Newbie from Finland
 

Hello to all! I’m a newbie from Finland – English is not my native language, so please excuse my not quite perfect grammar.

6 months ago my firm opinion was that any dog smaller than a cat is not a proper dog at all (please don’t give me the “evil eye” :D). Then I met my uncle’s Yorkie Jehu. We went to visit and as soon as I got through the door Jehu greeted me like a long lost friend. When I sat down, he jumped on my lap and started kissing my face with his little tang. I fell in love. At 6 pounds he is smaller than most cats but he is full of energy and joy and most definitely a proper dog.

I had been thinking about getting a puppy for quite some time, but before this spring my life was too hectic to really go forward with the puppy plans. I like most dog breeds, but I especially love terriers, so I was thinking West highlands white terrier or Cairn terrier but after meeting Jehu I knew it had to be a Yorkie.

This little boy here (I hope you can see the pic) is our new baby Watti. He is 5weeks old in this picture and still with his mom and sister. We went to see him last week for the first time. He seemed very happy to be held and play with me, while his sister had no interest in me at all. He is so tiny! He comes from a reputable breeder and will be registered to Finnish Kennel Club.

Hi and WELCOME - so great to have you here :)! Your little Watti looks just adorable, such a great face. It's funny bc I too grew up always having big dogs - but I am now totally sold on small dogs, especially yorkies...they are just such a great little breed, so fun, sassy, energetic, quirky. CONGRATS on your new baby!

Hi welcome to Yorkietalk :) Congrats on your new puppy. Watti is adorable and Jehu is a cutie.

Welcome to YT...your baby is adorable! And, so is Jehu.

And your English/grammar is great!!!!

Hi and welcome to you and Watti! Congratulations on your new pup, he's adorable. I'm sure you will love being a yorkie parent, they are so much fun to be owned by! WARNING!! Yorkies are addictive, it's hard to own just one.

Welcome to YT, Congrats on your new lil boy.your lil Watti is just precious, lil Jehu is adorable. You selected an awesome breed. Your life will be filled with many belly laughs and love. Good luck.

Welcome to YT. Both little ones are beautiful. Yorkies have such loving, big personalities, so it's impossible for me not to fall in love with them. YT is such a wonderful community of people who really care and are ready to help in any way that we can. I'm glad you found us and that you discovered how special Yorkies are. I wish you health, love, laughter, and joy with Watti.

Your Uncle's dog's coat is so very shiny,so gorgeous. The new baby is a real cutie and you have beautiful English. Welcome to YT as well and thanks for sharing the pictures with us. We would love to see more of your baby as time will allow you.

Forgot to say Watti has some roots in US. He’s grand dad is called Prestigious Turbo Charged and he was born in USA.
