He is currently on Iams puppy for toy breed but I know Iams has a lot of fillers, I was thinking og putting him on Chicken Soup for the puppy lovers soul, but wanted some opinions on food types!!

There is TONS of information about food in the "Health and Diet Section". Some people here do use Chicken Soup. I personally feed homecooked. If you can't find a recent thread that talks about it, you can try to type it into the "Search" feature at the top center-right of this screen.

Welcome to YT :)

One thing that I've been doing for the past few months as I get ready for baby is getting into the habit of immediately picking up whatever falls on the floor or if I drop something on the floor. Or if I see something tiny on the floor where baby can pick it up and put it in his/her mouth. Coins, plastics, any food/candy (especially chocolate), be conscious of food/candy that may miss the trash can, etc... Hope this helps. Lots of bending! Good exercise!;)

Cute avatar picture!! :D

Here's a link that explains a dog food grading system that you can use at least as a guideline. At the bottom, many common brands are graded for you. Chicken Soup is a good food and many people here use that. Congrats on Maxx - can't wait to learn more about you all.

Hi, I am a Newbie here and I want to introduce myself.
 
Hi, I am a Newbie here and I want to introduce myself. My name is Mel ;) & my puppy's name is Sashi Jolie. I am very excited about having her & would love to have friends here who can relate to the love shared between a Yorkie & her best friend. Her adopted parent...like myself. This is the first time I adopt a Yorkie so I am accepting all the advise & pointers you may have. I am also just learning this site:confused: so I might be a lil slow with it right now, so be patient if I don't respond to you right away. Thanks, and I hope to be of your aquaintance and make many new friends. Thanks!!

Welcome to you both! :wavey: I think you can do it right here. OR feel free to start your own thread and introduce yourself and tell us all about you and your pets. Believe me, it won't be long before you are finding your way around Yorkie Talk like a pro. One hint is to use the search function (in the blue menu bar running across he top of the page) to look for threads regarding questions or issues you're interested in. For instance, if you search on "potty training" in quotes under advance searching in titles, you're going to get a ton of good conversations that have already occurred!

Another hint when asking questions is to include how old your yorkie is and how you long you've had him/her. There are so many people here and I continue to learn so much from them. Someone will always happen along to answer your questions!

I feel so welcomed
 
Hello all my friends'

My name is Danielle. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada although originally from Los Angeles, California. As you can see I am not a yorkie owner yet. I have two of the best golden retrievers ever. Miles and Buddy. Dogs are the best friends that just listen and don't argue back. I am really glad that I found this site. The information here has been invaluable in my quest for research on bringing a yorkie into our furbaby family. If any of the experienced people can give me any advice I would be more than grateful. Thanks!!!!

Danielle

WeLoveOurYorkie 03-27-2008 08:25 AM

Hi everyone..I am new here and I have posted once before asking a few questions. Thanks to everyone for all the help they game to me..I am from Alabama and am a new Yorkie mom..I had to leave my baby for the first time Monday but, will pick him up today..My husband and I can't wait to see him again..I wanted to share something else with everyone that I thought was cute..Monday as we were getting ready to leave for our trip we were going to shower together to save time and our little one was just standing outside the glass door looking in. We opened the door and he got in the shower with us..I think we are going to make shower time a family thing now.:)

shirlblack 03-27-2008 08:25 AM

I agree. Such a nice thread and thank you so much. In the two weeks that I've been here I've found a lot of valuable information and found everyone so helpful.

My Scooter is an 'old man' now. LOL. He's 11, was 4 and a rescue Yorkie when we got him. We've had a lot of dogs in the past but I've gotten more attached to him than any of the others. He's so devoted and lovable. How can anyone not love a Yorkie?
