to do so. There is no doubt in my mind that either of these puppy boys will have any trouble bonding with a new family. I am offering both of these boys with limited AKC registrations on spay/neuter contracts. For my prices you will have to email me personally. I never drop prices on my dogs,no matter their ages. I don't believe in that, just to "get rid of them". If I do not find forever homes for my puppies, then they will always have a loving forever home with us. I do not consider my boys to be too old to adopt out since I never release my puppies until they are a minimum of 12 weeks old anyway. So, that is my yorkie family for now. I am still trying to learn how to navigate this site, so I will figure out how to post photos and go to the breeder section as I get more acquainted with it. Although I have no really recent photos of Ralfie or Bear on my website, anyone is welcome to visit there to see my dogs and read more about us at

I am owner and moderator of my own yorkie group and I am a member of 11 other online yorkie groups, too! I believe in learning as much as I can about these fantastic little yorkies!
