My mom had two little Yorkies and I fell in love with their look and their personality. I had 3 boys and felt they needed a sturdier breed so over the years we had several different dogs. The boys are all grown now, one still at home but in high school. So, the opportunity finally came to make a home for a Yorkie. The whole family fell head over heels for our first Yorkie, Maggie. If was devastating when we lost her. My dh was insistent that we get another. I was unsure at first but the void needed filling. Our dachshund and especially our Jack Russell seemed in a depression. So, our quest began for 2 that were better bred and more likely to be 100% healthy. We went on a waiting list for a female from the next litter of one breeder. I enjoyed meeting all her dogs so much, I mentioned I might someday think of breeding too. She called a few weeks later and said, now I know you want my girl and she will be yours, but I just saw a male you have to go look at. So, off we went to see him. One step in the door and my husband handed his wallet to the lady. Ben was that cute! A perfect little boy. It was 2 more months before we got our girl Sadie. I am so happy we now have a pair -- they are inseparable! And they still have plenty of love and attention for us and our other 2 dogs. |
