New (all the way around) Hello All, This is probably not the place to do this but I don't see a designated intro area ....I apologize in advance if this is the wrong area for an intro! I am of course new to YT and a soon to be Yorkie Father! I am looking to get my Yorkie around the end of August, when I move to a pet friendly community. I have explored this message board and I love the sense of family and support that is shared. My name is Jay, I am a 28 year old male in SC. Currently researching everything I can before I get my baby! I look forward to getting to know you all......I'm not the only guy here, am I? lol :animal-pa Jay |
Welcome to YT! Your posting your intro in the right place and no you arent the only guy on here. We even have a guy thats a marine on here. So dont be shy post away |
Hi Jay, and welcome to YT! You posted in the right place for intros. You definitely aren't the only guy here. Besides the old marine :rolleyes:, there's a cop, a funny fella from Alaska, a wonderful newcomer from England.....lots of men on YT! |
Hello Chachi and Bonbon....thank you for the welcome! |
Welcome to YT! You'll learn lots here and make plenty of new friends! :yorkietal |
Welcome. That is so exciting to be waiting on your first yorkie. |
Thank you MyLily Rose and Patti! I am excited but its driving me crazy lol. The more I do research and see pics or videos on youtube I start wanting to get one NOW!! However, it is against my lease. Do you think I should start actively looking now or should I wait until my lease is up to start? In a perfect world, I would want to find someone having a liter around the beginning of June, then if I pick up my Yorkie after 12 weeks...that will be perfect timing! Trying to see if I should purchase here in SC, or maybe NC or ATL. |

Hey Jay welcome to YT. My advice is to start your search now It will take awhile to find the right breeder and to make sure it's a reputable breeder. Check out YTCA ( Yorkshire terrier club of america) they have a list. Once you have a few definite breeders to look into get to know them. Make sure the one you chose is someone you would want to be friends with because the most important thing about getting any Puppy is to know your breeder because they will become family. |
Hello and welcome to YT Jay!! Can't wait to see pictures of your new baby when you get him/her :) |
welcome Jay you will love this site lots of good information |
Thank you everyone!! Really appreciate it. I have a turtle now so I wonder how my Yorkie will feel about that. He pretty much stays in the aquarium so I'm not worried about safety. I just hope they can be window friends lol. |
Hello Jay and welcome to YT. I agree with the others I would start looking for a good breeder now. Once you have found your breeder you will be able to watch the progress of you Yorkie from pictures and visits so it will help with your cravings until your furry bundle comes home to live with you. One warning Yorkies are addicting and once they are in your life you are hooked! LOL |
Sending you a BIG WELCOME to YT Jay! What a great user name...lol. Can't wait to see your little one and your turtle bond...;) Be sure to post pictures when you do get that little darling. |

You're going to be a GREAT daddy, I can tell :thumbup: I was a newbie mom once and I learned and got helped so much here. So glad you're here and I don't think you're the only male :D |
Welcome to YT, new here too... it's addicting! Everyone's great! |
from south carolina to welcome Jay you will love it here so much information you can never get to read it all as each day goes by there is that much more to read I'm Pat and I'm from south carolina to |
Hi Jay! Welcome to Yorkie Talk. This is a great site with so much Yorkie information, you'll be well prepared by the time you get your little one. I have a Russian tortoise. Belle didn't even know he existed for the first month she was here. Then one afternoon she noticed him walking around his enclosure.... she growled and barked a few times and hasn't paid any attention to him since that day. Maybe you'll have better luck with your turtle and future Yorkie making friends ;) |
Welcome Welcome Jay, You came to the right place for all of your questions. Y.T. is very addicting. You are going to be a great yorkie Daddy, But be prepared yorkies are addicting. I have 4 yorkies and 1 maltese. Plus my grand pup Lilly she is a mellow jack russell. Plus I also have 4 cats. All but Jackie and Sadie are rescues. It is so nice to see new people getting yorkies. My husband, Mike who happens to be a very ill man, says yorkie owners are the most wonderful people. I agree 100%. Welcome and keep us updated on your new arrival. |
Hello and welcome to YT ! We, my two furbabies and I, are fairly new here too... it's a wonderful site, so many super nice people that sincerely LOVE dogs and especially YORKIES!!!! I have learned so much in the last couple of months. I regret that I didn't know about YorkieTalk.com BEFORE I bought my last pup. So many of my questions and concerns about the breed are right here, available any time you need it. Have a great time finding your new baby, I know he/she will have a wonderful life with you! Vicki, Tiki and Niki :aimeeyork |
Welcome to YT!! You will LOVE it here :) |
Welcome!:) We have other guys here. They may not always be posting, but they stop in when they can.;) |
Hi Jay and welcome to YT. Everyone on here is so friendly and helpful. You will find a world of information on here. Can't wait to see pics of your new furbaby. |

People have mentioned YTCA.org breeder referral pages.....start interviewing breeders. There are some great articles on how to find your breeder in the YT Library. Along with that, remember you buy your breeder first, then your dog. You aren't buying a dog you're buying a relationship for the rest of that pups life. The deal doesn't end when you walk out the door....your breeder should be available to you 7x24..... If you have any questions....ask away......the time is now to ask them, not after the purchase. There are several guys on here. Carlybaby, Steve, the x-marine, AlaskaYorkie/Mike.....to name a few...... We love the guys here....it's a great balance....... |

And, I know exactly how you feel!! I am getting one for my graduation and since I'm graduating a quarter early (next year though), I can get one this mid September!! :D I am so excited, but as I look around...it makes me want to get one NOW. But I can't, got more hard courses coming my way :( I'm knocking them out of the way so I can save the easy ones for when I get my baby. ;) I would definitely suggest looking early. Make sure you're getting your baby from a good breeder. One important thing I learned from fellow YT members is that you have to buy the breeder first. You buying a puppy from a breeder is showing support and you want to make sure you're supporting a good breeder. It would be good to reserve one so you can see his/her growth until 12 weeks, which is what I'm doing. It's SUPER exciting! Good luck with your search!! |
Wow! Thank you all for such a warm welcome. Very glad I lucked up upon such a great site with great people! I look forward to getting to know you all and your babies! Hope you have a great day! |
Hi Jay, Welcome to YT! You must be so excited to get a yorkie puppy! I am a newbie too (we only have had Teddy for a few months) and have learned so much from this website! As the others have said, start researching breeders now it is definitely important to "buy your breeder first". Teddy's breeder is wonderful we stay in touch all the time...she always wants updates on Teddy and I always go to her with any questions...we have become great friends! Wish you luck in your search and again, welcome to YT! |
Welcome to YT from Texas and thank goodness for you as we need more men!!! I know you will fall in love with your wonderful little Yorkie and have a ball with him. Beware, they are real little terriers and quite the little hunters out in the back yard - chase birds, squirrels, cats or anything that crosses their property line. And some of them don't understand that gravity applies to them!!! They have lots of attitude but love to snuggle so you are in for a total treat! |
Thank you ladies!! I keep doing research everyday (general and on finding a good breeder). I'm hoping the higher price does not always indicate a healthier Yorkie. I don't think I can pay $1000+ at this time time. I'm good with $500, especially with all the food, toys, health stuff and doggie proofing I will be spending money on. I know it will all be worth it when I have my Twix. I want a black and brown one and already have the name as Twix even though I am sure that will change LOL! |
Love it - TWIX. Cute. |
