| Lucy was meant for me! I have looked at a LOT of local yorkies in my adventures for the perfect pup. Not only yorkies but, of course, pet shops (don't worry, I had no intentions of buying from there) tried to show me other breeds as well. Lucy was the only female in her littler along with two little boys and was about two hours away from me. The boys were both smaller than Lucy but her face was SO cute and her personality jumped out at me. Before meeting Lucy the lady I bought her from explained that the little girl was very independent and wasn't much of a cuddler. As soon as Lucy saw me, she wouldn't leave my side. When I picked her up, she started kissing my cheeks ... she looked at me with that cute face and I just had some sort of instant bond with her. Even my boyfriend said he saw it in my eyes when I saw her. For such an independent girl she follows me everywhere and whines if I'm out of her sight. Hehe. And she loves snuggling/cuddling with her daddy and me. I waited a long time, and looked for what it seems like forever. It was worth it ... even when she wakes me up kissing my face to go out potty at 6am! Hahahahaha! |

| Ok, all the stories I read on here talk about looking, seeing and falling in love. Mines different. The ad in the paper said 1 1/2 yr old male & female, must be sold together, breeders do not call. We had lost our first yorkie a month or sor earlier. I called because I wanted 2 and $600 was a good price. I went over to the lady's house, in a nice neighborhood. She said they had bought them for their children and now a big dog had moved in next door that the neighbor was not containing and she was worried they would get hurt. Now I know she was tired of dealing with puppes. In her kitchen, in a play pen were 2 puppies. We think they got them to breed, had 2 litters and decided it was too much trouble. When I got them home, OMG. Harley had such big knots, I had to take scissors to him and poor Isabel. You knew she had been to the groomer around Halloween because she had a halloween bow in her topknot. I got her at the end of February! It was so matted, I had to cut it off and she was pretty bald for a while. They were just 1 1/2 and Izzy had already had 2 litters. No vet papers, no shot records. So we feel we rescued them. I had her spayed and Harley neutered and it has been the best $600 I ever spent. I can't imagine them not being around. Harely got killed, so I startd looking for a companion for Isabel - she had never been alone - and, again, an ad in the paper - 6 mo old male, neutered all shots AKC $500. I will be honest and tell you, the price was the factor, although I was looking for a male puppy and 6 months was a good age. We got Moses - what a deal, only $500!! Well a broken leg, amputation and $1500 later, he's our sweet baby and we wouldn't trade him. But I never knew to check breeders or anything. I know where Harley and Isabel both came from, and both of them should never have been allowed to breed, Izzy has a humpback and Harley had bad knees, but still, they were so sweet I just had to have them. So now Isabel and Moses rule the house and everyone in it! |

| Arabella the great My boyfriend was with me kept asking me if I was sure and it was a lot of money to pay for a dog. His stance was if you want one get one but I'm not the daddy. After the 200th time of hearing this while I was playing with Arabella in the grass I really wanted to hit him up side the head. It was at this moment that Arabella decided to introduce herself to him. She stood up to give him the cute puppy kiss, he put his hand down to pick her up and bam she pee'd on his hand. That sealed the deal for me. A girl after my own heart. Seven months later she is the love of my life and the boyfriend is wrapped around her little paw.

| I knew I wanted a Yorkie, but it didn't matter whether a boy or a girl. My husband grew up with a girl...she was his pet for 17 wonderful years, so he had no experience with boys. Rucker, a little boy, was the last one left, so I didn't get to "pick" him, but that was ok because I think I would have ended up with him anyway! It was so meant to be. I picked him up and he snuggled in my arms as if he belonged there. I have never wished for a different dog. He has fit right into our family and into our hearts.

YT 500 Club Member | After I lost my Chloe it took a long time for me to get over it. I decided after years of girls I wanted a boy and 10 months later I called the breeder I got Chloe's dam off. He had a new litter- 4 boys one girl, already sold,- after saying hi he said I could go up when they were 4 weeks and have the pick of the boys. Now my mom being my mom said get the smallest. So I went up and was introduced to a basketfull of squirmy babies. To satisfy mom I picked up the smallest first, a boy, looked at the others with him in one hand. The breeder was saying how nice the second smallest boy was headwise, but I put them side by side and prefered the body length of the little one so I did pick him. When I put him back with his siblings he immidiatly started beating up on his biggest brother. Went to pick him up weeks later and placed him into my arm while talking to his breeder, after about 60 seconds of shaking he decided I wasn't so bad and started killing my sleeve. Incidently he was born exactly a year to the day my Chloe passed, fate. With Rosie I had been browsing sites with the I want another baby feeling. Looked at many but nothing seamed to click. Then I saw a picture of h Rosie and her brother and I just knew. My brother-in-law and sister took us up and it was love at first sight. It took her one night to get over her fear, the rest is history. She was born on the birthday of another of my previous girls. Last edited by diane boden; 03-08-2010 at 12:42 PM.
