|  New Puppy owner introcuding myself Hi there ... I ran across this forum while searching for tips on puppy care and glad I found it .. lots of useful information already ... So a little about my little munchkin .. she is a Biewer Yorkie (or Biewer Terrier to be "politically correct")   She was born on the 22nd may and she came into the house on the 1st of Aug .. I've lost track of how many weeks she is but the 22nd of this month she's 3 months old ... she's an absolute fire cracker and has adapted like a fish in water to our house. She's eating well and we've got her pottying on pee pads in the bath room 95% of the time. She gets a little training treat if she gets it on the pad but nothing for the floor and she's getting it for the most part .. she has at least worked out that the bathroom is the place to go and would rather have her make a mistake in there than the carpet in the living room (we live in a pretty small apartment) She had her first vet check up (with us as the owner) and was given a big big thumbs up health wise and progress growth wise... Her name is Holly (my last name is Wood so put the 2 names together)  and she was a present from my wife and friends as a "Your alive present" .. I survived a massive heart attack on the 14th July my heart has stopped pumping on its own for 20 mins and in theory should not be here .. the doctors are calling it a miracle .... so Holly is my little angel  We have a black lab in the household that my wife owned before I was on the scene ... I always called her Forest Gump as she's a little on the slow side now I call her Forest Grump as she has pretty much growled and snapped at Holly for the past 3 weeks ... unfortunately she has not been socialized with other dogs and used to having her mom spoil her ... Fortunately Holly takes it all in her stride and just keeps trying and trying to make friends with here ... she's jump on her back when she's not watching maybe in time she'll accept the little one .. I'm a big believer in socialization with other dogs and organize as many play dates as possible with her .. once all her shots are complete I'll be taking her to dog parks to socialize with supervision of course .... Holly is already playing fetch really really well and giving the rope toy to me most times I ask for it ... she's a little brat as well and sometimes charges around the apartment a million miles an hour because she knows I want it :-) On a side note I was a joint owner of a Gold and Blue Yorkie with my then girlfriend I was so close to that little fluff bucket that I had joint ownership after we broke up (sounds crazy I know) .. in 2011 she started having epileptic fits that were very very violent ... it turned out she had a tumor on her brain .. operating was out of the picture as her little skull was to small for her to survive drilling the get to the tumor .. she was on meds for a month or so but we had to come to the hard and gut retching decision to put her down... (still get choked up thinking about it) ... Her name was Zadie ... Here is a song I wrote (very rough) with picture slide show if you are interested Here's a little video of Holly Zadie Wood (her full name) playing with a pigs ear ok I've written way to much .. I don't usually rave on this much I promise :-) cheers Stu... An

| I'm sorry to hear about Zadie. She was beautiful  ...and so is little Holly! I LOVE Biewers & would love for my next Yorkie to be a Biewer. We also have a Lab, chocolate. It took about a month for Duke & my first Yorkie (Yoshi) to bond, but once they did it was the sweetest thing. They're the 2 boys of the house (I also have 2 girl Yorkies) & they're so cute when they hang out together. Especially when Yoshi snuggles up against Duke's tummy to take a nap. It's so sweet!! Welcome to YT Looking forward to seeing pics of your little angel growing up!!

|  Thank you every one for the kind welcomes :-) ... I'm finding it fascinating how different Holly is to my Zadie Bug ... Holly is full of beans and continually up to mischief racing around the apartment .. hiding under the couch and popping out to bite the Lab's tail :-P .. she plays fetch already .. plays tug of war ... the down side of that is she can be a down right terror!! and have to correct her a lot in some cases ..... Zadie was almost the opposite .. she pretty much wanted to snuggle up against you and was mellow as they come ... she did have a barking issue when it came to some one walking past the yard or a dog walking by the back fence, so she wasn't totally mellow all the time ... she never chased a ball or played with a toy ... we'd have to run out hands (palm down) on the carpet back and forth and she'd play with your hand for a bit but that was about it ..... she was a absolute sweetheart though ... I've heard that the Biewer's have a slightly different personality to a Yorkie (proper) but who knows .. I know all dogs are different .. Thanks again .. I've been trying to post pictures in different posts but each time my browser just locks up .. also tried to create a photo album in my profile and the same thing happened .. I'll keep trying though :-) cheers

| Goodness, goodness WELCOME to YT! Wow you have quite a story there. Glad to hear you made it through your heart attack. That is truly amazing. So glad to have you here and be a part of our YT family. I’m so sorry to hear about your Zadie, these little ones leave such an impact on our lives. Just know that she will always be in your heart and soul. Forest Grump sounds like an interesting lady! It sounds like Holly will be able to crack her soon enough, and I’m sure they will be great friends. Holly sounds like a ball of energy, and so smart! I love Biewer’s- they are just so darn cute~ Looking forward in getting to know you and Holly! Welcome again!

| Well welcome to YT and RAVE ON my friend...WE ALL DO as you will soon see! I love the name Holly and I have a Holly too! My Holly is a Chihuahua that I found 3 1/2 yrs. ago 2 days before Christmas. I'm glad that you are healthy and soo sorry about your pup. I saw the video but can't get my volume to work so no sound. Probably better for me as I will tear up. Your story is bittersweet! You will love it here so good luck getting off this site when you have other thing to do!! I catch myself here way too much!

| Welcome to YorkieTalk! I'm sorry for your loss of Zadie, losing a beloved pet is never easy and I dread the day (in the very far future) that I will have to say goodbye to my baby. Congrats on your recovery and on your new baby! Holly is a doll and she sounds 100% terrier so watch out! We don't mind long posts and we LOVE pictures on here, so don't be afraid to post anything!
