Introducing Leonardo (AKA Leo)

[buffy512]

Oh I forgot to mention I have talked to several owners who own her babies. They all say how healthy and strong personalities they have. That says it all to me. That's tragic to see people on here who have done little to no research in their breeder or background of dog. I think if you love your dog. You want it to be as happy and healthy as can be.

That's all.!

Mickey drinks out of my ice water. He sits in my lap at the dinner table && already after a few NO NOs knows not to sniff all over or bother my food. It's amazing how few times I have to tell him no no. He's such a pleaser to say the least. He knows he's in good hands. It shows bc he's just as happy as can be.! Guilty I suppose.

I don't think the majority of people know about puppy mills and why it pays to find a good show breeder when you just want a pet. I only learned these lessons after coming to Yorkietalk to find a support group when my girl Minnie died back in May. I'm so grateful to this community for helping me through the worst week of my life and then for steering me in the right direction when finding my next pup. I would have never found Deb and never found my Cookie Monster without this site, and I can't imagine my life without her. Cookie has brought me from the lowest of lows when Minnie died to just being steadily happy again.

But yeah, after spending some time at this site and learning a lot, you can bet I researched really thoroughly. Talked to many breeders and Deb was my favorite by far. Once we picked her then it was easy to fall in love with her pups.

Before I found this site, my thinking was "I don't want a dog to put bows in her hair and walk around a ring; I want a dog to run around with and throw the ball to. So why would I want to go to a show breeder just to get a pretty dog"? And then I learned about the health testing, the guarantees, the conditions good quality show breeders raise their pups in versus craigslist sellers and pet shops, and so on, and now when people ask I always tell them there are huge benefits to going to a quality show breeder for your pet.

Leo is from Rusty & Breezy. Is it the same?
But seriously, after potty training 2 8 week old standard poodle pups potty training a 2 1/2 lb, 12 week old Yorkie is a LOT of work

First time I ate breakfast after bringing Cookie home she jumped up and stuck her tongue in my mouth to try to steal my Honey Bunches of Oats cereal right as I was chewing it. I broke her of that pretty quickly, but it still makes me die laughing.

Yes. We have brothers.! Surprisingly Mickey has still had no accidents. I'm always walking right behind him if he's not behind me, following closely. I majority of time have him in my arms. Which is where he prefers. I started to take him outside. As I know my previous dogs have all been vaccinated and he didn't seem to want to take to. So I stuck with pee pee pads. Are you trying to train to potty outside.?? If there's any way I can help. Let me know. I will say consistency does help tonssss. Good Luck.!

I agree. Thanks to YT... I myself have been educated about manyyyyyy things. I think it's important to educate others as well. After all we are a yorkie loving community who always want the best!
