would you recomend a yorkie to a beginer?

This is a very thoughtful, civil, and well discussed thread. Anyone considering getting a Yorkie for the first time would do well to start by reading this!

Good job, posters!

I would not recommend any dog to a person who can't make a lifelong commitment and properly care for a dog.

I think this just about says it all. Be it a Yorkie or a Newfoundland. It's not just the size, but the lifestyle people have and are willing to share.

I know that and it is the reason why I got a pup from you .

I think you need to make sure you have lot's of love and time for any new pet.
Reading as much as you can to understand their needs is a must, as all pets are different. Yorkies are very special, and yes they do have special needs. We have
three furbabies, all different breeds, and they are very different. We also have four different breeds of birds. They all have different needs as well. As long as you know what their needs are, I think it would be great. It takes much more then a pet here and a hug there to make a special pet happy. One last thing, I think if someone gets a Yorkie, they should join YT, you learn a lot on this site,
and make lots of on-line friends too.
