needing lots of information and experience! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lindabjk · 03-19-2008, 08:19 AM

hello...it was mentioned to me that i should join this site when i was posting messages on criagslist about needing yorkie information and supplies. I'm a grad studeunt about to move into at 2 bedroom apartment in the Cincinnati area...and i'm READY for a dog. I'll be living alone and will be doing a lot of my research and data entry from the apt and would really love a companion. I've always wanted a yorkie but my friends and family are all BIG dog ppl so have very little advice to give me. I've looked into a few breeders in my area (honestly not too many stand out as very caring) and have begun the search for puppy toys, bedding ( i've ordered a soft crate that travles) and accesories. Im really looking for any advice on breeders, toys, bedding, training, and any other information. Thank you so much for your time reading this

Welcome~! You'll find a wealth of information here...everyone is very generous with their knowledge. Also.... my "unbiased" opinion (not!) is that a yorkie will be a perfect companion for you, esp. if you will be home alot! They love their people!!!!

Ask away!

Welcome to YT. When I first joined I learned so much about my furbaby. This is a wonderful site! Sort of addicting..lol But wonderful people to chat with and they have tons of advice and experience with yorkies.

If you are going to be at home all the time, then a yorkie is a wonderful little person to have around. They love to be with their Mommies and Daddies.. They are cuddlers, entertaining to watch, keep you on your toes. But honestly I wouldn't want it any other way.. Odie is a wonderful little boy whom I wouldn't trade for the world.
Good Luck finding your new baby

Hi, Welcome to Yorkietalk, May I suggest you read the "sticky" at the top of discussions page called Yorkshire Terriers Frequently Asked questions. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6016 It will give you an overview of the breed and things you need to know about breeders, supplies and training. In addition there is separate forums for further discussion on in these topics. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/index.php I use the search engine frequently, and I have found it very useful in gathering information needed quickly.

I agree with the above poster who said that Yorkies need companionship. I think it's hard for them to handle being left for more than 4 hours a day. I know lots of people do it, but they usually get another dog to keep them company.

macca · 03-19-2008, 01:29 PM

hi ,
i have not been on this site long myself but the few questions i have asked have always had good helpful replies .
i am pretty new to being a mom so may not be able to help much ,but i can say that yorkshire terriers are an absolute joy ,and if you are going to be home alot they are the perfect friend .
i find macca the most loving dog i have ever come across he stays by my side all the time and often snuggles his head into my neck like he is trying to give me a cuddle, and from what i have read on this site all yorkies seem to be the same .
they are also very intelligent so needs lots of stimulation ,and although they are quite hard to traine, with persistance and love they get it eventualy as they just want to make there owner happy ,at only 6 months old macca will now sit , stay ,fetch and gives me his paw and although he has the odd accident or two he is house trained !
you cant go wrong with a yorkie if its companionship you want !
good luck with your search for your new best friend
