| Trust me when I say that no what kind of yorkie you get, small, standard size, large, brown, black or pink, you are going to fall in love with your furbaby! Resistance is futile (trekkie reference). He/she will quickly work their way into your heart and have you talking in a high pitched voice and saying things that you definitely don't want your golf buddies to know about. You might think you are picking the dog, that you are the one doing the rescuing but the truth is just the opposite. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Your breeder is correct...you will love Finley for who HE is! Part of the wonder of these beautiful. intelligent and loving creatures is that they are each unique, and form a magical connection with us in their own ways. I have three wonderful children who were born within the span of four years. Although raised in the same home, all of my babes were born with their own "wired in" quirks. I truly believe that there is a very strong "nature" in the nature/nurture formula. Our furry babies are the same. Have a wonderful time learning all about Finley! In short time, your devotion to each other will be the gift that helps you have only fond memories of your beloved Jami.

| To add, When ever one of my yorkies passed and I purchased another, never in my heart did I want one like the one that passed. Some years back my cousins son was going away for 2 weeks, he asked me to babysit his 8 month old little girl. He and I bought our our yorkies a week apart, my Matese was like no other yorkie I had, in looks that is, she was huge and gotten for my 6 yo girl who was grieving for 7 months over the loss of her 2 sisters that passed 6 months of each other. My cousins son's yorkie was the spitting image of my 2nd yorkie Kajon, he would bring her to my house 4 times a week to play with my Matese as the they were the same age. I would get such a pain in my heart because his girl looked exactly like my girl that I had lost 7 months earlier. The 2 weeks that I watched her she was glued to me, would not allow my 2 girls near me. She didn't have Kajon's sweet personality even tho she looked just like her. When my cousins son came to pick her up 2 weeks later, she wouldn't go to him, she clung to me, snapped at him when he tried to take her from me, he was very hurt and crying. His new wife didn't like dogs, did not want him to buy this dog, he had just lost his little girl who he loved dearly, disregarded his wife telling him not to get another dog. Now his yorkie not wanting anything to do with him, his wife tells him to just leave the dog with me since the dog loved me more then her daddy. I told him absolutely not, she looks to much like Kajon and my heart has been breaking these last 2 weeks. I told him his dog will get over me and will be his dog again. I drove his dog to his house, that was the only way we could get her home. I went to visit her every day for 2 weeks until I saw she was daddy's little girl again. I would never want a yorkie that resembled one of my passed girls. I do not compare one passed yorkie to a new one, never have, never will. Each yorkie is unique in it's own lil way, have their own personalities and quirky lil ways. You may never find one just like your passed boy, what ever you get, yorkie or yorkiepoo, just love him / her for the dog that it is.

Were I in your shoes, I'd contact those to learn more about their breeding program--if they don't have pups available, ask them for referrals to breeders in whom they trust. Another good suggestion made on YT recently was to attend some dog shows in your area in order to have some fun and meet some active show breeders. You can learn more about their breeding program face to face. Hope this helps--KatysMom | |

| Honestly they are everywhere but the reality is, you probably will not find one if you are looking to what is referred to as a reputable breeder around here because they go out of their way to ensure that they don't produce pups that end up being that big and with years of selective breeding it is possible to ensure that is highly unlikely. But do try, you make luck up! Theres always a chance they have some giant misfit pup pop up. But big yorkies are real, they are cute, and they need homes too, no matter where they come from. If you want a larger Yorkie, you are gonna probably have to..gulp! look in the classifieds section of the newspapers in your surrounding areas! Try Hoobly. Then you will have to pound the pavement visit breeders and pick one who bred dogs closer to or over the 7lbs mark who seem clean and decent. You can try rescues and the shelters/pound as well but yorkies and small dogs often go first because their size, popularity, and coats that are easy on allergies. I was open to adopting a Yorkie a while back but there were zero yorkies in my area only a few alleged crossbreeds. Even the breed specific rescues were cleaned out. That whole #adoptdontshop hashtag on Instagram works. Last edited by rjwalt; 08-13-2018 at 10:05 PM. |

| Finley is home and is fitting into the pack nicely. He is stocky; Jami was tall and lean. He is a totally different color. However, he ,like Jami, is loving, kind, responsive, and has the same depth of spirit in his eyes. So much so, I have been brought to tears many times since Finley came. As all the wise have reminded, each dog, as each human, is a unique gift. Sort of like Christmas, we get the joy of opening a present never sure if it just what we want and then we remember who made it for us and gave it to us. Finley will not replace Jamison. That is not his job anyway. He will be the best Finley he can be and I will be blessed with holding his leash. Thanks to all who gave encouragement and reminders of things I should have already known. Gew |
