:wavey:Welcome to YT! Glad you decided to stop lurking:cool:.

My girls parents were 7 lbs and 5lbs. She is 12 lbs at 2.5 years.:D
Her ears never stood up, but I didnt tape them. I only kept them trimmed short. I don't care though, I'm a sucker for the floppy ear look.:p

Derby has floppy ears and an underbite!

How can we not smile when we see him? Look at this cute puppy picture of him as a little guy...

It looks like he's smiling all the time!

I keep popping in to see if you decided to purchase a new family member. Bijou has an underbite, if you look in my albums you'll see her. It's not extremely noticable. She got such a sweet personality that I love her no matter what. I'm sure you'll feel the same about your baby. Welcome to YT!!!

Oh, if you have pictures we'd love to see them!!!

Update!- we picked one!
 
Went to the breeder to see puppies today. All her dogs were in the house, living as pets (good sign #1). The females were gated off in the kitchen, but the male dogs were out in the living room where we were. All were very friendly- came right up to us wanting to be pet, etc. After she put them in another room, she got puppies out. I was sitting on the floor and both came running over to me immediately, climbed in my lap and started licking my face. Their coats were glossy, eyes shiny & clear, no discharge from noses, etc. From all outward appearances perfectly healthy. Breeder got their mother out and she too came right to me. Wasn't bothered at all that I was petting her pups, very sweet. Both girls were precious and sweet but dh thought "floppy ears" was a bit friendlier. And of the two, I thought she was a wee bit cuter. We put a deposit down and will go back on Friday with my daughter to pick her up!! (Pups are actually 13 weeks old, will be 14 when we get her.) Tried to get pics, but she wasn't very cooperative. Will post next weekend once she's "home". :)

Congrats!!!! I can't wait to see her :) What a wonderful gift you are giving your daughter.

Best Wishes!

Congrats!! :)
I would have voted for the one with floppy ears too! :D
Missy has floppy ears and I LOVE them! I think she's the cutest. :) But I might be a little biased! ;)

Congratulations! Your life will never be the same again.:D

Cha Cha 01-24-2010 08:38 PM
YAY!!! You are going to have one happy daughter with a smile on her face from ear to ear! That is so exciting and the new addition sounds beautiful!

MauiGirl 01-24-2010 09:13 PM
Congratulations, can't wait to see her.

Floppy ears are adorable too, but don't be surprised if they stand up; it's too soon to tell. Yorkies go thru so many changes in color, coat, size, ears, etc. it is hard to tell at 14 weeks just how she will end up.

Nope, not concerned with perfection appearance-wise. Our schnauzer is a horrible example of the breed standard (huge bat ears that stick up instead of folding over for one), but we think she's precious and love her!

My mini schnauzer is a not so mini at 26 pounds, but she's all schnauzer and wouldn't have her any other way.

Congrats on your new little furbaby!
Welcome to the wonderful world of being owned by a Yorkie!!:D
Can't wait to see pictures!!

Thanks from a newbie in AL!
Heck yeah do it! That is exactly how I got Gracie for only $700.00. I had to drive 4 hours, and would do it again. Gracie has floppy ears, it;s not a genetic defect, it just happens sometimes. and she HAD a tiny over bite, it has since corrected itself, which happens a lot after the baby teeth fall out.

It isn't harmful at all, and the floppy ears are ADORABLE. Check out Gracie in my album...She is a doll. Probably would be show quality if it weren't for the ears, but so what;) I don't plan to show her.

And cheaper doesn't always mean poor quality or bad breeder.
Check out this pic of her

Oh yeah that is true!! My baby, Pennie had 1 ear up and one down. I just kept massaging the ear, mainly because I liked doing it. Within a week it was straight up! So at that age massaging the ears will probably work. Keep the ears shaved too helps.

Congratulations!!! I'm sure your daughter will be over joyed! You'll have to get her on her chatting with us too. We have some younger members. Can't wait to see pictures!!!

Sometimes taking a drive is worth it. We just drove a few hrs away and picked up our boy right after Christmas! lol Congrats on your new pup

Zeus08 01-25-2010 09:39 AM
Congratulations! I am sure she is just perfect. Can't wait to see her.:aimeeyork

Congrats! I am sure your daughter is sooooo excited. Do you have a name picked out?

simbasmom 01-25-2010 11:11 AM
Congrats. Welcome to our crazy Yorkie community.

BamaFan121s 01-25-2010 03:01 PM
Hello to my 'neighbor' down the street a ways.:D Kudos to you for doing your research first, taking your time and not making a rash decision. From what you described, sounds like this breeder has an honest, valid reason for placing them as a lower price.

Just a thought/suggestion. IF for some reason this opportunity doesn't work out for you, I know there was recently a mill bust in your city and I *believe* some of those Yorkies are still getting their clearances to be placed. Just FYI

Welcome and congrats.:)

JoshieBoy 01-25-2010 03:40 PM
Congratulations on getting your new puppy. I am happy that you will be adopting a cute, sweet, and friendly puppy. I can't wait to see the pictures. :aimeeyork:love::aimeeyork:love::aimeeyork

Welcome to YT. And it sounds like you did your homework, so we can't wait to see your daughter's big smile when she gts her Yorkie.

Nope. Going to let my daughter choose it. It's her dog- present for her 13th b'day. :)

Lucy is petite for a schnauzer- 14 lbs. But she has giant ears that stand straight up and several other "faults" I'm sure, but she is very cute and as sweet as they come. Perfect to us. :)

Mommy to Chloe 01-25-2010 08:06 PM
Congrats on the new pup!!! Your life will never be the same and your daughter will have to much joy having her own little fur baby! :D We have 2 yorkies and I wouldn't have it any different!

Chloe's got 1 ear up and 1 ear down. They were both down until about 5 months when one decided it would come up and stay up. Now she is about 14 months old and she's a doll! :D

And our little Andy had his ears down when we got him and they finally came up on Thanksgiving day!!! He was around 13-14 weeks. They have been up ever since! =]

Hope to see pictures as soon as you get the little one home! :D

My Annie is 10 years old, diabetic and nearly blind but she still get around pretty good. Her momma has stand up ears, but not one of the puppies did. They are very loveable.
