| The process of picking a puppy Hi all- just curious, when you are buying a puppy, and you have a deposit on an upcoming litter, how does that work? How can you tell personality and looks so far ahead of the time that they are ready to come home at 12 weeks? |

I recently did this for two months straight. None of the breeders that were recommended had upcoming litters and some of them seemed not too....reputable. I asked a million questions and finally I found someone I clicked with. I looked at the parents, the litters of the parents breeders and the past litters of this breeder. I also snooped around on facebook and found many of the past litters that had grown up. Since I put the deposit down first I had pick of the three, two girls one boy. I kinda wanted a girl so it was down to two. I stared at the picture and went with my heart....I know that might sound crazy, but it's worked for me for forty years and 32 of them I've owned a yorkie. I asked if she could bombard me with pictures til it's time for shorty to come live with me. She told me she had another breeder that buys from her and she never once asked for a picture just wanted to know when she could pick them up, and that she really loved knowing how excited I was to be a part of the puppies life already. I can't imagine raising these midgets from birth and then passing them along. I couldn't do it. I would be a basket case, so cheers to all the breeders out there! Basically what I'm babbling at 1:50 in the morning is, if you become familiar with the breeder and it's a good breeder, breeding for temperament and health I think it's hard to go wrong. Check past litters, check references and don't be afraid to ask too many or crazy questions. I think a great breeder not only expects that but appreciates it. | |

| Yes, I understand everything you are saying. This time, I chose a well respected breeder from Yorkie talk so I am fully confident. I guess bc I already have one, I am looking more this time for a good personality match to fit well with her |

I'm sure you'll be new mom to a perfect little baby! Before I got my youngest Ruby, my Athena, RIP, would carry this little teddy around. Teddy everywhere with her. I was a little worried about personality clashes but when I brought home Ruby she was over the moon. If I left the room for 30 seconds I would come back and Ruby's face would be soaked from Athena cleaning it. They were besties. She loved her so much yet they had completely opposite personalities. I have my fingers crossed now as I wait for the next little one to get stronger that Ruby will now step into that roll of awesome big sis. I'm excited for you, and look forward to seeing pictures and hearing about your expanding family! | |

| Awww that is just precious! The wait of course is so hard. Hopefully the end of the month, the little guy will be born and then the real countdown will begin I am kind of ridiculous in that I already bought him a bed, cabinet for his things and a harness. I can't help myself. Last edited by lovestiny; 02-11-2016 at 10:02 AM. Reason: Typo |

| Awe thanks! We were in the city the other day and my youngest found a New Yorker magazine with the cover being a really old map of nyc and it has HUDSON RIVER written in the prettiest typeset, so of course we had to buy it! |
