I would have brought home the other male as well, but I knew hubby was being so nice to let me bring 2 home- I didnt want to push it with 3. I recall her saying something about 7 yorkies and 4 or 5 min pins though, plus who knows how many people showed up before I did. No, I didn't get to see the inside of her house-they were brought out from there into x-pens. Yes, my gf's got a min pin each and they were just as healthy- one is a fatty though! LOL. Yes, I do have other dogs-my yorkie Holly, and my hubby has a Doberman-Bella. They are all doing really good. I was surprised-I thought they might get freaked out with dh's dobie, but they started playing right away. The only thing I am having to deal with right now is the male marking his territory (ugh) I remember this when I had Prince before he passed. I had a belly band, but a few months ago I gave it to our librarians daughter for her male yorkie. (Didn't think I would be getting another male especially so soon) So I need to find another one somewhere. LOL. But yeah other than that everything is going good!

For the time being you can purchase belly bands for the marking. I've bought mine in the past from Belly Bands*::*Yorkie Haven Rescue Boutique they are very nice quality, most are only $6 and the purchase will benefit a Yorkie rescue. The next thing I would suggest to to help with the marking is to have him neutered and so that you dog end up with puppies. How old did she say that he was? This is important because it will determine if the neuter will be successful to deter marking. Even after neutering, it will take at least a month for the hormone levels to go down to help with the marking instinct. FDogs that have been used for breeding are notorious for their marking. You should also purchase an enzymatic to clean all urine spots or the will all start to mark. :( I think someone else mentioned Petsmart for belly bands but they are very expensive but good in a pinch to at least get him under control. You really should have a nice supply so that you can change when he does lift that little leg. You can also put a pantyliner inside to help absorb his urine.

I agree to that. If we can get more people informed of the horrors of the puppymills and bad breeders than we can make a difference even if it's a small one. Like Missiemiss said this forum is supposed to be about our Dogs not about who knows who. I left that stuff in highschool.

I have been reading the post about these two beautiful yorkies that were given a new home by a member. Congrats to you and your new babies, I am sure you will love them forever.

There is an old saying and I think it applies here, THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE. Certainly getting these two yorkies has made that saying true.

So happy they are in your life and will continue to have a happy home.

Little background on me, I am a small breeder, and I gave a puppy to a handicapped girl who loves him dearly. However, I was rewarded by getting a beautiful yorkie that I show from a lady that became very ill and had to find homes for them, she charge me, but he is worth more money then I paid just by being my boy.

Enjoy your babies, I am sure you will. I love the happy ending in this post.
