So tempting

Gypsy is such a doll. It took us a couple years to decide we were at a place in our lives with our kids in order to have a Yorkie (my favorite breed)! Even my husband. Has fallen in love with the breed too. Now that I spend more and more time with her... It makes me consider getting another, and even perhaps finding a mentor to help me find and then start showing a show quality Yorkie....

Of course the main hump is financial. I go to school, but I still have most of my day that I could devote to such a project... Anyway, I guess I'm speculating and seeing what others think

I would love to adopt another. We got Katie Scarlett as a puppy and love her so much. She is the center of our world. But I would love to adopt another yorkie from a shelter and give it a good, loving home but my husband says no. He said if we ever move into a bigger home we can but not right now. I think our home is plenty big enough but I dont want to do anything until I know he is all for it too. But one day....

When Sophie passed away Dh said no way are we having any more dogs because a month prior to Sophie's passing we had to have our black lab that we had for 12 years put down, I did not buy Scooter my daughter did and once he was there what could I do. I did however, go all the way to Canton Ohio to get Sadie Mae, even though DH told me that if I brought another dog into the home he was leaving. Well 6 dogs later and he is still here lol

I guess you always have to consider the future. Will your time at home increase or decrease? Will your employment start taking up more of your time or less. I know many people who work outside the home show dogs but those who have more free time have quite an advantage. It can be a nice hobby. It depends on how far you want to go with it. Showing a dog involves a lot of travel usually.

It really is about time and I am lucky enough to work eveings so there is someone here with the furkids while I am at work.

Very, very good point. I'll starting researching and lucking in the showing threads now, and consider the time, travel, and future time also.

Easier to get forgiveness than permission. LOL

My daughter did just that, she adopted a 5 month old maltese, love it...I too would love another yorkie and adoption would be the route that I would take.
