Thank you! Its amazing how fast they can grow on you isn't it? He's attached to my hip already. Always has to lay on my lap to take a nap. I love the little guy couldn't imagine not having him

Alot of larger yorkies are taken to rescues and shelters for that reason. I have one yorkie that is 6 lbs and one that is 11 and the 11 lb male is smarter and just an all around better dog than the smaller one. He is much better with kids and other pets also. Best of luck

I believe you when you say alot of the larger yorkies are taken to the rescues and shelters because there bigger than what they thought they'd be.. Elton already knows to get off the bed and where to go to go potty. Just overnight.. I layed down newspapers until I can make it in town to get a litter box and dog litter (its to cold for him to go outside until he's alot bigger) and put a pillow on the floor and he jumps on the pillow and goes straight to the newspaper. Our bed isn't on anything except the boxsprings so it's not a big jump. That and the pillow is less than a few inches away.. He's amazing. I couldn't imagine taking any of my animals ever to the pound. I got them all and know they have a good home for the rest of there lives.. Wouldn't ever abandon any of them. There stuck with me.

I've always thought it amazing just how fast these little yorkies wrap you around their little puppy paws! They have the BEST personalities!

Your other dogs are beautiful. I especially like the GS as I used to have a white GS yrs ago and my Shasta was my world.

I was trying to find an appropriate word to use for those pics and "trashy" is one thanks! I agree it's so much more important and nice to see pics of pups being pups playing, pictured with their mom being socialized, and not next to cans or in these bizarre glamor shots that seem to sell so well...what is wrong with people?
Good points about those pics also being misleading...hence my posting with Elvis next to a kids soda can (okay kids apple juice but my kids think that's their soda shhtttt don't tell them) and a family sized can of Campbell.

Thank you. I love my german shepherd. He's got the greatest disposition. He was the only male out of the litter and his dad ended up getting kicked by a horse and passing away a few weeks after he was born so he's the last of his generation there. There such smart dogs.

I was wondering.. I know there's been posts on here when I took pictures of Elton he had blue eyes... at least from the flash.. but i've also had quite a few pictures of green eyes too..

Eyeshine is supposed to predict coat texture and blue or green means a silk coat which is the prefered coat. Do a search on eye shine on here there are alot of threads on it

Thank you. I looked up on it and understand it. That explains why his eyeshine is both colors.. I was curious because I had a picture where he literally had one blue and one green in the same picture.. He's definetly quite the character.I'm glad to see him running around acting like a mad man. Thanks for the help again.
