| Looking for Breeders in NY (IS IT OK To Raise Yorkies in Winter??) Hello Everyone, would like information on a reputable breeder in NY area, Recently lost Guinness (7 yr old adopted yorkie) Got him as a 1 yr old pet was the best dog we every owned. (Had many medical problems - 2 kidney stone surgeries and unfortunatly he did not fully recover from his last surgery in June.) I think he was from a puppy farm, our vet said that he was very prone to illness which was not typical of this breed. His ailments however did not prevent him from being extremly lovable as he took to defending the household from pests, demanding special treatment, and disobeying almost all orders. I would like to get 2 male yorkies so they could keep each other company and was wondering if it is ok to raise yorkies in the winter, or would spring be a better option. Thanks for your help. JD |

| I got Sydney on January 12th last year. Worked out ok for us. We just got her some warm sweaters and a coat for when we were taking her someplace like the vet. And she is pee pad trained so it didn't matter for potty training. |

| NY is a tough state for breeders, in my experiences. We have some breeders on here in MD, PA, IN, and OH- you could always try them. I don't think it's a problem to get puppies in the winter, but I personally wouldn't want or expect them to go to the bathroom outside in our harsh NY winters. You could try potty pad training, at least on a temporary basis. Good luck in your search! |

| My friend and a member here, Jen, just got her little Tia. She's a tiny tiny little yorkie. She just gets to wear sweaters if she absolutely NEEDS to go outdoors for vet visits and such. Otherwise Tee tee mouse stays indoors where all is heated.
