The first time that I ever saw Livi and Huck, it was in pictures and I knew from their eyes. Harley was face-to-face and he looked just like a little Boyd's Bear and with Izzy....I don't know, I just loved her expression.

But definitely with Huck and Livi, their big round eyes!!

The breeder wanted to know if I was interested in a girl or did I want my deposit back. She said I didn't have to make a decision yet but once the puppies were 6 weeks for me to come and take a look at them. She said if I wanted one of the girls I could have the pick of the litter then. The 3 girls were absolutely beautiful and basically all looked the same except in size. There was a small, medium and large. I'm looking, thinking the small one is so cute. I'm sitting there with all 3 in front of me. I pick up the small one and medium jumps in my lap to play. I give both attention. Put both down little one walks away medium back in my lap. I set her aside pick up the large one and again medium girl jumps in my lap wanting all my attention. I fell in love right then and there with Piper (medium girl). When the day came for me to bring her home all three girls were still there and Piper (still medium sized) came running to me. It's as if she knew all along I was her mommy. I always tell people I didn't pick Piper out she picked me. I'm sure you'll know when you see your special baby that you're meant to be together.

I'm convinced that they actually pick us; not the other way around. When I went to get Max from a rescue, I went with the intention of getting another dog. I was already approved for the other dog but when we got there, he nipped at me so obviously he wasn't ready for adoption. My daughter was sitting in a chair while all the dogs were around her feet. Max kept circling around the back of the other dogs like he was trying to work his way up to the front. Man, when he had a chance he jumped in my daughter's lap and gave her the biggest kiss. So guess who we took home instead. He was so happy from the moment he got in the car. He didn't mope around or lose his appetite when he came home. It was like he fit right in.

It was luck that we got him. He had only been at the rescue for a few days. He wasn't even put up on their website yet. He has been my life since he's been in it. I just love my boy!

Hey everyone I'm loving your stories!!! I can't tell you how many times I've teared up...Beautiful stories..Just what I was looking for...Keep them coming I think they are being enjoyed by everyone......Thank you YT gang!!....Lisa

I sorta just felt a connection with them, as stupid as that probably sounds. When we got Joey, he was the only yorkie at the pet store (we didn't know any better - we were VERY naiive), but we had discussed that we wanted a boy yorkie, and he was there. As soon as I walked into the store, I saw him, and I knew he was mine. For Tank, it was only him and his brother left, and we originally considered his brother. I'm not even sure why we decided on him, but we just felt like we wanted him. When we went to pick him up, we found out that his brother had tried jumping off of something and had broken his shoulder...it just worked perfectly for us each time, confirming our gut feelings that these were the dogs that were meant for us.

My boyfriend and I drove two hours to look at the puppies when they were just five weeks old. There was three girls and a boy, and the boy was already reserved. I had wanted a girl anyway.

Well we played with the three girls on the floor for a while and my bf got attached to the bigger one because it was the most outgoing, and even though I liked the smallest one's face and how she was a little more calm and how she didnt struggle to escape my arms, my bf talked me into the wild one. So we put down a deposit and left, and had the pictures developed (the one with me and all three pups, its on my profile). And right when I saw the picture I knew I had made the wrong decision. I wanted the little girl so I called the lady and she let me switch, and she said she knew I would be calling. So that is how I ended up with Ella! She is a great little puppy... she will be one year old this month

JoeyP · 03-05-2010, 06:11 AM

My Little guys had two very distinct characteristics
My Mike at just 10 wks old ran over to me and started barking for me to play with him
And my Zack had the cutest little stand up ears

Whatever it is
You will love the one you choose

Now that I have bought a pink carrier/carseat, I am thinking maybe I should be a little more neutral with my colors just in case lol

LOL too cute!

I bought mostly everything pink too (except my car seat is beige) but I stuck to looking for my little girl.

I'm sure you guys understand what I mean...I would just like to hear your stories. What made you think of "all the puppies I've seen your the one!!!!"........Thanks guys......................Lisa

I wanted a gemini puppy and intended on naming this gemini Castor Pollux (the twin stars in the constellation of Gemini) I am the 3rd born and the darkest in my family. When the litter of Geminis were born I just went with the 3rd born... we're made from each other.

AmyChristine · 03-05-2010, 10:42 AM

When I went to pick out Maddie it was between her and her sister. They were pretty much identical from their coloring to their weight, everything about their appearance was the same. I was holding the two girls in my lap and looking them over. One of the puppies was sitting in my lap shaking and the other sat there with her tail wagging and then climbed right up to my face and attacked it with puppy kisses, she definitely chose me, I didn't have any say in it

Sweet Apple · 03-05-2010, 11:32 AM

When I went to get Apple, I bought from a "broker", but didn't know it, until I got there ...Fortunately, it worked out o.k., but I'm sure I paid waaaaay to much for her...Anyway, I digress...There were about 8-12 pups there, and Apple was the smallest, but she always got the toy, and kept bringing it back to me (and there were other adults there)...I went to get a boy, that day, but she sold herself to me...W/my buzzy boy, I heartached, for a couple of hrs., between him and his smaller brother, although, when I arrived at the breeders home, I had to make a quick potty call, as it was a long drive...Buzz quickly followed me into the bathroom (the other three didn't) and I fell in love w/his little face...I'm so glad I finally chose him, instead of his brother, because I'm still in love w/that adorable little face...I've been blessed twice!!!

When we went to pick her later to bring her home, the whole litter (3 girls and a boy) was playing and tumbling around. One stopped when she saw me, and ran up to me wagging and wiggling. Then she went back to her litter mates and started playing and tumbling, kind of taking charge over the whole situation. Then she noticed my husband, and ran over to him to greet him, then back to the litter mates to take over again. She was the "docile" one I had picked out earlier, and WOW had she changed! What spunk, just like I wanted!

None of her litter mates ever stopped playing to greet us, so I felt it was meant to be, as if she had picked us out. She was just so personable with us.

Now, months later, I realize that she didn't pick us out at all. She is just VERY friendly with all people, and so excited to see everyone, even strangers. She's such a floozie! I like that she is so friendly, but she would be awfully easy to steal, so I really need to keep her "on a short leash," so to speak.

Awww .......I had a good laugh at the floozie comment....tooo cute!!!!

Shay was only one left that the breeder had, and he had athis lil shaking thing going when he would get excited, so NO one wanted him...I found it simply endearing...LOVE at first site...he is the calmest, sweetest boy EVER.

We adopted Bella a few weeks ago, the breeder had a few to choose from...I wanted, number one, a female ( I love Pink..lol)..so there were 2 girls to choose from...Bella was just soo adorable and sweet, she gave kisses and more kisses, but was more calm then her sister, so I thought GREAT! since Shay is so calm.....LOL, boy was I wrong..she is a spitfire..lol..she has really been a breath of fresh air....Keeps me and Shay on our toes......

BellaBlue82 · 03-06-2010, 12:12 PM

Unfortunately I got my girl from Texas and I live in Las Vegas, so I wasn't able to go see her in person (don't worry, I made sure that the breeder had lots or positive feedback from other buyers to make sure she was legit, and she's a member on here, too!). The breeder sent me a pic of the four pups from her new litter. It was so hard because they were all so cute, but I chose "Lilly" out of the pack, and she is just wonderful! She plays with my kids so well, and is the epitome of a lapdog, which I love! Now, she is my Sasha, and always brings a smile to my face!

ShylahTaffy · 03-06-2010, 12:36 PM

Honestly, I saw this picture of Saphira and right away I said I have to have her! By the next day she was mine.

JukkasMommy · 03-06-2010, 09:12 PM

well i have always wanted a yorkie since i was a very little girl...I wanted one so bad that at my job i had a picture off the internet of a yorkie on the computer...well my wonderful boss was picking up her big dog from the groomers and the groomer had a litter of yorkies....So nexxt thing you know she is sending me pictures of 1 little boy and 2 little girls...she came back to the office and we were talking about them and she said "i know you cant afford to pay $750 up front so how about i pay it for you and we just take $75 a week from your check?".....well you can imagine how exciting this was to me since i have always wanted one of these precious babies!!!!!
So next thing you know we are on the way back to the groomers to take a peek at all 3 of them.....well when i got there the 2 girls were in a playpen right by the front door for all the visitors to see....THEY WERE CRAZY silly little girls jumping and playing and fighting for the attention...So i asked "where is the little boy?" and he went to the back of the shop and brought him up...
HE WAS THE SWEESTEST LITTLEST, GENTLEST BABY BOY I HAD EVER SEEN...Immediately he looked at me and licked me I knew he was the one...he was so mellow and loving i felt his love just coming off his little furry body...Now, i have my gift from god....and thats what Jukka means......I'm so thankful that this little guy is in my life and that i have such an awesome boss!!!!

This is a very sweet story...your boss is a yorkie patron. I paid for both girls on time, and now they are paid for. WHatever it takes right.
