I want another baby in our family.... Anyone in Alabama??
 

So.. I have been wanting to add a little boy to our family for a while now.. Or another girl.. I really can't decide.. Would love some advice on boys vs girls.. girls with other girls.. My baby Stella is very very playful and I think she would def love a playmate :)) I had a chihuahua at one point but it wasn't too nice to playful Stella so I gave him to my mom.

But I noticed some yorkies look different than others so apparently I'm not up to par with my yorkie types. But our Stella seems to be a type of Silk haired whereas others I see are the more wiry feeling hair.. If that makes sense.

Can someone tell me what the exact name of my baby is so I don't sound crazy?

Here is an updated pic of her.

Also, if anyone is in the Alabama area with a puppy for sale, we are highly interested.

Hi there! I can't get that link to work. I did see her pic in the thread you posted in the pic section. She looks like a Silk Coated Yorkie to me. They really aren't ever supposed to have wiry hair. The other time is Cotton Coat - it is really soft (like cotton hehe), but thicker and from what I read, it tends to tangle easier.

I wish I knew someone in Alabama for you. I'm up in the Montgomery area. There are some really good breeders around the South though. I would go to the YTCA breeder referral list and look in GA or the Carolinas or Florida. I've been looking into a few up in the Atlanta/Marietta area. If you are up by Birmingham, that isn't too awful far from you :thumbup:

Ohhh.. I did not know that!! Thanks for the tip!! :))
I am in the Bhm area.. not to far from Montgomery.. My partner drives a train to Montgomery almost daily! :))
Thank you!! I will def check them out now that I know she is a silk :))

Also, I'll give you a recommendation based on my own searching, as I would like to get another Yorkie in the future (few years down the road yet, probably). I don't have first hand experience so you should do your own research, but check out TyAva in Georgia. They are championship showers and breeders with a very good reputation from what I've found in my searching. That isn't too far from you.

Call Tammy @ 251 751-3165. My Bella came from her.

Coats and pups.
 

Nilla has a cotton coat -- she is beautiful and I love love love her, don't get me wrong, but cotton coats are a pain in the buns. xD I'm fairly certain purebred Yorkies either have silky or cotton coats. Silky is more fine and really feels more like human hair, and cotton feels like, well, cotton. The cotton mats waaay easily.

I've heard that pairing a male and female together is the best way to go, and after observing Nilla with other dogs, I would say that in our case it would be true. She likes to play with other dogs, but she seems more jealous of female dogs if they get more attention than she does (I believe they get a teensy territorial). She tends to try and play more with males. I don't know if it's a coincidence, if the gender differences do or do not make a difference in the long run, if the females she has played with and plays with just irritate her (because Nilla is spayed and has been spayed since she was 6 months old and most other females she has been around were also spayed which to me would seem like not much competition), that Nilla is just spoiled and feels that all eyes must be on her, or what ... xD I don't think you'll know until you introduce them, and I would suggest taking her with you when you find a prospective puppy so that they can meet and you can see how they interact with one another.

Good luck finding your new fur baby! <3
