Besides all those facts you would miss all those wonderful kisses!!!! :(

The only part of this which is free is her gracious offer to you, not the Yorkie. Food, vet bills, toys, grooming supplies, and basic needs this Yorkie will need will cost $$$ for the duration of his life.

I would never let baby Gazou outside . I am totally opposed to peoples letting their dog outside . If a person do it , IMO , it is a irresponsible person who don't deserve to have a dog , no matter the breeds . My brother have 2 Irish wolfhounds and they sleep in the house .

Ouch, dog bite!! :eek: I along with Schatzie have my Daisy. She is my Great Parynese who adopted us the day somebody dumped her on our doorstep 5 years ago. She weighed in last week at the vet @ 135 pounds and she LIVES OUTSIDE. She is taken care of, happy, healthy, and never comes into the house.

I am NOT a irresponsible person and I do DESERVE to have a dog. (s) However, this type of dog is bred to live outdoors guarding livestock, I feel no shame in her being outside.

She also get's attention daily by my husband and I, not to mention interaction with Schatzie and Annabelle.

Just out of curiosity, do your other two dogs live outside too?

You have stated before that your parents said you could get one, but do they really want it too? They will take care of the vet bills, right? Since you have a new home, are they going to let it live in the house? Since it's not trained and you will be at school, what will mom say when he has tinkled all over the house all the time? Talk with your parents and give them both sides of the story. I would hate for this little guy to end up outside again looking for another home. I know you really want a yorkie but make sure it will work in your parents home at this time. You are very young to take on all this responsibility. Soon you will be interested in boys and hanging with your friends, then what will happen to him?

Great idea with the doggie door - I was not going to ask this - but is this yorkie outside ALL YEAR for real ? Mine get cold when it's 50 degrees at night and sleep in jammies too - I feel so bad hearing this - I can't see a social breed like a yorkie outside - Mine LIVE for my touch and most yorkies want to be with us all the time -

Then there's the summer in the heat ? It really doesn't sound like a good situation for the poor guy...maybe someone SHOULD take him in - I felt terriblereading about how he's living - poor little guy - how can he feel love if he's all alone all the time ?

Schatzie , Gazou didn't told you that you were irresponsible . He said peoples who leave a dog outside all the times . Attached to a chain , we know you have respect for dogs .

im out of school now for summer so i will be takeing care of him

Olivier, Nowhere in the post I responded to mentioned "chain". I have only responded to what was written.

Klogan...Annabelle and Schatzie live indoors.

I realize that you are a young girl with the best of intentions.
It is obvious your love for yorkies, but asking a question of
such tells me that your parents really need to support you a
little more in this matter. I am getting the idea that if you
live in a brand new house and your dad won't let you put in a
doggie door he probaby isn't going to let you keep a dog that
has accidents in the house in the house for very long. My
suggestion is to pass and wait until you are more ready to
care for a pet in the way it needs to be cared for. I mean
really what is the hurry? I have a 12 year old daughter so I
know that sometimes she wants things too but if I can't do
right by it and she can't do right by it we don't bring it into
our home because it wouldn't be fair to the animal involved.
The love of yorkies wore off on my daughter in about 2 weeks
once she saw all that was actually involved in having to care
for him he wasn't so cute and fun anymore. Needless to say
it didn't surprise me when that happened and that is why when
we got a yorkie we got it because we wanted him and not because
she did. So please...please think this through. Nothing will break
my heart more than to read future posts from you telling us
about a 6 pound yorkie being kept outside in a pen wrapped
in plastic and a heat lamp, or of him getting hurt by hawks or
other dogs because he is an out door dog. I am sorry if I sound
harsh but I only say these things from experience. Right now
we have 4 dogs. I never on my own would have gone and picked
out 2 Labs. The hair is horrible but they are still kept in the house.
I thank my son who was not responsible enough to take care of
them for dropping them off on my doorstep. My next dog is a
Dachsund (weiner dog) to which again I owe thanks to my oldest
daughter because she tired of him and all of a sudden he was here
too. I shudder to think of what would have happened to these dogs
had I not stepped in an taken responsibility for them. It wasn't their
fault that their original owners sucked. It pains me to have people
look at animals like they can just throw them away when they become
inconvenient to them. Dogs or any other pet are way more than a
void to fill a want. They are companion animals that need constant
attention, patience and love, they are very costly to feed, to keep
healthy and groomed as well. There is just so much more to pet ownership than I think you understand. Even as an adult I can't have everything
I want or love and it's best to learn that lesson at a young age.

yes the girl and him are together when it winer she put a heating lamp in the dog lot with a tarp over it then in summer she put them in the sade

Schatzie , the post I sent was not about you because I know you love your dogs . Excuse if I might have offended you . I am very sorry .

yes.yes.yes.im out of school for the summer. i really want a yorkie my parentents and i have made all kinds of agreementsi have wanted a yorkie for three years so nothing will stop me not even my friends. i love yorkies and know every thing about them so i could get one. mom and daddy know i would take care of him so that why they are going to let me have him

Hi , Schatzie
I am presenting you Lorenzo , one of my brother's babies . Gazou thinks he is big like him .

Lorenzo is awesome! And, i present Daisy our "outside" dog, hahaha

I realize you are out of school for the summer but soon you will be going back wont you? I posed several important questions to you and this is the only one you responded too. If your parentsare ready for the yorkie then you should by all means get him. But just because you have wanted one for three years isn't enough. I know you said you have read all about them but in reality they live and breathe 24 hours a day 7 days a week and some one has be there most of that time. You are very young and in 2 - 3 years I bet you may possibly have other interests.

OMG Daisy and Lorenzo are AWESOME!!!

Schatzie ,
I am sorry if I offended you . I was only giving an explanation . I was not implying you .

No apologies needed - thank you! :p

Daisy and Lorenzo are awesome . Can you imagine a Yorkie that might be big like them ?

My yorkies are kept in the house. They are too sensitive to the environment. Plus it is easier to keep them clean and tangle free. I know of a breeder that keeps her yorkies outside and she will let you know that they are her money makers and their condition shows just that. They really are in sad shape.

Yorkies are people dogs and prefer to be around their people. If you keep one outside, you would not be giving them the adequate attention they need. Not to mention, all of the critters out there that could bite/sting them. :thumbdown

:mad: I'm sorry but, I honestly don't think tis lady loves her dog. LEAVING HIM OUTSIDE.. I take my Nemo out for a little walk and he is shaking cause it's so cold and it about 60 degrees.. I would not buy from this lady .I would call animal services I think animals are part of the family they should be keep inside with the family..poor doggie.. so sad

outside
 

There is only one acceptable reason for a Yorkie to live outside imo..if the owner lives outside, then it might work...I said MIGHT.

i will be going to lake winne with her and her daugher so we will talk tommrow

That is cruel yorkies are to small to be left outside in the weather. When my yorkie goes out I go with her people seem to like to steal small purebred dogs. My mother knows a lady that let hers outside in the yard and a hawk picked it up the neighbors saw it so I wouldn't dare let Sasha out alone.

weather is too hard for Yorkies outside
 

The weather around here is too harsh for these little furbabies. Its too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. I think you need to wait a little longer until you can have him inside with you..PLUS they are wonderful to sleep with..Just like a teddy bear!! :p

hmmm...????
 

OKay I have stayed out of all of this for so long, but I guess i just have to put my opinion out there now. When I was 12 i had an outside dog because that was what my parents thought was right, and to me, being 12, it seemed okay. Now I look back at the life my poor dog (Apache) lived and I can't believe how horrible I was. I have learned so much more as I have gotten older...yeah I know I'm only 20 now, but i have the ability to make my own decesions. Also, I have to accept all of the responsibility. If Baby pees in the house it is my problem, and it is my floor. Living with my parents I would never have been able to keep Baby as I do.
Also, I can not imagine keeping Baby outside. She won't even lay on the couch unless she has a pillow or blanket to lay on, on the couch. I don't know what she would do if she had to sleep on the ground?!?!?!?!?!?!? I don't want to know. I understand how exciting it is to finally be able to get a yorkie, and I wanted to say congrats...but i have a SUGGESTION...remember it's only that. Is it possible for you to bring this pup home for a trial period, like over the weekend or something??? Then you could test his indorr behavior and get to know his personality??? To me this seems like a good introduction for everyone. Then you could also get a feel about how your parents might react to potty accidents and then you would know if this would work out. Good luck and keep us posted!!!!!!!

i know if i dont like him (which is not possibly lol) she would take him back. i really want him. i know some people dont understand my life becouse u arent me. my friend always buddy up and leave me out so i want a freind that can be inside with me all the time. and when i come home and do my home work i want someone to play with. i sorry to ramble on
yorkie crazy brittany

That's an easy question. We too have a lot of land. Maggie never goes out, except on a leash. She does her business, and we also take a couple of walks daily. She doesn't mind the dew on the grass or even rain. She can do her business very fast when it rains. I would never leave her outside by herself. One, they are a single coat animal. They can get very cold and on the opposite side, overheat. Two, left outside--you are setting up fresh bait for any predator--like owls, hawks, feral cats, other dogs, coyotes, etc Think again about leaving a Yorkie outside. If you must leave an animal outside, then obtain a big animal.
