need advice about buying 10 mth yorkie I had thought I would wait and get one in the Summer when It would be better weather and get a baby. Well, Someone told me there was a 10mth little boy that needed a new home about 30 miles from where I live. I've called and talked to the lady, she is very kind. They take in foster children and just can't spend the time with him that she thinks he needs. She says he's is so friendly, potty trained to go on pads or out. My worry is this: Would he pine for the only family he's known or do you think he could be very happy with us? Just like a baby, I would die if I thought he was miserable and missing them. Any suggestions or comments?? Thanks, Connie Of course, I would go to see him first without making a commitment. |
Wow potty trained to go out or on pads he is a dream yorkie! I am sure he will aclimate to your family. It may take him a couple of weeks to adjust to the changes. good luck |
He's young so within a week or two I would think he will be just fine. He will have to learn to trust you first and lot's of little treats will get him there. What a dream come true. Pee pad trained and outdoors. Girl your lucky. I wouldn't hesitate if your looking for a healthy Yorkie. Make sure you get his health records. Good luck to you, |
Oh... how exciting!!! I think he will be thrilled to have someone doating on him more than he is getting now. He will be forever grateful to you. :) WAIT... CORRECTION NEEDED b/c afterall, this is a Yorkie we are talking about. He will be so happy knowing how forever grateful you are going to be for having him (ha ha ha!!!) :D |
My yorkie was 1.5 yrs old when I brought her home, she warmed up to me instantly and took a little more time with others but now you wouldn't even guess this is the same dog. She is amazing and so friendly and doesn't miss her old family at all! I say go for it if you are interested |
I say I would definitely go and check it out. The poor little guy will probably be very happy to "own himself a family." After all, we don't own them....they own us. I think he would adjust like everyone has said.....just give him a week or two. If the family he is with now hasn't had the time to give him....he will probably be overjoyed. |
I have gotten three yorkies that were over 7 months old, and have never had a problem with them adjusting. They love all the attention, and of course they miss their familiar surroundings, but should adjust very quickly. Good luck |
He's young, and if show show him lots of love and attention and he'll be fine. I got my first yorkie when he was three years old and it only took him about 2 weeks before he was running around like he had been here forever. Good luck. |
aww, he will be perfect in a few days, My Harry boy was 9 months when I got him and he is the only one that sleeps in my bed..:p he trained my hubby, AKA MR. NO PUPPIES in a week...now he is his BUD and they love each other to pieces..LOL , go see the little champ I doubt you will come home without him.. best of luck.. hugs, cArmen in nj |
Thanks to all. I will check him out. Now if I just like his looks:) |
Would I still be able to work on getting his ears to stand up? |
Yorkies are one of the rare breeds that actually do really well adjusting to new people and surrounding no matter what their age. I've had many fosters of all ages including the seniors, and never a one lost their appetite. ;) |

Thank you, I will. |
Do you have pictures already of this little one? Just wondering because you're asking about the ears, so figured maybe you have some. I'd love to see if you do! I think if you click well with this dog, you should bring him home. :thumbup: |
