You may be right, but it is not necessarily true. I love all dogs but find that smaller dogs are easier for my husband and I to travel, (plane or road) and also to sleep and live indoors with us. Amongst other things.

Isis, good luck finding your future pet. You might want to look into other breeds or wait a little bit longer. I myself have waited 3 years for the right one and am still in the search ;)

Ummm NO!
 

You should watch your mouth before trying to put words in my mouth which i did not say, in fact thats far from the reason why i want a yorkie. Firstly i love big dogs, i had my dog a terrier pitt mix for well over 8 years, she passed away, but not without giving me 3 diffrent litters. I kept 2 of last pups she had, and one from a previous litter she had. I LOVED THESE DOGS TO DEATH, she had came into my life on accident, i didnt go looking for her, but even though i had her since she was maybe 9-10 months i loved her, and took her into my family. Well either way i had 3 dogs about two months ago, but suddenly my neighbors complained that they were very hyper, and that they barked tooo much, and that they seemed as a threath, so they called the pound complained, next thing i know i get home to finding nothing waiting for me when i get home from school... YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS, TO COME HOME EXPECTING TO SEE THE DOGS THAT TAKE CARE OF YOU WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING CONFORTABLY IN YOUR BED..... and the sad thing is i didnt get to say bye.

Since my neighbors complained i didnt want to get another big dog that i had to keep outside, that would run the same luck as the other pups, so i decided to get a yorkie after i saw my moms boss MONIQUE LHUILLIER (LOOK IT UP) having one, she had had it for a long time, and plus i met a lady in the park that told me and introduced me to the breed,

IT WAS NEVER INTENDED OR LETS SAY I NEVER INTENDED TO GET ONE BECAUSE SO AND SO HAS IT, ACTUALLY IM NOT MOVED BY CELEBRITIES,

SO lets get our facts right!:mad:

thanks!! yeah you see the thoughts on peoples head, gosh know nothing about people and there they go...

any way man i hope you get your baby soon, its though man i berly started and im tired, i hope you dont give up, i wont either, loves you take care thanks for sharing:)

isis,
I also joined yorkietalk as a last resort, but my luck hasn't changed. I understand how you feel because some of the prices are overly expenisve(yes the dogs are expensive because of vet bills, few in a litter, upkeep etc. but some prices are outrageous $3,000-4,000) even 8,000)

I really like the dogs having seen them with people and I think owning a small dog would be nice as I am an indoor type of person. I still am looking for rescues but I never get picked. I have been looking for 2 years so far and slowed my search down because I am very discouraged. A lot of people here are friendly and give you info on dogs but there are some rude people as well (but thats how the world in general is). Hopefully you may have better luck than I do.:aimeeyork

i was not trying to be rude i said what i did for the fact that it seems to be a trend for young people im sorry for saying what i did but thats how it seemed to me when i was reading the e mail so im sorry

I have a yorkie mix and he is not ugly. a lot of mixes that i have seen on this forum are not ugly nor big.

you can see for yourself.

So i find it interesting you say yorkie mixes are.. ugly..

yorkies in general are not ugly in my opinion :cool:

Sorry...but, I don't think you do understand...I understand that you really want a puppy but, if you don't have the money to take care of it that isn't fair to the animal. Have you thought about going to a shelter or rescue. SOMETIMES they have yorkies there, or you could get a different dog...something that is small...if that is what you are looking for. IMO....I don't think you are going to find a yorkie for $300.00 or under nor will you find someone to just give one to you....


Good Luck!

From my personal experience, I also suggest you to wait a little longer (preferably after you graduate from college)
At least that's what I did.

I've always wanted a yorkie, but I knew that I couldn't give the love & care one needs.
College is totally different from high school. You go to college to prepare for a furture career, which means you have to devote tons of time to school, interns, honor programs, & etc.

I just got my baby girl that I've always dreamed of this August after I graduated from college & got a desirable job offer this June.
I now have enough money & time to devote to taking care of my yorkie baby

If you can wait, it will be the best option for not only you, but also for your yorkie. :)

Keep in mind some yorkies (not all) can be barkers and if your neighbours complained about your big ones barking they will complain about a yorkie barking.And by they way if someone came and took my dogs I would fight heaven and earth to get them back.Did you try and get them back?

ok well check this out i figure like this....as long as you cant take care of your yorkie...(you or your parents) then get you a yorkie...just be careful...cause before i just wanted one had them money also..just didnt how much hard work it is...so good luck on ur search!!!!

Been in your shoes before
 

Hi Isis,

I wanted a yorkie ever since i was a freshmen at UCLA. I understand what you're going through, but now that I have graduated this past June, gotten a steady job with a steady income, and bought my Peanut, I highly recommend you to wait.

Although you say your parents will help you out in taking care of your yorkie, vet expenses, etc; the fact that you cannot afford a yorkie over 300 dollars shows you're not quite ready for it. I used to hope for a cheaper yorkie back then too, but then as i researched more and more i kept increasing the amount that i would willingly spend. haha. from thinking i wanted a yorkie at 500, to 700, then to 1,000, and finally buying one for 1,800!! hahah.

Also, because you are a freshman in college, you cant really grasp the full extent of how busy you will be with classes, tests, extracurricular activies, sororitys, etc. I spend a lot of time on Peanut, and I can't even imagine how I would have survived with him had I gotten him before graduating.

Oh and another thing, you have no idea yet how satisfying it is to actually purchase your own yorkie with no financial help from the parentals : ) i mean, obviously i'd have loved to take some money from my parents, and they probably would have offered too; but i like to think of Peanut as my personal responsibility. all food, vet expense, toys, etc, I fork out myself, hmmm although my parents and siblings get the benefit of getting to play with a puppy under the roof (so not fair hahaha) :p

Take care!

Peggy

What would happen if the Yorkie you get is hyper (they usually are :)) and barks too just like your other pups? I'd hate to see him/her get taken away as well? That would be so horrible. Good Luck in your search.

She found her baby.
