There is a size limit
if they are too big you have to resize. If yhou can't resize you can email them to me and I will do it for you. Circlekranch1@cox.net

I found out on here that "irfanview" is great for resizing. You can go to IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide and download it for free. I also read on here that 640x480 is the best size to use.
BTW . . . Welcome to YT.

Hi Kelly and Welcome to Yorkie Talk. We got Bernie and little brother when he was about 5 months old. I took Bernie with me to meet the little brother, and when I saw that Bernie like him we decided to take him. Then the breeder let me bring him home for a few days before I paid her. That made the decision much easier. I didn't crate either of mine. I couldn't handle the crying either. They both sleep with us and sleep through the night!

I am also a first time Yorkie owner. My Toby slept in a crate for 2 1/2 nights. On the third night he woke up at 3AM to go potty. After taking him out to go I brought him into my bed with my husband and he's much happier and we don't mind sharing our bed with him. He is housebroken to potty outside and is well trained. We totally adore him. As far as getting a second yorkie I've heard the only thing better than a Yorkie is two Yorkies. good luck

This was an oops obviously. Sorry

I'd love to have another Yorkie, but I know Pippin would get jealous. Pippin slept in his kennel/crate whatever you call it for a night, but I didn't get much sleep because I was scared that he was going to get into things in my room. I left his kennel door open and he'd come out to potty and I'd put him back in and usually there was a toy in there that he's naw on until he fell asleep. His second night at home he wouldn't stay in his crate at all so I took him in the bed with me and he'd sleep right on my chest all snuggled under my blankets. He's been holding it through the night since he was 2 1/2 months old.

He was really easy to house break only took about two months to finally get it down that he needed to go potty outside and not inside. The first time he peed outside we gave him a treat and every time after that for a couple of days. We were taking him outside every couple of hours but one day he started going to sit by our front door when he wanted to go out so we'd let him out and he'd do his business and come back in, he won't use pee pads anymore he thinks he's better then that. When we go out we used to baby gate him in a certain area of the house but now he's got free roam of the house we just make sure every door is closed. He gets excited when we come home or when someone comes to the house and he'll pee, but only a little sprinkle. All in all he's a good dog and I love him to pieces, I even love his attitude and his personality, he fits in really well with me and my family.

Sorry for the long post. When it comes to Pippin I can go on for hours.

Hi Kelly, Welcome to YT ! Pippin sounds adorable. My Suzi was born on 3/3 2008. She is close to being exactly a yr. younger then your boy .
I know what you mean about talking about your Yorkie. I love Suzi so much too, and always want to talk about her. she is so funny, and always makes me smile at all her antics.
I hope you find YT useful and enjoy it in here !
