Thanks everyone! I think you are right about getting a bigger Yorkie. I've actually been thinking about Silkies. I know they are bigger and sturdier, but I am so in love with Yorkies! Does anyone know anything about the temperament of Silkies? I've heard they tend to be hyper.

Linda,
Your Anio is sooooooo adorable! I do have my heart set on getting a female though!

He is sooooooooo much more adorable now than he was a month ago. I'm still going to try and get some new pictures tomorrow. You are welcome to come and see Anio, I'm sure he'd change your mind about getting a female. As for Silkies, can't say but there are bigger yorkies out there, you just have to find them. On the other hand, when we got Tucker, we had no idea he was going to end up being 14.5 pounds and he is such a lovey-dubby. And of course, there is our Alphy........boy do I miss him! I know he's well loved.

Silkies are wonderful dogs too!! They look similar to yorkies, but their standard calls for them to be a bit bigger and their hair not as long. I love the look of silkies also

Good luck with whatever you decide! A bigger yorkie or a silky would be good since you have children.

I'm not sure if I have gotten a little ahead of my self or not, but......
Do I need to go on a waiting list this early? I am interested in getting a female when the time is right, and I think sometimes there is more of a demand for the girls, right?

Maybe I should ask it this way.......
How soon should I contact you when we know we are ready?

You guys have all been so helpful!

Thanks,
Steph

Chillicothe newspaper is full of AKC Yorkies priced $500.00 every week I see them in there, I have a few friends that have bought from breeders in that area.

Because you have younger children, I might suggest getting a yorkie that is going to be a little bigger, more sturdy than some of the smaller ones. Even though you think you are not ready right now, I have what might be the perfect yorkie for you. Anio is gorgeous and he's going to be bigger, I'm guessing maybe around 8 pounds or so. He was born Jan. 2nd to Little Reggie (Love) and MoJo but he looks like he's taking after his grandfather Tucker. We left for FL on March 6th and he was just a little bigger than the pups that are about 2 weeks older than him. But when we came back a week later, he was almost double their size. He's a sweetie and for those who remember Alphy (living in WA with YT member) Anio is much like him. I've attached pics of him but they are not up to date, it was taken Feb. 2nd. I will try and get some new ones this week and post them on my website. More pics of Anio: http://www.garlinyorkies.info. And I'm in Ohio.

AWWW Linda, Hopey's nephew is beautiful! and ooo how much I Love Tucker... I wish I could bring Anio to my house!

I'm sure I would love him to pieces!

I guess what makes me lean more towards getting a female are the issues with having a male dog, like marking, or being territorial. I have always had female dogs/animals growing up, that's all I know!

Here is Anio today. He's a little mush ball of fur. I weighed him this morning and he's already 4.5 lb at 8 weeks old.

lksdolls · 03-17-2007, 07:52 AM

I also have a female, Christmas, who I'm guessing is going to be around 5-6 lb.

She takes after her daddy Dinky. His tongue is always sticking out. I don't think I have a single picture of him without his tongue.

TootiesMom · 03-17-2007, 08:06 PM

I still love Anio... hehe

I was just like you. All my life we had only female dogs, my parent and my grandparents always had female dogs so I grew knowing only female dogs. I was told males weren't as great as females because they hump, mark or are territorial. So naturally I never liked males dogs and never wanted one.

But then I saw Scampers and fell in love with him. He is the sweetest boy ever. He loves cuddling and just loves everyone. He has never done the humping, he is definately not territorial and he has only marked a few times when in a new surrounding and no he is not neutered. I am so glad I decided to give male dogs a chance. Later on we added Poptart, a male maltese. He is also a cuddle bug, will lay on your lap all day. He has never marked, only humped a dog a few times but it was over dominance issues and he is also not territorial. Maybe not all males dogs have such great personalities, maybe I got lucky but there are others who have males that are such sweeties too.

I am not saying go get a male, just wanted you to know that not all males have boy issues like humping, marking or territorial problems. After you are raised a certain way it is hard to think diferrently but I am glad I took the chance because I found out how great male dogs can be!!

TootiesMom · 03-17-2007, 08:13 PM

I agree Tracey, my Tootie is the MAN! He is such a sweetheart... he tolerates hugs so much better than the girls to... I have 3 girls and 2 boys...
Tootie is definitely the love bug of my house!
Hope and Tinker are definitely my territorial pups...

We have Tucker, MoJo, Bo, Gizmo, Dinky and have just added Buddy. All males, all lovers. The only time they get territorial is when one of our females is in heat. They don't hump anything or anybody.
I don't know if it's because we have so many males that live together that makes a difference with our pups as they are going up. We just added Buddy who is almost 16 weeks old. He's only attempted to hump the females a couple of times since we brought him home and I think that was only because he was so new to our home. Even that has stopped already and now he's just a cuddle bug.

Thanks for everyone's replies! You are are all so helpful!

Linda,
Your puppies are all so cute! I would take your puppies in a minute! They are adorable!

My husband says in about a year or so. Right now I am just looking around to try and find a good breeder, and from what I can see, you look like a very good one!

I will put you on my list of good breeders!

Thanks for all your puppy pics! They are gorgeous!
