Looking for Playmate for Ginger Ginger has been moping around the house, with no one to play with. My husband and I would like to get her a new playmate. We would prefer an older male (8 - 18 months), 6 - 8 (or a little more) pounds at maturity. If anyone has one, please let me know. Thanks, Janelle |
Janelle. You may have some luck on Petfiner or through a rescue, not necessarily a Yorkie Rescue. I've seen quite a few Yorkies that meet what you are looking for, over the past couple of years. Also, at my vet today there was an older couple that had a boy that they aquired through rescue at the age of a bit over a year. He was found hiding under a car with a broken leg. They said that they had three Yorkies and aquired all three through rescue. Also, keep your eyes in the local classifieds. A lot of people give up trying to take the time to potty train or an elderly owner passes and family just want to get rid of them. It's a plus that you want a male too because most want females so they are harder to find, although I have a male and females and truthfully by far my male was much easier all the way around.

Thanks. I am hoping that we will find a younger dog somewhere close enough to go visit before deciding to purchase. Gin has final say in the matter. So we would prefer she met the puppy/dog before we buy. From what I have heard on here, rescue organizations have some pretty strict rules, and I know when my niece tried to adopt, she was told no, she had too many pets already (not that we do, we have Gin and my daughter has a cat). |
Janelle, Did you find your little older dog???? I'm just catching up on some of the threads. |
No I haven't. I will keep looking. The hard part seems to be more location (I want to find one closer to home so that Gin can meet and then we can discuss it--the word interview seems harsh, but we want to make sure it is a good match) And the harder part is size. I don't want to get a small one. I am really looking for one around 6 - 8 pounds. And the trend is definitely for smaller. I was hoping to get one that someone had kept for hopes of breeding or show and then had grown too large... But I keep telling myself that patience is a virtue. Gin running around the house looking for something to do is kinda heartbreakening, but we will get there. |
Good luck in your search! Are you back from Iraq now? I will keep my eyes open since I am local as well. There was a breeder in VA beach that had a male who had gotten too large. My friend emailed her about him and I do not know if he ever found a home. I will ask my friend what her email address was...it was published in the paper. |
No I am still here. But getting close to being done. Can not wait to get home! And thanks for checking on that pup for me! |
I am home! And I seriously need to find Gin a playmate. I was kinda hoping I had, but I was too slow! So, I would like a yorkie that is at least 16 weeks but no more than 2 years. Somewhere within easy driving distance of Hampton Roads, VA. One that should be 7-10 pounds full grown. I would prefer a female, but will consider a male. I have two weeks before I go back to work, so now is the perfect time! Thanks! |
I know you said in Driving distance BUT did you see this cute little girl still left? She looks adorable and older but not too old for your Ginger. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87587 I know I drove a ways to get my little Mia for Murphy to have a play mate and it was so worth it. Just trying to help, may be the perfect match! Good luck! :) |
I would definetly try a yorkie rescue or petfinder. |

I will be in Savannah, GA from the 4th-9th of August and I live right down the road from Janelle in VA! I can bring him back with me. Someone would have to bring him to Savannah though. |
Riley does sound great. I posted a question on his availability. I have a friend that lives that direction so I could make the drive myself and visit too! Waiting to see on the availability. . . Oh, and thanks to all who have sent me PMs. Most of the pups have been smaller. And I know that size is a preference of many... Gin, however, is a wonderful teapot and I would like her to have a good rough and tumble playmate. Also, Andy was about 4.5 pounds and a sweetheart, but I can't help but think if he had been bigger. . . |
Good luck finding a little man! |
Riley is still available he is in atlanta see other post |
I did find Gin a new playmate. From a breeder here in Virginia. Made it much easier than waiting till the weekend when my husband was going to be able to go with me. Patience isn't one of my virtues when it come to the babies. Otherwise, we were going to drive to West Virginia this weekend! For a thread on the new baby, please go to http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89733. Thanks, one and all, for your help, encouragement and suggestions. Janelle |
