Hello YorkieTalk Community!
 

Hello!
A have a little female Yorkie named Sophie and she is almost 4 months old.
I'm new to the YorkieTalk community and I can't wait to get advice from you as this is all so new to me...I have never owned a pet before, not even a goldfish!
Have a great day everyone! :)

welcome to yorkie talk.
well you picked a great dog for your first pet.
yorkies are awesome...

Thank you.
Our family fell in love with Yorkies after dog sitting a 12 year old female Yorkie for a week...I didn't want to give her back!

Hello and welcome from the UK! :) :wavey:

Congratulations on your little baby - you made a wonderful choice! :D Sally + Harry :aimeeyork x

Welcome & if you are like me, by another 2 mos., you will be living and breathing all things Yorkie. When my first Yorkie was only 4 mos. old, he was still a puppy and had not come into what I would call his full "Yorkiness" yet. To me, they have to be about 6 mos. old before you begin to see all the special traits of the breed coming out in the dog and marking himself as different from every other breed. Yorkies are to me just the best of all breeds & the longer you have one, the more special they become. They are true terriers in every sense of the word and you have to watch them because of that. They are really personal dogs and shoulder your moods and problems just like a close friend or relative. They probably love to cuddle more than most dogs and love to be in near constant contact with you. You probably will never find a more loving breed. They are wonderful watch dogs and will let you know any strange sounds or strange smells on or near their property. You will learn a lot here about them here and I wish I had found this site long ago based on how much I've learned from this community in a little over a year. I hope you enjoy this site as much as we all do. Your little Sophie is truly precious!

i know , they are so sweet.
i love all my dogs but there is just something about
a yorkie face...

Thank you Sally and Harry!

Thanks Jeanie. I agree with everything you said.

I did a lot of research before choosing a Yorkie breeder and when I went to meet Sophie at 12 weeks I actually could have left with Sophie's mom and the other Yorkie dog that was there at the time too. They were all so sweet! Usually your drawn to the puppy but in this case, I would of been happy with any one of them!

I can not express how much I love Sophie so much already and it is their personality that makes them so special and sweet!


P.S. That is an adorable picture of Tibbe on your avatar!

Oscar is adorable.

welcome and congrats on your new baby girl!!!

Welcome to Yorkie Talk!:) Congrats on the new addition!

Welcome to YT :)

Thanks!
I love your avatar...your furbabies are adorable!

Thanks Dee and Lil' Louie!
Louie is adorable in his t-shirt! I can't get Sophie to let me put anything on her. :(

Hi Betty & Micah, thanks for the welcome!
How old is adorable Micah?

Welcome to YorkieTalk!! I think you will love this community... We are all very passionate about yorkies and you will learn a LOT.

Thanks Michelle, Couver & Khloe Mae (both are such little cutie pies)

I agree this is an amazing forum...I read it for a couple of weeks before getting Sophie.
At what age did Couver and Khloe Mae let you put hair 'pretties' and clothing on them? Sophie will not let me put anything on her. I try something every couple of days and cave when I see how much she hates having it on.

Well, you have come to the right place. You learn all kinds of things here.

Welcome to YT! :) Your little Sophie is adorable.

Hello and welcome, congrats on getting your first yorkie, they are adorable.

Gracie is just too cute! I love that name and it was the number one choice on my name list. Unfortunately, my kids and husband had a say in picking out her name. We all could only agree on the name Sophie...I love it now and can't imagine calling her anything but that now. :)

Thank you. I love your princess in the avatar...too cute!

Thank you for the nice welcome. Your dogs are cute! I am so glad I went with a Yorkie. They are just the cutest sweetest dogs!

Thanks. Your avatar of Yoshi? Miss Priss? has a similar face too the Yorkie we fell in love with. Too cute! I love how there are so many different looking Yorkies yet they are sooooo cute.

Welcome. This is a great site with great people. Look forward to watching your pup grow.

Thank you. How old are your adorable Yorkies? I was going to always have Sophie in that "puppy cut" but with seeing so many adorable longer haired yorkies (I LOVE your Yorkies avatar), I am considering growing Sophie's hair out!

Welcome to you and Sophie. Lol, Yorkies are different than any breed I've ever had. Most breeds want to please you, with Yorkies it's almost like they want to please themselves. It just makes them seem more independent. They are sensitive souls though, and the wrong training can end you up with a neurotic dog who suffers from panic attacks and other things. I think the best advice my breeder gave me was to ignore the potty mistakes and praise the success, and buy a big bottle of Nature's Miracle!

Welcome to YorkieTalk. Gratz on getting a Yorkie. They are such an amazing companion. I first really found out about them 20 years ago, but had another breed at the time. Then I got a close up and personal opportunity to spend time with one and that did it for me. It took my wife some convincing, but now, she'd kick me out before Bailey.

Enjoy!

Micah is 3.....I hope you like it here :)
