| Breed Specific Good morning yorkie family from freezing cold Memphis. This discussion has taken place on here before about breed specific rescue groups.....but I just saw a story on Early Today about a whole plane full of chiuaua that were sent to new homes in New York and somewhere else from California..... This was attributed to people buying them in droves after they were used as a fashion accessory by Paris Hilton. They said that then the people saw how they need a great deal of attention and hands on, tired of them, and gave them up in droves. This is so sad, but I am glad that rescues are in place to help these little ones. They were awfully cute. It suffices to say that one should know about a breed before getting one. It would be like getting a yorkie without understanding that you have to comb that hair everyday and all the other stuff they require.

| How sad it is that people get a dog just because some star has it, or they just made a movie with that kind of dog in it. Any animal is a lot of work if you take care of it correctly. That is the reason why puppy mills and BYB stay in business.

| This is why I shuddered when that nut case Brittney Spears got a Yorkie after her husband took the kids.

| That was a great story., She's a nice actress, I like her in the roles she plays, but this one was very nice. Do any of your yorkie owners have one of these guys too???

| There are two little girls (sisters) in the neighborhood that we usually see when I take Buster & Maggie for a walk. They are always petting Buster & Maggie and trying to play with them. They wanted a small dog. Their parents bought them a Chihuahua. He did not stay small, he started growing and they quickly lost interest. The last time I saw them (it's been too cold here to walk, brrr), the mom offered me the dog as she rode off on her bike. The little girls told me they were going to sell him. Why? because he pees in the house. They were keeping him in the garage and not bothering to train him or teach him to be a good dog. Too sad. I will take the dog if they offer him to me again.
