New member from NY - Chris 4 Attachment(s) Hey everyone, I finally decided to go ahead and make an account on a yorkie forum. My little guy is named Chris and he is quite the social little puppy. He is 7 months old and around 5-6 lbs. When I first got him he was around 2lbs at 2 months old. I have heard some great remarks when running with him at the park "Mommy look at the big man with the little doggie!!!" I am 6'4 so that is pretty funny. Originally this pup was for my little sister but seeing as how responsibility tends to get pushed upward, I end up taking care of him. We are from NY and I am trying to keep my little guy social. He has all his shots and what not and needs some friends. I am thinking about getting him a haircut soon because his fur is so many different colors. I am not really sure how much it will cost or where to go. The one bad thing is Chris hates hairdryers/vacuums/anything with a motor in it. So I am assuming that will make using an electric shaver or hairdryer on him next to impossible. If anyone wants to be friends with my little guy let me know, also if you can suggest any groomers that would be great! |
Welcome, your little guy is very cute. You will probably be surprised by how well he will do with a professional groomer. They know how to handle them just right. I don't know how much it costs in New York as I am in California, but I spend $35 to $40 to have someone come to my home and groom mine. Maybe someone from your area can give you a better idea of cost, also mine is very small only 2.5LBS and almost 1 yr old. Enjoy YT. |
I just want to trim him up, Chris will always have the puppy cut. The only thing that is crazy is the amount of color change he went through since he was born. His hair on his head started black then changed to white and now it is brown! It used to look like he was an old bald man because of the black tips with white hair. I'm not sure how tightly grouped the YT community is but I'd love to meet some local yorkies to socialize my little guy. |

Welcome to YT, Patches & Winnie |
Thanks! I just uploaded a small album of pictures of Chris |
Welcome! He is a cutie!!! If you check out Do something, Learn something, Share something, Change something - Meetup.com and look for a Yorkie Meetup in your area, you'll definitly get him socialized, etc... |
Hi and :welcome4: to YT! We are in NY too but upstate near Albany. We do have meet ups here once the weather gets a little nicer but we are probably too far for you to travel..... |

Chris becomes a big boy next week! He will be a 1 year old on the 22nd! I got him a new bed, pet stairs, expanding pet gate, pad holder, and 2 squeeky toys for his bday! Do people give their dogs like a doggy cupcake or something lol. |
I hope you will find as much good information in this group as I have, Justin! And Chris is a real cutie! |
:aimeeyork Hi and welcome to YT! Chris is adorable. You will fit in good here since it sounds like you spoil him rotten like most of us do!:D |
A PUPCAKE!!! seen them they are cute! Happy Birthday! |
Chris in NY, is that NYC STAR & I live in NYC on the UES, if you are looking for groomer in the city, there are many. Star goes to Canine Styles, which has a few locations, they charge $90 to "full" groom, 3lb., 11oz., Star. A bath is only $60! I do most of the bathing at home and an occasional groom for the Holidays! Star also "boards" Yorkies, if you ever have the need |
Hi! I am out on Long Island. Chris is adorable! :) |
STAR to PETCO Star has finished her ear medication (2 weeks worth), now time to groom. I am taking her to Petco on 86/Lex for the 1st time, the charge is $56 instead of $90 at Canine Styles. |
Hi, we take Milo to D is for Doggy on West 22nd Street. It is $75 for a full groom and the groomer is wonderful. She is gentle, thorough, and very familiar with the breed. Milo always looks and smells great. He is a very nervous and timid little guy but I feel quite comfortable leaving him there. They do not cage the dogs and honor special grooming requests. Milo is usually ready about 2 hours after I drop him off. I have heard less than wonderful things about the grooming services at Petco and it might be well worth it to spend a little extra to assure that Chris is well cared for. "D" is for Doggy | Daycare, Boarding and Grooming for Dogs | Grooming |
I love pic#3! so cute!!!! I live in UES and new petco on 86th has very clean grooming place. I think it is cheaper than most groomers in the city. |
PETCO on 86th I had STAR groomed there a week ago, she looked GREAT! I was pleased. The price was $56, much less than Canine Styles at $90! |
