With ownership comes great responsibility. Dogs in general are a huge responsibility, Yorkies are even harder due to all of the grooming that goes along with that responsibility. Having a puppy is a full time job and as much as you feel that you are ready, ultimately the responsibility of having a dog will falls into your mothers hands since you are so young and you are still in school. There is the cost of grooming, vet cost and so much more involved in taking care of a Yorkie. The training can become somewhat aggravating when it is not going as planned. Puppies are a lot of work and take numerous hours upon hours in order to groom and train them properly. This is just my opinion, but I feel that the best time to get a puppy is during the summer months when you yourself are home and can take full charge of the training process. Having the time to train them is very important in order to set that president for future training so that everything goes well. It is those first few weeks and months of having the pup that are so very important to instill the training necessary to make sure the pup get the training that it needs. That includes potty training, obedience training and behavior training... all of these along with grooming a Yorkie take a great amount of time. Maybe in a years time you mother would have warmed up to the idea.


Take some time to do some research on the breed and on how to go about the proper training of a new puppy. Research the good the bad and the ugly on what puppies are capable of. It is a huge , huge on going task and you and your mother need to be fully aware of what to expect.
