Hi there I'm so happy for you yay, Phoebe is very dark( black and tan) she is akc and shampion sired I loved because she look lika a puppy and she is 1 1/2 year old, her sister is alost 16 weeks and allready turning blue-and tan so you never know; is she the one in your avatar?

I got my Girls at 1 year and they are perfect:):) Congrats!!!!

She is the avatar
 

She absolutely GORGEOUS, congratulation:woof: yay she is so cute I just want to:2pucker: he,he

yes they are :) and so is mine they are from the same breeder she is Great!

she may get a little lighter but i think she will be a darker one like my Kodit and Pixie too .. good luck and I can not wait to see more of her:)

I was thinking the same thing... she will probably lighten up a bit but will probably always stay dark since she hasnt lightened as of yet:D :D

potty training
 

Do you think that it will be hard to potty train her? coming in at 8 months? And is there any behavior at 8 months ie. teething on things?

WHAT A CUTE LITTLE DOLL!!! I think she will stay dark, maybe with age, turning claricle grey. Good luck with her. I can see why it was love at first sight!!!!! Lynn

it depends on her training so far on the Potty training.. I have a 7 month old and she is teething still. I just make sure she has chews to teeth on they help alot :)

Two More Days, Two More Days, Two More Days!!!!!!!

Thirty Four Hours ahhhhhhhhhh
 

hahahahah....and counting!

Missing out on her puppy days
 

Oh..I forgot...I wanted to ask if you guys thought that missing out on her puphood makes it harder to bond?

IMG! She is gorgeous! Have you picked a name yet?

Georgia?
 

She is a cutie.....when I clicked on her pic it showed "GaShow". Is she a GA girl?
Her coat is dark...sometimes that means she will be soft coated.....you can tell by looking at her feet.......but, i dont think so....maybe modified silk.....

She is really sweet, who is her breeder?

:thumbup:

I think you should do well with your new older girl!!! I got my 2nd girl when she was 6 months and she fit in very fast. she was my surfer girl!!! She loved her hand ball and her surf board. I know she knew English. I started using sign language!!!LOL

I went to Meetup.com and joined some groups in my area. There was a gentlemen that posted some pictures of his girls and they were just stunning. I sent him an email. He asked what particularly I was looking for. And I said a darker colored yorkie that would stay sort of small.

I was afraid of buying from a backyard breeder who could breed genetic defects or you know...potential dangers.

Anyway, the breeder actually actively shows his dogs. She just happened to be too dark and small...which are not points for showing but it was what I wanted...lol...

He has answered all my questions, given me advice and I am really confident with the whole transaction. That was important to me. He has referred me to a great vet in the area that specializes in the small breeds.

Alot of people try to sell Tea cup yorkies or these 2 lb yorkies and then they have problems later in life that will cost alot of money to the vets. This is really scary to think about when you are buying a dog. I mean it is sooooo hard to be confident and comfortable. So I think it is a little more then I was planning to spend, but the quality of this dog gives me peace of mind.

If you want to contact him about any other dogs he has available, give me your email and I will pass it along. He is very involved in placing them in a good home. I dont think he just sells them to any body. He kind of gives you an interview.

lol...I guess I am lucky now that i have reread this! haha!

Georgia
 

Well he named her Empee's Sweet Georgia Brown....I wanted to name her Sugar....so Empee's Georgia Brown Sugar....lol..

wow...she so beautiful..big congrats to you..:thumbup:

thanks
 

Thanks everyone!!! I just have to find a groomer...how often do you get your dog groomed?

Congratulations!!! Welcome to YT!! Empee's is gorgeous!!!

She's a cutie. Atleast now you don't have to go through all that puppy stuff age.

What a beautiful girl! As far as bonding- I got Sugar when he was 17 months old and I always call him my doggy soul mate. Absolutely no bonding issues, it was love at first site for both of us. I think when it's right, it's right and it sounds like you have found the baby that was meant for you.

One more thing to add- I've found that going through the puupyhood definitely doesn't guarantee a bond. I got my first yorkie, Gracie at 8 wks (too young I know but didn't know then). She could not have been a more loved and babied puppy. She went everywhere with me, I held her and fussed over her constantly. Guess what? She never bonded with me. She has always preferred my husband. It broke my heart until I got Sugar.

So I guess my point is, getting your girl older is a good thing. You know more about her personality and don't have to worry about surprises.

Wow she is so pretty:) Congrats:) I love the dark color to;)

Thanks guys!
 

Thanks again. I know I should probably post this somewhere else but, do you guys use wipes alot? For their Eyes and paws and things....I dont like the whole gunky eyes things....so I was thinking about getting some wipes to have handy....I dont even know if she will have this problem. So any grooming advice?

Just wanted to say that she is gorgeous. I like the darker ones as well. I get a lot of compliments on Kalina's color.

Maureen, Jeannie showed me a picture you sent her of your two girls sitting back to back in their dresses and you are right, they are perfect. You should post pics sometime.

Hi and welcome to YT. Congratulations on your new little furbaby. I can just feel the excitement in your writing!!

Levi, our youngest little guy is 18 months old now. We got him last October when he was nearing 7 months old. We worried too about the bonding issue, etc. But we found out quickly that we worried and fretted for nothing. He made himself right at home as soon as we got him here and has been under foot ever since. We had no problem whatsoever potty training him to go outside. My husband was much more worried than I about an older puppy but after a few days with Levi he was very comfortable with the decision. It was kind of nice by-passing some of the real puppy stages if you know what I mean.

Also he was very dark when we got him and still is very dark. The breeder told me he would probably get to be a dark steel blue and it looks like he will be in time. He's still very black for the most part and his little face is dark too and I very much love him this way.

Best wishes and can't wait to hear more.
