Thank you for your advise and help!! I am already shopping for breeders, if I don't rescue a yorkie first. I must admit I am very excited at the thought of having a yorkie and the companionship. I try to not be a jealous person but it does get to me in a way (and sometimes it makes me feel a bit lonely) how Brandy, my BF's german shepherd, only listens to him and she seems like a yorkie herself in the aspect that she literally will follow him to and from the bathroom and wants and tries to go where ever he goes lol! The main issue I am worried about is if getting a yorkie would cause us to argue or come with too much added stress in the beginning. My boyfriend is not much of a small dog person, unlike me, and would probably joke/tease me about how great and smart Brandy is compared to my new baby (which I would not take lightly bc I am already in love with which ever yorkie I adopt or pick out in the near future and see them as my own child). I know every yorkie is different but what can I expect on how long it would probably take to potty train? I would love for my yorkie to be able to do tricks like Brandy and would these be possible?: My bf can look at Brandy (no matter where we are in the house) and say "go to bed" and she'll go upstairs and jump up on the bed. Or if we are outside he'll say "Brandy, go potty" and she'll go potty within seconds after given the command. Like I said earlier, I don't have any experience with yorkies so I do not know but are these things I could possibly teach to my new yorkie?? |
