Saying hello while doing my research... Just wanted to introduce myself! I'm a SAHM and part time photographer looking to add a member to our family. I think I've narrowed it down to a Yorkie or Yorkie mix. We spend alot of time on the sports fields and I want a lttle buddy that I can take with me. :) Let me tell you, finding a good health baby is hard work! I never realized just how much thought should be put into bringing a puppy into your home! I've still not decided if I want to go with the rescue route or with a responsible breeder. Of course, now I see how hard it is to know what a responsible breeder is. Anyway, I've come here to learn and thanks to everyone on here for being so generous with inforation that will help me become a responsible owner. |
Hi and welcome :D i am sure you will find ALL the information you need on yorkietalk!! good luck with finding a little furbutt hehe!! |
WELCOME to YT!!! I hope you love it here as much as the rest of us! I have learned a ton here and no matter which route you go, I know there will be a lot of support along the way. :D :D :D |
Thank you for the welcomes! I'm learning alot on here that isn't on the standard "breed info" pages I've come across. I really think I'm leaning towards a young rescue (hopefully!). I'd never plan on letting it breed and whenever I read rescue stories it always warms my heart. I'd like to think I did my part, ya know? I have about a month to learn as much as I can before our schedule settles down enough to bring in a new baby. |
Good luck to you. Perhaps you could find a puppy from one of our members. :) |
Hello and Welcome to YT .....;) |
Welcome! I'm glad you're doing your research and it's great that you've found us! |
Welcome! Knowledge is power! Hope you find your perfect baby! |
Welcome to YT...glad you found us! Hope you find the perfect baby one day! From everything I learn...never rush into things because it could lead to heartaches...hehe Good luck! |
Thank ya'll! I've been reading up alot and well, I'm getting nervous! Are Yorkies really that hard to potty train? :eek: I don't have a problem with being super consistent with the training but I'm worried DH might get a little bit peeved when he (because I really want a boy :) ) still isn't housebroke after oh, say a year or so! :D |
imo as long as you are consistent from the time you bring him home...he should get a hang of it...it won't be overnight but i would say within a year if even...hehe...good luck! |
welcome to YT :D It is very good your doing your research before taking home a new baby :thumbup: Yorkie's do have a bad reputation of being hard to potty train, but, it is not true for every one of them. These little guys are smart, and learn quickly :aimeeyork |
Hi and welcome to YT, from a fellow Okie! I applaud you for even considering a rescue yorkie/yorkie mix. I've recently become involved with OK Yorkie Rescue and have found fostering and seeing dogs go to their forever homes the most rewarding experience ever. I'm currently fostering a yorkie mix male, "Skip", that is adorable. He was found in a kill shelter in Arkansas and rescued by our group. Skips favorite thing to do is to play ball....he would love it on the sports fields :D Yorkies can be sometimes stubborn about potty training. But with consistency and patience they usually do get it. Good luck with your search and hope you find your buddy soon. |
Hey fellow Okie! It's great that you're doing your research before you commit to a pet. Great GREAT job on your part. I must warn you, finding a reputable breeder here in Oklahoma is extremely hard! We are one of the largest puppymill states. If you decide to go the rescue route, I wanted to make you aware of the OK Yorkie Rescue. It is a rescue founded by our very own YT members! We have many dogs and a couple of puppies if you're interested. Our website is OK Yorkie Rescue and here is our Petfinder page OK Yorkie Rescue, Choctaw, OK: Adoptable Pets: Petfinder Be sure to check us out! Good luck! |

Yay! Okies! Now you last 2 responders... that is so not nice! I'm having a hard time not scrambling out and finding one today, now you put these little cuties right under my nose! Sigh.... they are so adorable! I've been fawning over "Brody" on the OK Yorkie website. He just looks so sweet! |
2 Attachment(s) Okay, I couldn't resist....here's our ball player - Skip! |
Hello and welcome to YT!!! I commend you for doing your research 1st!!! Good luck on your quest! I know you will find the perfect buddy for you and your family! |

Haha wow! You guys are a bad as car salesmen when I walk on the lot. (I kidding really!) OK, Skip looks like he loves that ball! That would be perfect for the ball fields! jencar, are you fostering Brody? |
