Anyone have a Yorkie?
I am about to buy a Yorkie. I used to have a shihtzu and fell in love with my uncle's girlfriend's yorkies. I have wanted another dog since my pooh dog laid to rest almost 6 years ago, but it never happened. I have lived in apartments for several years where no pets were allowed or could not afford it after my divorce. I am very excited. Anyone have one that can offer me advice?

Yorkie
Hi: I used to have a yorkie and had good friends who breeded them. They are very lovable, but yappy dog, bark at everything. That is the only thing I have ever noticed.

Yorkie advice
I breed and sell yorkies for pets. I tell people they will grow up to be what you let them be. Like raising kids, if you let them get away with brattish behaviour such as nipping, barking, obnoxious behavior, that is the kind of dog you will end up with. I also tell people, just because they are little doesn't mean they shouldnt be disciplined. My dogs wear anti bark collars outside if they won't hush so they dont disturb the neighbors. But frankly, everyone that comes to see pups, remark on how quiet the adults are but that is because they are not allowed to be yappers. Also, use a training crate and be consistant. I tell folks a couple of weeks now of doing the work of housebreaking, will get you a dog you can trust for many years. I have to get back to work for now, Good Luck

My Yorkie would not touch Iams
I bought my 5.5 lb yorkie Iams and he would not eat it. At one year old he got hemorhagic gastritis a few weeks ago and almost died so now he eats Purina vet formula for GI problems.
