Our first Yorkie
 

Well after weeks of convincing me and promising to do the chores (kids), my wife and daughters convinced me to get another dog.

We recently lost our Shepard Lab Nala after 14 years of a healthy life and my wife promised the girls we can get another dog to hang with Tiana our Maltese.

So I put up a fake fight and started doing my research to find a breeder that has practically 100% positive reviews. Well combing forums and various other web sites we decided to go with an Amazing Yorkie from Deb Sillers.

Don't tell the wife but I saw a picture of this cute little angle on Deb's face book page and knew that is the one we were going to get. So I just waited for the wife to stumble across the picture and I gave in and agreed to get a precious little yorkie.

So on January 30th (my birthday) I will fly out and get our precious little girl. I know shipping them is safe but I am such a softy I did not want her to be scared on the plane all alone. Especially since there is no direct flights.

Will keep you posted with pictures and more details when she comes home. For now I will put up the front like I am the big tuff guy....:D

Nice to meet all of you!!!

How exciting!

Do you have a name picked out yet for your new little girl?

Name
 

Yes we do

Her name will be Kiera Bell (Short for Bella)

Kiera was the name of the cub from Lion King (Nala and Simba's cub) where we got Nala's name from. My girls wanted the dog to be part of Nala's life. Again big softy had to go into other room to cry. Then of course agree to the name (as if I really had a choice) LOL.

Welcome to Yorkie talk, and I hope you will share stories and pics when she comes home.
How exciting.... you are so lucky to be getting one of Deb's pups!

WELCOME TO YT!

How exciting and special this will be. We love pics so please post when you can!
Don't worry those of us that have been around this breed have seen many a "tuffy" succumb - your little Yorkie will have you trained and wrapped around her paw in no time:D. And of course you will be a better person for it:)

Keep us updated!

Welcome and Congrats!

I think you are just wonderful! You obviously have a beautiful family and sincere congratulations are your new addition. I found Piper, my first Yorkie (had German Shepherds years ago) several months back and simply could not be happier or more in love. You'll be amazed at what your new little girl brings to your life; I was and am and will continue to be, I'm sure!
"Generally, or at least very often, people with a deep interest in animals are the best people around."

I very sorry for the loss of your Nala. What a special thing you are doing for your family! I hope Kiera is a special birthday gift for you, too. It sounds like Deb found her a special home.
