Hi, I am the Dad to a little girl that talks me into everything
. My 6 year old daughter pleaded with me for almost a year to get a house dog. I have not had a house dog in over 20 years, only large outside dogs. My wife was on board but it was left up to me to find the perfect lap dog. After looking at many different small dogs, I figured I would have to get a Yorkie due to their perceived intelligence and personalities. I was just really fearful of getting a "yapper" and knew that would not work.
I finally found a beautiful little puppy and brought her home. It turned out she has the same birthday as my daughter, which she was really excited about. This little girl has stolen all of our hearts with her wonderful personality. She was born March 16 of this year. I just had her spayed and did have to remove her puppy canines due to them being heavily rooted and the adults coming in. She looked like a piranha with two sets of canines top and bottom.
Not sure how she stacks up against the breed standard, but we love her. She is 3.8 lbs.
