That's nice. I really appreciate it I really do. When I decided I was going to get another dog I started looking for a good discussion forum, YT won hands down.After spending some time reading posts it was obvious the members of this forum all shared some common interests, the love of Yorkies and a strong devotion to their care. Along with that it was easy to see that the people here cared for one another as well. I am looking forward to hanging out here and sharing some thoughts and information with all of you. I know it will be a good experience.:D:D

yes i know that and i personally would not take home a yorkie puppy less than 12 weeks..
I was just trying to show support for the person.
No matter what anyone thinks a person has the right to make their own decision , that is all i meant......
Yeah, i do know about the sad situation of puppy mills.
I think its a shame , i wish it could be stopped..
Maybe someday....

I didn't think Laryngeal Paralysis was a big problem with small breed dogs? It seems to be isolated to some larger breeds from what I have read.

6 WEEKS! and the earth didn't falter on it's axis? Sunday is Milo day, I pick him up and then it's a trip to the pet store to buy a ton of stuff I don't need...gotta love it.

:p LP = Luxating patella..... or was that more sarcasm???? ;)

Congrats on the pup can't wait to see pics!!!:)

I was being a smart guy, couldn't help myself. Dogs sure have a lot of problems don't they? My camera will be busy tomorrow.

It's finally Sunday! Have fun, and please post pictures of that cute little fuzzy face. Congratulations on your new baby.

I have a Milo. I love him so much. He is almost 8 months old now. I didn't get him till he was 14 weeks old. My breeder told me not to get him out of the house until he has all of his shots. She said pee pad train don't even take him outside till he gets them all. He is great! I do need to put pic of him on here. I have a ton but don't seem to get time to do it. I guess we are always playing!!

I wouldn't tempt fate by being sarcastic and nasty about it because you could have problems. Also I would not suggest taking a pup to the pet store who has not had all of his shots but I'm sure you will not believe that either and be sarcastic and nasty about it too.

If you are referring to when I said LP I was talking about Luxating Patella. Due to my dog having come from a puppy mill and no one doing testing or even caring to check the breeding dogs for LP she has LP in both legs. One leg the ACL tore as well she had to have and very expensive surgery with a painful recovery and then the pins they put in had to come out which caused pain as well. Her other ACL is suspecting to tear with in a year. The health problems my dog has had is why I am so against puppy mills and sticking as close to the rules as possible. I knew nothing about brokers and all the things you should look for when finding a breeder. I could never imagine my life with out Callie but she has definitely had many problems. I am trying to educate you and other people so they can avoid as many problems as possible and not have to see there dog in pain and miserable like I have seen Callie like after the LP surgery and when she was sick as a pup. Most people who get there dog from either a bad breeder or a puppy mill end up not being able to afford or take care of there dog the right way when they experience some of the problems that can come with getting a pup from a mill or bad breeder.

i totally agree with you on the subject of puppy mills.
i think it is so sad but as long as the brokers keep breeding and selling to pet stores and customers turn around an buy them i am afraid it will never end,.
i love hearing on the news when a puppy mill is closed down and all those poor animals rescued.

I suppose leaving the dog outside with my friend while I go inside is out of the question...good grief.

You don't deserve any advise because the advise you don't like you are sarcastic and nasty about.

Actually, the breeder should have told you this. Your pup should be kept to it's own backyard & not put on the ground outside of your home or yard where other dogs have access to until your pup is Fully vaccinated. I was a vet tech for many yrs & I can't tell you how many pups are lost to Parvo & other canine diseases from this very thing. If you have any questions on this topic, Please call your vet to confirm. Just FYI, Parvo can live a full year in your lawn, this means if a dog with Parvo has relieved itself on your lawn the virus can still be very active & your pup is at huge risk of getting any disease/virus until it is fully vaccinated.
