There are to many horror stories about groomers on YT. I have groomed poodles off and on for 40 years and yorkies are SOOOOOO much easier to care for. When she was tiny I would wait until she was asleep to snip here and there.
All yorkies are toys,the other terms are used by stores and some breeders,I guess to catch your attention. There is a growth chart (possibly in the library here) that will show weeks of age and current weight then you can go down to 22weeks and gives you a weight. They are reasonably accurate,Mina followed it exactly. After 22 weeks she didnt gain much more weight,but she did grow physically. She will be 7months on the 27th and weighs just under 5lbs. She wears mostly XS.

Hi, the ebay sellers store is called "The Doggie Closet" and here is her link http://stores.ebay.com/The-Doggie-Closet?_trksid=p4340.l2563 Oh and she has yorkies too.

I had a hard time limiting myself from buying from her...all homemade and beautiful. Yeah I would prefer to learn and groom her myself. With 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls...washing and cleaning should be no different in difficultness. lol Even my boys had/have long hair that I need to "groom" everyday.

It really didn't dawn on me that she would be this little. I mean I knew she was tiny but when I seen her sold as just "Yorkshire Terrier" I kinda assumed 4-7lbs. I'm hoping she'll be at least 4 and if more than the better. But she isn't than it's ok, but I'll have her fixed. I don't want to breed her if she's too tiny. I would be too scared for her. Your puppy sounds the perfect size.
Do they have a lot of clothes for her in your area? Where around Ft. Worth do you live? I visit there every few years...and I'm about due for another visit.lol My mom and dad lives in Flower Mound. I actually love it there. Oh btw..I thought it was so cute that my mom called the other day and my 5 year old DD answered the phone...when she hung up she said "Gramma called and said she didn't want to talk to you...oh and she bought Ahi a bathing suit" I was like HUH? Thinking she was making up stories or she got the info wrong....well I called my mother and she said that she DID want to talk to me(which made my mom laugh) and my DD was right and my mom did buy Ahi a bathing suit. I was cracking up laughing. My crazy hair-brained mother. Gotta love her...she is the ultimate furbaby loving person.

Oops...sorry long story.

oops lol my 3 year old is always up here and he causes lots of typos!!!

Teresa Ford · 07-21-2011, 05:36 PM

I know how cute dresses and bows are. I would resist spending a lot until later. Gracie is still small about 4 1/2 lbs but she out grew all her xxxsmalls very fast. She is 2 yrs old and wears an xsmall in most things now.

jennzy · 07-21-2011, 05:40 PM

I got coco in March and i bought her two sweaters because it was still very cold...

She owns total of 5 clothes right now.

I will personally wait until shes about 6-8 months to go crazy with clothes because i personally think its a waste of money to get her clothes that she will outgrow soon...

I am going to wait another month before i go crazy and buy her clothes.

hope this helps!

Ahis_Mama · 07-21-2011, 06:08 PM

Thanks it does help. I have an addiction and it's shopping. But all of your support here helps.

Congrats on your new pup! Butters was 1.3 lbs when we got him at 9 weeks. He's now 8 months and weighs 4 lbs. We think he'll get to around 5 lbs since his growth progression has slowed. I'd say wait until she's closer to full size to buy clothing because you'll be surprised to see how fast our little ones grow! In a month, the stuff you buy now probably won't fit her anymore...good luck with your baby!

Washing and brushing your furbaby isn't much different than the other kids. I have 3 of each they are almost all grown,but I still cut everyones hair. Its cheaper to go see Mom than a hairstylest. I work for hugs and doggie kisses.

Mina doesn't have a swimsuit even though we have a pool. She likes to skinnydip. She does have alot of dresses,sunsuits and pjs.

Thanks for the link!

Valenie · 07-21-2011, 06:47 PM

Do you guys have life jackets???

My lil friend · 07-21-2011, 07:18 PM

Mina does not have a lifejacket. We were think of going to the beach for vacation and at that time I considered getting one. She does swim in our pool,but I am always right beside her with my hand under her.

Valenie · 07-21-2011, 07:21 PM

I was just wondering because I heard that small dogs drown easily and that is way scary to me.

My lil friend · 07-21-2011, 08:01 PM

I can see how they would get tired easially and just go under. Our pool isn't very big and she cannt get in without help. One of our poodles has to of been taught not to get in the pool unless someone is there and I still leave a float in it at all times just in case,not that ANY of the dogs go in the yard without people supervision,but stuff can still happen.

Ahis_Mama · 07-21-2011, 08:14 PM

I don't think I'll get a life jacket for her. I'll just set up the kiddie pool for her and leave the big pool for the kids. The ocean here would just be too rough and scary...heck it scares me at times. lol
