Hello....looks like I've found your thread too late ! Well as metioned earlier I am Debra, and I live up the road from you, though my sister lives in Findochty, and owns a shop in Cullen.
I see you are not getting a Yorkie at the moment, so just to let you know - please pm me if you decide to get one at anytime. I have three Yorkies myself (who by the way are friends with our 2 cats and large Bearded Collie) and I can tell you a lot about who to get and who not to get your Yorkie from ! I would be interested to know who you were going to purchase from too !
I'll tell you why - well yes, there are a lot of puppy farmers and scammers in Aberdeenshire, and I am aware of a few of them. I have had my first Yorkie for 7 years, since she was 6 weeks, and rescued/bought my other two Yorkies - one from near Rosehearty who was in a terrible state. The two I bought in the Central belt were fine.
A friend of mine bought one straight from a horrendous puppy farm near Inverurie - despite knowing - none of us could leave him there - in an outside pen all on his own at 6 weeks - no Mum, and those who we were told were his parents in a different building, were is a terrible state and were bred every season.
So please let me know if you plan on another Yorkie any time.
I can tell you they are good with all animals and kids, and I can advise you where not to go, and what to look out for
It would have been nice to have a Scottish pal - I seem to be all on my own up here ! BOOHOO !
Best Wishes, Debra x x x x

Hi, I too seem to have found your post too late.
Welcome anyway, even if you decide now not to stay.

I have two Skye Terriers as well as my three Yorkies & a cat, they all get on fine together. My oldest Yorkie who's 12 is definately in control & keeps the Skyes in line. We also have geese, ducks & poultry & live high on the moors in Lancashire.

At the moment they're playing tug-of-war with one of my old socks, one of the Skyes on one end & the two youngest Yorkies, 10 months & a very small 5 month old, on the other & even though the Skye is dragging them round the room they won't give up

Good luck with your recue greyhound. I hope you come & tell us how he/she settles.We adopted a rescued Old English Sheepdog several years ago, when we already had another one. She had been very badly neglected which had left her with lots of problems, she wouldn't even make eye contact & was very destructive at first . It took a long time to win her trust.
