Well, as you may tell by my avatar, I got a little puppy on the weekend.
His name is Louis but spelled Lou'e. He is the most darling and precious dog ever and I couldn't have asked for a better puppy. He is pee pad trained and very quiet but gets into his hyper bouts. He sleeps all night as well.
My boyfriend and I are absolutely smitten with him and so is everyone else that sees him.
He is a purebred Yorkie that came from a reputable breeder. I am still doing a tun of research on the breed and how to train him but so far so good and he responds to his name as well. He just needs to go for his last two shots and I will be planning on neutering him when he is around 6 months old.
I will say this, a lot of the vets that I called around my area say that there is a neutering before 12 weeks called "pediatric neutering" where a lot of breeders do it so protect their breeding lines - the only issue is that it may stunt their growth and that is not what I want.
He doesn't want to walk - but then again he is a puppy and the breeder told me that for now he should just go on his pee pad until he gets a little bit older.
I can't seem to find the Yorkies for Dummies book!! GAH! Very frustrating...I might just have to order it online.
Any other book suggestions?
Thank you everyone for your input, advice, tips and tricks. I will be on the forum more reading through everything to know that I am doing it all right!!
Lou'e says hello as well!!
