Thank you so much for your time, Crystal is a real character and her friend much smaller and quieter, except when they unite to bark at the passers by at my friends house, or when their together at the pub, where they are quite a local sideshow. I'm viewing pups Thursday.

Yes I've had that when Crystal's friend stays here. The temporary interruption is normally better entertainment than the TV though!

My male squats to pee ( I use washable pee pads) and he never misses.
Wish I could say the same for the girls, sometimes just their front half is on the pad and the back half off but luckily most the time they get it right too.

Scrappy used to squat when he peed also, and never missed, but he had really bad knees and his rear left leg was almost handicapped. We called him the Handicapped Ninja. Oh I miss my Scrappy. :(

For the reasons already mentioned, I have not acquired a second Yorkie. However, I am forever tempted to get Teddy a companion which will also benefit me as two is more to love..


Good luck on whatever you decide to do!!!

Should you decide to go the breeder route, Teddy's breeder is currently on the KC for 1 girl or 1 boy. I would definitely recommend her. She is located in Gloucestershire and happy to give you more details if you want them.

Crystals excellent 99% of the time. Occasionally she has a brain storm and pees on one of our rugs!

I understand the bitter sweet thoughts here, I hope I go before my little girl, I'd miss her terribly.

Good luck!! I don't think you can make a "wrong" choice with this one:) I foresee another Yorkie in my future. I know they are very hard to find as rescues, but I have told my vet and all the local shelters that I would be willing to adopt an older Yorkie if there is one surrendered. So I'm leaving it up to fate. I think I would prefer to have one that is 3 yrs or younger…but, of course I'd love a puppy, lol. I also have a soft spot for the special needs puppies that no one else wants. Thats how I found Little Miss Sunshine…and she is just that..my little ray of sunshine:)

Thank you - what a smashing story. Crystal was a present for an older lady, who found her a struggle and her grandchildren who'd gifted her, very sensibly immediately offered her for sale. We found her the next week and like you we've never looked back. The one's I'm going to see were born on March the 9th, so they should be with mum until their 12 weeks I understand?

At one time I had 3 female yorkies, all 3 years apart, it took the older ones time to adjust to a new baby, when they did, they all got along, played, ate together, all had their spot on my bed for sleeping. A point came when the 2 older ones passed away 6 months apart, my youngest one was now 6 y/o and went inro deep depression, I gave her 6 months to come around but that never happened, so off I went to find the perfect play mate. When I saw Matese she was the biggest 8 week old puppy I had ever seen, I knew she would be perfect for my other pup as ahe was always the baby and a bit dominant, I knew this large puppy would not take to being bossed around. I made a great choice. My older one accepted this giant puppy, they were inseparable, I think my older one was just so happy to have another buddy in her life, she fell totally in love with the puppy. Maybe I was just lucky and had 4 sweetest girls, never a fight or a growl. Because I had 3 then 2, they never lost their bond for ME, they still preferred me even tho they loved each other. That is my experience with multiple fur babies, Good luck

Hello there nice to hear from you, hope your all well over there? Thanks for your input, I took Crystal to visit her new friend on the weekend and she was obviously missing her when she came home. At present my wife's away visiting her new grand daughter in Russia, so perhaps poor old dad's a bit boring? I love watching the interaction between these funny little dogs as well. I'll report back after I've viewed the puppy in my county (KC reg breeder) on Friday.

Didn't realize you'd already found someone - good luck

Just a look at this stage, but the pedigree is exceptional and I only say that to get a good healthy dog with a stable nature and to see the parents too.

My Yorkie mix puppies were born on March 9th! If you get one of them your puppy will be exactly the same age as ours! We are getting ours the end of May.

I saw a beautiful little girl last night with a pedigree from Ozmilion (Osman Sameja), who bred the outright champion at Crufts in '97. The Lady breeder had 3 beautiful girls and two 6 week old gems. She knows Sameja and his Dog was the stud. Home conditions were absolutely spotless and the pups reflected all the very obvious love and attention they were getting.

The little girl I saw weighed 2lbs at 6 weeks, so she should come out just over 6lbs, fully grown? That said she could eat for the world, much to her brother's chagrin! The mum was 6lbs and had beautiful slender lines and a rich lissom coat.

Are pups safe to go at 10 weeks? - I thought 12 was the safe minimum. My late wife bred Burmese cats and the kittens normally went at 10 weeks plus as the Moms got fed up with them by then normally and they were right handfuls to control - especially one litter of 7 I remember. I also have a friend who breeds miniature Doxies and they have a litter of three at the moment too, so I'm off a bit later to see them as well. I'm a bit worried here about PRA, a condition Doxies are especially prevalent too, but I've not heard of Yorkies suffering from this genital disorder inheritance?
