Picking out a puppy - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I really don't believe I could pick just one. They are both so cute!!!

May the force be with you as you make your final decision. Okay, that made me sound like such a dork...really, I'm not! LOL

It really is tough to pick from two adorable yorkies . . . and at that stage, they are soooooo irresistible. I suggest that you let the puppy pick you instead and whomever comes to you first and smother you with kisses is the ONE to take home . . . you can never go wrong with that! Best of luck!

Thank you, thank you for all your great advice! Unfortunately, I cannot take both girls...the other one is reserved already!

Ladylavender~thanks for the great information, I'll definitely keep it in mind on Saturday.

And of COURSE I'm taking pics! If I don't, I know I'll get banished to the YT hall of shame!!!!

Although both are cute and id take either if offered to me if i had choice i would have pup no 2

CPG · 03-17-2006, 09:06 AM

I also had 2 girls to choose from, but one kept coming to me and the other one wasn't friendly. The breeder says sometimes they choose you and I think she was right. Xena is precious. I've had her 3 weeks. I'm glad she choose me.

Awww what a tough decision you have to make! I say when you get there see which one pulls on your heart the most! My guess is that they are both going to pull on your heart but if I had to choose just one I think that the 2nd picture would be my choice!

MLE2001 · 03-17-2006, 11:19 AM

I know it's pretty tough to decide between the two - I got lucky picking mine because one of them looks like Charlie and one looks like Gia and Charlie is my favorite :-)
Just based on the pictures, I'm partial to the one on the right but I really like that "scruffy" look - so it's hard to say - good luck though!!!

JWebb · 03-17-2006, 11:45 AM

Since you can't have both, I would let the puppy choose you. That's what I have done in the past and it has worked well for me. Now, if both of them choose you, I don't know what to tell you. I have always had one puppy really monkey shine for me and it makes it easy. These little guys are good at picking their owner. Good luck and hopefully your decision will be easy.

I'm going down there on Saturday to visit the pups.

Please give me some hints/tips to look for in chosing a pup at the breeders. I am now so confused....instead of just going there and the breeder giving me the second female...now I have to choose between two?!?

Go for the one you were going to have before the lady backed out

red98vett · 03-17-2006, 12:52 PM

Are you going to be able to meet them ? I looked at 3 females when searching for Cheri and she picked me....I would really have a hard time choosing just by the pictures....they're just adorable and GOOD LUCK !

PS...your avatar mesmerized me. Is he for sale too ?

I do not allow people to 'pick' their pup, but instead personality test pups and try to match them to the home that will suit them the best. If you are looking for an alpha type, strong willed personality, then that is most likely what you will get if you allow the pup to pick you. The litter alpha will generally be the most curious and extroverted, also the toughest to train.

gutu28 · 03-17-2006, 02:17 PM

TOUGH choice!! I got nothing..all I can say is GOOD LUCK and I can't wait to see pictures

Sugar's Mom · 03-17-2006, 02:37 PM

i am a huge fan of erect ears so I would pick the second one. her ears look smaller and are on the way up. the first puppy has larger, heavier looking ears to me and they might not come up at all. But, other than that, they are both dollbabies.

TootiesMom · 03-17-2006, 04:54 PM

I bought my Tootie sight-unseen, except for photos. I had someone else go and get him for me because I couldnt make the trip. He is nothing like I expected. He is a whopping 11 pounds, has down ears and he is the CUTEST thing ever! He has brought so much fun into my home. I have 3 other dogs and he brightens everyone's day... besides, he is the only one my husband really likes.. HAHA
I think it always works out for the best... .personality is the key!
