Introducing Purl
 

Hi All-

First off, this is my first post but I've been reading all of your great info on here for weeks as I got ready to get my new pupster. Purl is a mix: yorkie mom/ chihauhau dad, but looks mostly yorkie. I was looking for a small dog and came upon her pic. I flew down to get her in Florida this week (thanks for all of the great flying tips!) I know many of you are protective of the yorkie breed, but since I am not into into showing etc, I just wanted a healthy dog, and it looks like I got what I hoped for! A real terrific little girl. Her sibs were so great too, but she won my heart. Funny: one sister was total chi look, one chi look/ yorkie coloring and then Purl, this yorkie look a like. They look so cute together! If anyone is interested in where I got her, feel free to pm me. It was a terrific experience, a wonderful woman who was so caring about where she was going and has obviously taken great care of all of her dogs.

I have a male corgi and a female cockapoo (who is 24 pounds and 3 1/2 feet tall standing on her back legs!) They are doing really well with her, but I'm of course supervising all the time and won't leave them unattended, because accidents can happen. Surprisingly, my girl Lacey is doing better with her than my boy Simon, but nothing terrible.

I'm so lucky, I get to take Purl to work with me! So I got a sleepypod mini since it fit on the plane, can turn into a bed and is a carrier. Purl loves it! She is only nine weeks old, which is young but she readily eats solid food (like a hoover vac, haha!) and very well adjusted. Our vet was thrilled with her health and general 'sturdiness'

The pic where she is laying down is inside the sleepypod. The one with the Blackberry is just because my out of town family couldn't wrap themselves around her size (my corgi is a very sturdy 48 pounds!! And extremely fit, just the most gigantic corgi you've ever seen!)

That's my introduction...

Haha! That picture of her with the Blackberry is so cute! I love them all!

A VERY BIG YT WELCOME TO YOU! Seems like you have been doing a lot of reading so far! I have only been offline for two days and already I feel like I have so much to catch up on. So EXPLORE!

We are so glad to have you here! I hope you watch that little girl like a hawk, because she is so young and tiny! Best wishes on her health and happiness!!

She is too cute :)

Welcome and I think she'll look all yorkie.

Welcome to YT. Watch out YT'rs hide your blackberries Purl loves to eat em. LOL

Thanks everyone!

I can't help but watch her like a hawk- who could take their eyes off of her:)

I own a small hand-dyed yarn business, so the name came from my other passion (hard to knit with her chasing the needles, though, haha!) And I figured, she's so tiny that "Mini Purl/ Minnie Pearl" works just as well! I realized what an old soul I was when I said that to several of my friends and they had no idea who the comedienne was!?

I'll try to get a pic of her with the big guys- but it has me laughing so hard that I forget to grab the camera. She thinks she's one of them, of course.

Hey Jill..oh I could just squeeze her to death..and it's funny, she does look all yorkie...this is why people really need to watch out for breeders that say full blooded, even though you know she isn't, this breeder could have very easily have lied and said she was(most people wouldn't know the difference if they saw her)..if you get tired of her, send her to SC:D

She is just too cute, and it sounds like her personality is just as cute! Congradulatioins, and welcome aboard :) :thumbup:

Welcome to YT!! Purl is adorable! Looking forward to seeing more pictures!

Your not that old. I'm 28 and love love love watching Minnie Pearl. She is the greatest. Wish she was my gma. LOL what a hoot that would be.

Welcome to YT!! Congratulations Purl is beautiful!! i love her name!!!

Welcome to yt is nice to have you here with us, your baby is so beautiful:aimeeyork :thumbup:

more Purl pics
 

This is the sweater I made for Purl to fly home in- Miami to Buffalo is quite a shock! Its still too big on her, but I think it is too cute!

I hand-dyed the yarn and it is a superwash wool, like you use to knit socks. Her big sis Lacey has a cashmere version (which is washable believe it or not) but I thought that was a wee bit grand for the little one!

Thank you for all of your well-wishes everyone!

welcome to YT ,congrats on your new furbaby ,she is so cute.

This is what my daughter told me she wants she saw on somewhere. She calls them chorkies. Welcome and she is so cute. I am a knitter also.

I call her a chorkie, too. (Don't want to get beat up around here though!) If you really want to look into them, just pm me, I am so thrilled with the woman I got Purl from. Every step of the way, she did everything right.

Yeah, knitter!

She is absolutely beautiful, welcome.

I am so happy you have a new baby! She is so cute!!

Welcome to YT!

What a dollbaby she is:love: Congrats, and welcome to YT:D!

what a cutie petutie! dexter sends little puppy licks her way to welcome her to YT!

Hello and welcome. Purl looks all Yorkie to me. You sure they didn't have a male Yorkie? You know a female can get pg. with more than one male. Anyway she is just adorable.
I use to love watching Minnie Pearl, but haven't seen any of her reruns since her death in 96. Guess we don't get the old shows from the grand ol opery out here.

Aww she is ADORABLE along with her name!! Welcome on YT!

Welcome to YT!

Congratulations on your little bundle of cuteness! She looks all Yorkie to me. Very adorable.:p

So cute i wouldn't be able to stop kissing and hugging her and wow i cannot believe that she is a chorkie she looks all yorkie that is amazing :eek: And i love the name you gave her "Purl" i am 32 and i had watched minnie pearl from the time i was 5 that was until she passed away:( And that was also my grandma's name (may she also rest in peace)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAA we get to watch her grow to!!!!!!!!!!

Very cute! I love the name too. Very original.

Wow Dexter! And you are just a short scamper away in TO! Purl's a little young yet for anything more than puppy licks, though;)

I think we have won over Simon, my corgi. He just jumped up on the couch with Purl and I. Getting there!
