this is a great post! i agree with everything that has been said. i would also add: have a little patience with us newbies

i understand that it is frustrating to keep responding to the same questions, but it does take a while to access all the wonderful information here!
tucker is my first yorkie and i kinda got him by accident so i knew nothing from the breeder- only from the previous owners. he was 3 months old and this site has been a lifesaver!!! thank you!!!
