Which personality..... I am going to look at pups tomorrow. There are only 2 pups and I wont have a choice because there is someone else with first pick. He says they do have very different personalities, one placid and one boisterous. He said he will be recommending the placid one to the other people as they have a young child. Is there any qualities you could expect from either... For example, will the placid one be more shy and timid, or will the boisterous one be more independent and harder to train? Can you make generalisations like this, or will they change? |
I have one of each personality! They are both very smart and train very well. The important thing is to spend time with each of them. You will know which one...They tend to instantly bond with you!:p |
My girl is very independent but at night likes to cuddle. But my boys always have to be on my lap. One of my boys Pablo is such a chicken but out of the blue he was growling at some people walking by my house...Guess my point is they change.. |
Oh, By the way..Im so glad you are going to look. This will do you the WORLD of Good...SMILE..... |
Very often a pup's personality will change once they're out of the litter environment. A rowdy pup can prevent another's personality from blossoming. Also, a very outgoing pup may calm down when they're no longer around other pups. I don't understand why the breeder would recommend a shy type pup to a family with kids. They may be too much for a timid one to come out of its shell. If you get first look, just go with your instinct. Spend a few minutes with each of them without the other one around so you may get a better idea of how they act without the other's influence. |
The shy one is bigger so maybe this is why the breeder thinks its best. I didnt ask to much about it, as I think fate will take its course. If the other person has first pick, I dont really mind. I will love each pup the same, no matter which one it is. |

Missy changed after I got her. I had picked the larger more boisterous puppy because I have 3 young children. Now she's pretty mellow and she's the smallest of the litter. |
I got excited tonight when I got the call because they werent supposed to ring to the weekend, but I am still feeling very nervous and apprehensive. It is a totally different feeling to when I went looking for Millie, but I think that is natural. I still feel guilty, I worry that other people will be thinking I can forget about Millie so quickly, I worry about what Millie would be thinking of it. But that sort of stuff can just eat you up, and everything spare minute I have when I am not working, or doing stuff about the house, I am thinking of Millie. I need this new pup to focus myself on something else. I will never forget Millie, but for some reason, she was not meant to be with us for long. |

gosh, when i picked up my dog, i didn't know which one to pick either, my fiance helped me pick because he grew up with a lot of dogs. he picked the one that wasn't acting too hyper and wasn't too scared when you separate her from her brothers and sister. milu is mostly pretty melow. she LOVEs people and she is extrememly well behaved. (i didn't even have to puppy proof the house, she doesn't take anything that's not hers, hehe) i would just try to stay away from SUPER Hyper puppies. (but i am really not an expert) lol i just know that the breeder tried to get me to also take a puppy that was bouncing off the wall. i think that hyper puppies can be a lot of work. |

Don't think anyone here would look at you harshly for wanting another baby to love!!!! You just have a heart large enough for more than one yorkie in your life!!! I think it's the most wonderful thing you can do...and a tribute to the love you had for Millie to open up your heart and home to another yorkie!!! I can't wait to see pics of your new baby!! And Congrats!!!! :) |

When I talked to my breeder, I tolder her I wanted the sweetest, most cuddly puppy. I hadn't visitied them first. Well, I got a sweet, intelligent, snuggly puppy but she is way smaller than I expected. But she has all the qualities I requested and we love her dearly! Just over cautious because of her size. But as far as personality, she's exactly what we had hoped for! |
My Aunt who lives in another province found a breeder there and we contacted them and requested the smallest female. From what I can recall she was quite mellow when my Aunt went to pick her up, but as someone metioned above she turned out to be a HYPER little thing (to the point where we were weary of other people picking her up because she would wriggle and squirm to get down and run). At 5 she still is hyper and weighs 10 pounds. Total opposite of what she started out as, but I wouldn't change it for the world. |
Millie loved you and she would never want you to be alone and so sad! It's great that you're willing to open your heart and shower a new puppy with love!!! Millie will be so thrilled to meet you both at the Rainbow Bridge someday. But for now, you can make her proud as she runs around watching you from Heaven and bragging to her doggy friends about what an awesome human she turned you into:D Congratulations on the up coming addition!!! Can't wait to see pictures. |
Well, did you get your pup... |

I believe it's hard to figure them out when they are tiny puppies , what they are going to really be like as they fully adjust into a new home, and feel secure, loved and showered with attention. :thumbup: |

The pedigree is amazing - 18 champions on one side, and 20 on the other. Both were quite balanced, they both came over to us, neither was over imposing. I dont think either has an extreme personality. I dont want to think about it too much or get too excited about it yet. It was great being around the pups and Yorkies again, and it really lifted me. But once I got home again, I felt bad about Millie again. I think I will be overly cautious for a while about getting too emotionally attached. (although it could be a different story once we get him!) |
Im so happy for you. I just know this is going to work out for you....How old are they and when is the Breeder willing to let them go to their new homes...This is Millie doing her work to make you happy.... |

I am cautiously excited. Thanks for checking back up on me! |
I am SO Happy for you. Go on and get excited...Millie has her little paw in this, I know it!! I can't wait to see pics of the new baby!! Congratulations...:congrats::yorkiesar:yay_jump::w oof::yay_jump::cheer::clapsmile |
Ooh, I can't wait to see pictures of the little guy, which ever one you end up with. You will love him no matter what. When I got Fancy there were only 2 girls left and someone bought one of them before I had a chance to look at both but I tell you when I seen Fancy for the first time it was love at first sight. I picked her up and she showered me with kisses and love. The woman selling her said she didn't act that way with the other people that came to look at her and her sister and that is one reason why they went with the other little girl. (don't know if she made that up but at that point I didn't care, I was smitten!):p Congrats and I hope the next few weeks pass by fast enough for you! |
