Hi! we live in Richlands N.C.,just outside of Jacksonville. I decided to get Uma because my husband hes allergies, little JuJu needed a playmate, and I wanted something other than another poodle. Well, when we picked Uma up I thought she was the ugliest little thing, and big! JuJu is a 2.5 pound poodle, and 6 years old, so I was quite used to the small size. So when I saw Uma I almost sent her back!!! I think she is adorable now and so very expressive! I had never laid eyes on a yorkie until Uma. She is my little girl and I would NEVER part with her now, but the first few minutes were touch and go! She now rules the roost in less than two weeks!
