| Why did you pick your baby? I was just wondering... how did you know that you were meant to be with your dog? If you bought from a breeder and got to choose, why did you pick that puppy? Were you looking for a certain temperament / look? Did you pick them because they come up to you and you just knew? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I called a couple of breeders and I talked to Cali's breeder for 45 minutes and really liked her. She only had one puppy left but she said she keeps the best for last so that if she doesn't sell the puppy she has the best of the litter. When we went to see Cali she was so tiny and cute, she didn't have a lot of coat but I fell in love instantly and put the deposit down and picked her up 3 weeks later.

| I picked Diesel for a few reasons. He had the shorter nose and he was the smaller of the 2. His brother was already over 2 pounds and they were 9 weeks going on 10 weeks at the time. I know a lot here say size doesn't matter to them but it did to me. I wanted a Yorkie because they don't shed and they are small. So size mattered to me. It is much easier to take a 5 or 6 pound dog around than a 10 plus dog. He also had the most adorable little face. Diesel never was a very outgoing pup. He was always very shy. When he was around his mom and brother he was wide open! We spent at least 45 mins with the pups and the mom. My husband was paying her while I was playing with them. Michelle |

| I contacted a lot of breeders and had them email me pics of the puppies and pics of the parents since most of them were a couple of hours away. I picked the CUTEST one with the CUTEST parents. Also, we were looking specifically for a MALE under $1000. |

| Well when I see Maddie for the first time I just fell in love with her. Jill had posted a pic of the puppies she was selling in a basket. I see the one on the left hand side and fell in love. I was joking around a emailed Jill that I needed the little baby on the left. She said she is so adorable. We call her fur face cause she is loaded with all kinds of fur... (my heart melted) She said you really need to get her Denise. I had Parker at the time and had no intentions of getting looking for another one. Well, me and Jill talked on and off all night, cause I was trying to find Missy a puppy cause she had just lost Kloey. So me trying to help a friend, ended up me helping Missy find Jill and Me getting Maddie. Things just all worked out right like they were meant to be. If it wasnt for Jill, I would not of had Maddie. Maddie didnt go home until she was 13 weeks, but I went to see her before and I knew she was something special and oh soooo cute too!!!! |

| I had been searching for a long time, and I posted in the puppy wanted forum. I had talked to several breeders and then someone sent me a PM that she had a puppy who was the only one in the litter...a little boy. After talking with her and seeing photos, I somehow felt that this was the right one. I liked the fact that the parents are on site and that they are extremely healthy. She only breeds healthy dogs within the breeding standard. She was really good about answering my questions, and in fact, she encouraged me to ask as many questions as I wanted. We are in touch daily, and I feel that we have developed a good friendship. She loves and cares alot for my little guy, and we plan on keeping in touch so that she can see little Jake grow up. |

| I called several breeders and thought I had a puppy picked out here in town. That fell through. So I called this lady that was highly recommended and she had a lil girl that sounded just like I wanted. So off we went to look at her. As soon as I saw her, I knew she had to go home with me. She had every feature I wanted. And she was the sweetest lil girl. She loves to give kisses. She has been a wonderful baby.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Why I picked STEDDY I had always been very, very picky about the faces when I was looking for a little Yorkie. I like the lighter colored coats (especially the faces), shorter noses, and "teddy bear" looking faces with the big round eyes and really puffy/chubby cheeks. Also, I wanted a smaller Yorkie, in the 3-4 lb range. And no, not because of all of the "t-cup" hype, because that is a bunch of nonsense. I simply wanted a smaller dog because for most of my life, I have had bigger dogs, or dogs that weighed 50 + lbs (except my mini Doxie!), and I wanted a very small dog that could easily sleep in the bed with us, that could jump in my lap while I was watching t.v., and a little dog that was easy to pick up with one hand...and not to mention the portability factor Yeah, I know...PICKY RIGHT?? LOL. Anyway, after looking for SEVERAL months, I finally found my little guy, he was, and still is, PERFECT! I just basically knew exactly what I wanted, and didn't buy until I found it The main reason I picked him was because of his face, and because of his bratty little attitude lol! I just thought it was too cute for words!!!
