CHECK THIS OUT! My baby is flying in from Hungary within a month or two!

Congrat's. She is cute.

I can't see the moher but the father is georgous. I have rarely seen a Yorkie with the tail intact but he is a beautiful dog.

I am sure the little princess will grow up to be the spitting image of him........

hope the months flies by....

Yes, I do know that it is more painful. Poor girl, but I would imagine that it isn't any more uncomfortable than having a tooth pulled for some, or being spayed. While both are done more for health reasons that aesthetic ones, the pain level I would imagine would be similar.
... I'm going to have it done (most likely) anyway. Sorry little tail!
I'll be sure she has pain medication if the vet says she can have it.

JMO..but do not wait until a year to remove any retained teeth..by then the bite can be ruined.

[yorkieK9trainer]

I know, I made an assumption that people would understand what I meant. The point is that I would be waiting until they did need to be removed, if at all. If none are to be removed, then I'll still wait until she more mature physically before I submit her to any sedation.

I can't agree that it is "very painful to have a tail removed." I had a cat's tail removed when it was about 4 years old - and years later, I had the better part of a dog's tail removed at 7 years old. Both of these surgeries were necessary amputations. The cat had been in a fight with a racoon. And, the poor dog - was hit by a car - with the only injury being his tail.

Anyway - both of these pets came home to a quite comfortable and speedy recovery. I remember my dog wagging (what was left of his tail) like crazy the day after his surgery... neither of these pets seemed very uncomfortable at all and healed quickly.

I think this might be far less painful than docking a young puppy's tail without putting it to sleep....which is often done.

When I shipped my two from Hungary, I used Air France. They are a division of Delta. They will most likely go thru Charles De Gaul (sp?) in France before coming to the US, at least mine did. They'll have to go to a MAJOR US city though before going on to the interior cities, so be prepared to possibly hire a kennel in the city that you import them to get them thru US Customs and then get them on to the carrier that will bring them on to you. That's exactly what I did. I had a kennel in Atlanta, which was my city of import, go to the airport, get my dogs off of the flight from Paris France, take them thru Customs, then take them to their kennel, clean them up, let them run around a while, feed them, bathe them, clean their kennels, and then take them back to the airport and get them back on a flight to me in Nashville TN. Anyway, be prepared for that.

When my girl came out of Hungary, the breeder was good enough to drive her to Germany and fly her out of Frankfort on Lufthansa. I gave her a little more for the travel. But it was a shorter flight to here from Germany than it would have been from Hungary, but there still was a car ride involved the day before. This way she left in the morning on the plane from Germany and was in my arms that evening about 9 hours later, in wonderful shape. I would really be scared to have a puppy placed in a kennel situation during shipping. Just my thought...

[Lexi Rae]

hi and welcome,,,just wanna tell you, my lexi was born in hungary tooo..
budapest.. shes the best...

[yorkieK9trainer]

Yorkiegal719, Is there any way you could go back and look at your paper work and tell me which airline your breeder used to get your girl home from Germany? Also, where in Hungary your breeder lives? Right now shipping is $600 and if I can cut that down in anyway I may be willing to do so.

Lexi Rae, GREAT! How do you like her overall temperment and structure? Any problems at all? What kennel is she from?

Thanks again guys!

[Lexi Rae]

dont know what kennel she is from, but i can look tonight when i get home..
her temperment is perfect,, she is so smart too... she is from a back ground
of champions, her grandparents were champions, so they say . i do believe it
cause she is just amazing. people cant believe how smart she is...and again, because of this site and learning so much, lexi is what she is today because of it...

[jeanief]

I got my yorkie from Pellerd-ore kennel in Hungary. They drove her to Germany too I think for the flight. She went to Detroit and went through customs and then came to me in MN safe and sound. The airline was northwest.

How Exciting! While I do not know much about the pedigrees, if everyone else is impressed, than so am I. I noticed that you are in Glendale, AZ. I'll be spending the summer there with my parents and my new Yorkie of course. Maybe we can get together! She'll be my first Yorkie and I can never learn enough.

[My2Furbabies]

Awww...what a cutie! Can't wait till you get your new baby home!

[Breezeaway]

Dont they dock tails in Hungary? I am just inquisitive.

[yorkieK9trainer]

uabutterfly- SURE when will you be coming into town? PM me and we'll talk about the particulars!

Breezeeaway- Sorry if I butchered your screen name, but no they do not dock tails in Hungary. It's my understanding that it is currently illegal and considered unethical or inhumane by most. This goes for all breeds that you would traditionally see cropped or docked.
