| New Yorkie owner Hi all, Greetings from the Emerald Isle! My name is Drew and our family just brought home Chester, our first Yorkie, this week. He's currently 12 weeks old, and doing great. I look forward to exploring YT and learning more about the breed. Our five year old daughter adores him, and is very gentle. We'll be starting housetraining immediately, so wish us luck. He's not doing bad so far, giving me hope for an easy training period. |

| Hi Drew.....nice to see you on the forum Good luck with the house training my 2 picked it up no problem , we used the trainning pads at n after a few first and then once all the injections were over with we just took them outside. That's great that your daughter is very gentle with them as they can be quite fragile. I'm sure as you learn more about your little guy he wont be your last yorkie.

| Welcome to YT! Can't wait to see Chester! Hope you stick around...this is a great community where you can learn a whole lot. WARNING: I started out with one little yorkie and now I have three. They are like potato chips...you can't have just one Good luck on the potty training. I have a 15 week old named Ranger who is doing well for his age I guess, but accidents do happen. They are always my fault because I let him run off in the house without watching him. One word of advice...if you have a little play pen or something like that, put him in there if you can't watch him every second. My little bugger does not like the puppy pads my other Yorkies use. He would rather go outside or in the kitchen..hehe

Greetings and welcome to YT..... you will LOVE your yorkie I am sure. We'd like pictures of the wee laddy from the Emerald Isle. My family roots have been traced to Carrickmacross, Jackson Delaney was my ancestor from there. Upon coming to America it was transposed to Delaney Jackson, thus the family last name meaning son of Jack.

| You guys are quick! Here's some pictures of Chester. I have more on flickr: Chester - a set on Flickr I have to admit I'm not Irish (though I did have Irish ancestors a few generations back). We're just Americans out exploring the world! But it's fun exploring new places. Cheers! |

| We decided since he's a purebreed that he needed a regal name. We came up with several and my daughter agreed with me and picked Chester. Fancy without being over the top. |

| Oh, we've had quite a few accidents already, but that's ok. I think he's getting the hang of things, but it's only been a week so that could be hopeful thinking. The downstairs is all wood flooring so cleanup is easy. We've already learned that he needs constant supervision. We have a small crate, and will use that as part of his training. Luckily my wife says at home so that should help out. We have a small back garden right off the kitchen so we just leave the door open giving him a chance to run around safely and do his business.
