I have learned so much from this site since I bought Buddy. He was from
a private pet store (not a chain like Petland, Petco etc.). I knew nothing
about puppy mills or backyard breeders. I just knew I loved the look, temperment and size of the Yorkshire Terrier! I picked him out because he
was a little larger then the others and he looked like he was crying. He was
3.5lbs at 3 1/2 mos when I bought him. I was told he was breed in Budapest,
Hungary. I can not read his papers, they are in Hungarian. He also bit me several times when he was a puppy. I read many books thinking I purchased
a crazed dog. He was full of energy but seemed to learn very quickly. Have
patience, they do not know the difference between your fingers, feet or other parts of your body. You have to show them their own chew toys and
teach them that is what they CHEW, not you! They are very smart pups. With patience Buddy learned everything I set out to teach him. Today he is
a big baby 13.7lbs and ready to give love any time I want it. We are working
on his not being aggresive with larger dogs. He hates them! Puppies do not
know from anything unless the owner teaches them, just like a baby. Have
fun with your little one and have the patience to teach him what is right and what is wrong and you will be amazed at the transformation. Good Luck
