Look what i found under my tree!!
 

I was going to adopt an adult yorkie this week (a 3yr old). Have been getting myself and my home ready for her for about a month. Anyway, it didnt work out because her family wanted her back. I understand but i was a bit hurt and sad.

Anyway, i woke up to find this little guy under my tree!! (i guess hubby felt bad):p

He is 18 weeks old and weighs about 3 pounds. I have named him "Spike" :D The name seems to suit him because he seems to think he's bigger than he is LOL Him and my shepherd are already fast friends. I'm amazed at how fast he's aclamating to us. It seems as though he was meant to be part of our family.

Anyway, I am finally an officialy yorkie owner and couldnt be happier. Thought id share with you all here - as i have lurked for weeks.

I recently viewed a thread about photo (red eye) eye colour and silky/cotton coat, but for the life of me i cant find it again. If anyone knows where it was, I would really appreciate a link.

I also have read the threads about size, if im calculating right, he should be about 4.5-5 pounds full grown? Does that sound right?

This board really is amazing, I have been trying to soak it all up. ;)

WOW! What a COOL Christmas you had! Congratulations!

Now that's what I call a Christmas gift.

What a great gift ( and sweet hubby :)) ! Enjoy your new baby.

niiccee present! :D

Now, that is the cutest christmas present ever...
hugs,

Awwwww....how sweet of your hubby! And such a cute little bundle of joy - congrats!:aimeeyork

Awwww... how sweet!

What a great Husband you have and he has such GREAT taste in presents!! Spike has the cutest face. You're so lucky...Blessings to you and your family, Barons Mom

Spike is just gorgeous! Congratulations!

As far as the eye color, I think it's green/blue is a silky coat and red/orange is a cottony coat.

I'd guess he'd be about 4-5 pounds full grown, but it does depend on his lines. Some lines stop growing early, others grow in the second year. His breeder would probably know best.

Congratulations on your little package of Christmas love! So glad to have you & Spike on YT!!

Congratulations. That was a great Christmas gift!!

Welcome to YT! Spike is one handsome young man! The thread you're looking for regarding the coat is a "sticky" in the General Forum. Hope that helps.

I think this is the thread you're looking for.

What a lovely Christmas present and what a sweet hubby you have. Your baby is a little doll. My little baby girl is 19 weeks old and she weighs 3 lb. 9 oz. I hope she reaches 4-5 lbs. BTW my son has a boston terrier named "Spike" . It is a good name. I know what you mean about the "big dog" attitude. LOL

What a lucky lady you are! Your husband is very thoughtful and your new puppy is super cute!
