Good morning and welcome from a fellow UK-er!
Brilliant news that you're doing your homework first - so many of us don't....
I'd just like to say to you, that we 'generally' had bigger dogs pre-Harry. Our last labrador developed terrible arthritis at the age of 13 - we kept her going and, of course, did all we possibly could for her. She died naturally at the age of 14, God bless her.
It was then that I decided - should we get another dog - he/she would have to be a small dog, as I have back problems and needed one that I could actually lift!
Also (after Lab-hair!!) I wanted non-moulting.
Our Yorkies DO tick all the boxes - they're amazing little dogs with hearts of gold
A huge personality in a tiny body. I truly wish you luck on your Yorkie journey, and look forward to getting to know you! Sally + Harry
