WELCOME TO YT!!!

you have def. come to the right place to do some research .

I think yorkies are the sweetest dogs, they are very intelligent, independent but at the same time require alot of human attention. These dogs thrive indoors with their owners. Grooming and teeth brushing is the biggest resposibility. Potty training may be a little stressful

because

can be stubborn.

But if all of this doesn't seem like too much then a yorkie baby will make a wonderful additional to your home.

Welcome

If I had to pick any one thing to prepare you in considering a Yorkie it would be the potty training. Time and patience - and then more patience!

If I had to pick the upsides to having a Yorkie there are far too many to mention. I've been owned by dogs my entire life and nothing compares to a Yorkie.

Did I mention time and patience with potty training?

Yorkies do not talk back, complain, expect money for doing things, they do not take advantage of us. They give us unconditional love...I wish I could give credit to the person who wrote this because it was awesome, thank you! They are the most devoted little things you will ever find. It is absolutly amazing how much love they give you, never asking for anything in return! All that being said, they take patience and time. She is still not 100% potty trained, her bladder is so small, and she requires alot of grooming time. Although I look at this time as an excuse to spend more time with her

If you have the time and patience, then I say go for it, you will not be sorry

Yeah, that!

Hi, I'm new too, but I'm hooked on YT now! I'm going through a hard time right now because we had a litter of puppies, both male and female are ours and the puppies were born with a very rare disease. I found this site while researching the disease. Just wanted to tell you I had a sweet male Yorkie, Fritter for 13 wonderful years when we lost him to heart disease. I was so devasted it took me 3 years to decide I wanted another dog. I still couldn't bear to think of another Yorkie, so we got a toy poodle. We had Rocky for 12 wonderful years until we lost him to Cushings Disease. Having had both Yorkies and Toy Poodles, I actually found them to be very alike in temperment. Each have their own unique personalities, but that is true in all dogs. When we knew we were going to lose Rocky we decided we would get another dog before we lost him. Although Rocky had Cushings he lived about 2 good years with medication and he loved our Yorky. I got another male, and my Yorkie, Snickers, and Rocky would cuddle up and sleep together. They loved one another. So, if you already have a poodle, a Yorkie would probably be a great choice! After we lost Rocky, we bought another companion for Snickers because he was lost without Rocky. We purchased a female this time, Almond Joy, and that led to our current problem!! Good luck, I hope you find the perfect puppy!!
