hello, i am brand new, this is my first note. i ran accross this website and i am very grateful for any help. we fell inlove with a little yorkie last august while in the south of france. he stole our hearts *husband and i) so we decided to get him even though it would mean a whole year of wait, why? because we live in london and they quarentene the dogs for 6 months before they can enter the uk, and the dogs need to be at least 5 months to get the vaccines, so we waited and saw him as often as we could.

spend christmas with him and at least 4 weeks in the last 8 months,,,, i know is very little but we couldnt do better. well, now i am nervious because tomorrow we are flying in to pick him up!!! so excited too, i cant wait to hold him and give him all his new toys! the problem is: is it too late to train him... the breeder sais he barks and he is well, a handful.... do you think we will bond? will he be traumatized about coming to uk and leaving his family ( he stayed with the breeder and his biological mom) all this time.

i want to do the change as smooth as possible as i dont want to hurt my pooch... please tell me how can i make it easy? i know it would have been easier and cheaper to get a dog in london but it was love at first sight, you cant go against your gut and we know he is the one!!! i adore that dog and the wait has been worth it, i just want him to be at ease.

we also have a 3 year old cat and i dont know what will happen when they meet, a bit worried but hoping for the best...

any advice??? thanks a lot!!
