not a yorkie owner anymore We just bought a 9 week old Yorkie 3 1/2 Weeks ago and she's staying at my parents house until we move (this Sunday)...well we thought...Until we found out that our apartment policy is that the dog cannot be under 1 years old. My parents said they cannot watch her until she's 1 years old because they will fall in love with her and so they are keeping her =( I've always dreamt of having a Yorkie. I feel so crushed, like I just lost my baby. And her price was exactly at the range we were looking for too! Actually she was really cheap for a Yorkie. Now I guess I have to wait a few more years to find the perfect one again. |
Atleast your parents are keeping her so you can atleast visit!! Don't be down, it will work out when the time is right. |
I am so sorry to hear that! So, is your parents keeping her for good? |
I am sorry to hear this but better your parents than strangers. And yes, your time will come. All the Best. |

That's crappy! But at least your parents are going to take care of him, so you can still see him. I would just lie to the apartment people:D They will never know...When I moved in with my hubby before we were married, he lived in apartments that didn't allow dogs at all, and I took Duke with me anyway. There was no way I was moving without him. We lived there for about 3 years, and never got in trouble. |
I'm so sorry. What a stupid rule: if they are going to allow pets what difference does it make how old she/he is? Is there no way you could keep it and just not talk about the age? You know, small dog, may not get noticed if you aren't out much. Are you home during the day? I'm glad your parents are able to help out, but I know it's not exactly what you wanted. I hope you get your yorkie baby some day. |

I have actually done that before another time, but got caught and had to pay a deposit and monthly payment...but the manager of the apartments is not very nice here. Tomorrow I'm going to try to talk to her and see if I can change her mind. I hope she does! I love my baby yo-yo. And it sure is a stupid rule! This is the first apartment that had an age restriction. I guess she just hates puppies! UGH |
Ahhh how sad.... I must say, I am really shocked that someone sold you a Yorkie when they were only 5.5 weeks old - holy moly :eek: - Most stay with their Mommy's until at least 12 weeks - WOW I don't think the people you got her from are very responsible...to say the least :cool: Best of luck - I hope it all works out for you and she |
I know this has to be very hard, but I think the rule has to do with the fact that puppies (under 1 yr) are often not potty trained.:( However, I also know that any pet can make a mess (mine does, and she is nearly 7). I am sorry to hear this. Are there any other apartments that you can rent that will let you have your baby? |

Good Luck...you are in my thoughts and prayers!:aimeeyork |
Oh thats so sad! What a let down that must be. Well at least your parents will look after her! Don't worry maybe you will find one that's older or did you have your heart set on one that's a puppy? |
AWW:( I hope you can change her mind.. Good luck. |

I take Tucker all kinds of places he's not supposed to be. People don't even know he's there. If he's pee pad trained, they'll never even see him esp. if you live in a big apt. complex. And you can just take him somewhere outside of your complex to get him fresh air and exercise and then when he's a year old, you can tell them you have a brand new doggie ;) |
maybe your parents can buy you a yorkie when the time is right?..Is that a possibility? Or are they doing you a favor by adopting? |

Maybe I'll try that and if I get caught...then my parents can take her. But I'm afraid to get caught cuz few years ago I got caught. But she is paper trained. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try again. |
We also had a silky that traveled with us for 6 months for hubby's job. We were in countless non-pet friendly hotels. We did get caught once and had to pay a fee. We paid it, told them the dog was gone, and brought him back hours later. We just made sure to be a little more careful and stayed at this particular hotel for another month with no problems. It may seem wrong to some people, but it's what we did and I don't feel bad. Good luck with your decision. If you go into it expecting to have to pay a fee if you get caught and knowing that you have your parent's as a back-up plan, I say go for it. Also, make sure that you can't be kicked out of your place over this and that you'll only have to be a fee to pay :) |
I've never heard of an age restriction, seems silly to me. Anyway, do they already know how old your pup is? I have a really hard time telling age on yorkies.. how would they know she is under 1 yr if you don't tell them. Or do they require proof? Could you possibly find somewhere else to move? |

Well, I feel bad that you don't get to keep her, but heck...what can be better than your parents having her if you can't have her yourself? Personally, I wouldn't move where I can't have my pets, but I guess it's not so easy sometimes. I just know that if I couldn't keep mine, I couldn't even imagine a better scenario than my parents keeping them! I think you should consider yourself really blessed:D. When the time is right, you'll get your Yorkie baby.....I wish you all the luck in the world! |
problem The landlord will have no clue as to the age of your puppy if you take it in and out of your apt in a carrier. Pups grow up so fast...aside from that, I think your parents are being self-centered... |
Im sorry to hear this. :( Please remember to ask these kinds of things before getting a pet so this situation does not leave you heartbroken. Is there anyway your parents could buy your baby so you can put the money towards another one that is a year or older? There are yorkies that need to be rescued everywhere and they are usually $400 or less depending on their health. Also try a local shelter or humane society. |
I'm sorry but if I had Mufasa and THEN found out the apartment building wouldn't allow dogs under 1 year old..........well congrats Mufasa, you just turned 1. He's just small for his age! ha! There is no way in the world I could part with him. I'd fib fib fib. :mad: |

Yorkies are such small dogs how would they know if she was one year old or not? How much difference in a dog could there be in a one year old and a one year and one day old dog? What a silly rule. |
