| I posted a longer, detailed reply to this thread three days ago, and it still hasn’t shown up. I’m not sure if this length of time is normal, is a function of the holidays, or if my reply was lost to cyber space. Posting a quick reply to see if it shows up... |

| Okay, it did. I’m not sure what’s going on with my replies, but let me try again. One of the earlier replies noted that with the cough, the breeder might be suspect. I totally agree. I never met the actual breeder-Cookie came to me through a friend who had her and several other puppies from this “breeder.” I suspect this is a literal, hobbyist, back yard breeder. My friend is a passionate dog advocate/lover, and she came into possession of the pups with the intent to either rehome or keep them. Luckily,they seem relatively healthy. I want to clarify something. If I had intended to get a Yorkie (or any breed), this is NOT how I’d go about it. Have you ever met a dog and KNOWN it was your dog? That it was meant for you? That’s what happened. We had no intention of getting a new pup- my 17 year old Chi passed about 7 weeks ago, and I was devastated. It was too soon. But Cookie just connected with my husband and me. She was meant for us. She needed a home and love. We realize she may have health issues, and we are committed to do whatever she needs- she was supposed to be our baby! We are now learning all we can about Yorkies to best help her have a great life. We adore her- she’s just supposed to be with us. She’s perfect❤️. Thank you All for this site- it is helping SO much. |

| I saw your other post just now. It's posted in order by the date. You said your Yorkie is younger than the breeder listed on the papers, and delayed the spay so you can have the remaining baby teeth extracted at the same time. You're having bloodwork done before the spay. This is standard procedure, so it sounds like you have a good vet. Keep us posted! |

| Aaaah! Ok, I’m getting the hang of this. Thank you guys! Lovetodream, I will ask about that. My vet said she was ok if she had a cycle before spaying, because the newer research indicates that the hormones from that cycle are beneficial to them in terms of cancer prediction. Is that not best practice for Yorkies? Thank you All- there will likely be a repetitive post due to my learning curve. |

| Thank you, Lovetodream, for the spay information and the insurance suggestion! I will look into both of these Tuesday. On a totally different note, after reading a lot of posts here, we decided to start clicker training Cookie today. Oh my goodness- it took 2 click rewards for her to “get it.” She’s so smart! I’m loving her terrier-ness:-). I am seeing why you all are so passionate for the breed. I had no idea! |

| My kiddo is very food motivated, he learns new commands and tricks in one day doing 5 to 7 minute training several times through out the day, he's 6 yo and still learning new things, I use his kibble as reward treats.

| I bought a book on clicker training. When I read “5-7 minute sessions”, like you do Matese, I wondered how any animal could learn anything in that short of a time. She showed me! We clicked and tiny-treated every outside bathroom incident today. She had NO indoor accidents! First day! I hope she’s still learning at 6 years old too:-). I just love her! |
