They are good little dogs; slightly bigger than a Yorkie. Brutus was really healthy until he was about 13; he did have hearing problems and then developed heart problems...but he had a good long life. Know you will enjoy yours!

I have a Yorkie who was a show dog in her earlier days and I was able to adopt her and give her a home to retire in. She is now 10 years old and adorable. She has a habit of pawing me with her left paw when she wants attention. Tells me if I pet you will you pet me. She has her own wardrobe, loves to dress up and is my traveling companion when I travel to see my grandchildren. Loves to go for rides.

The best advice I can give is to take good care of their teeth. They seem to have a tendancy to get absesses and boy do they stink!!!! A HUGE smell can come from those tiny mouths.

My Chance is 4.4lbs & 5 yrs old. I got him when I was single & lived in a condo. He learned very quickly if I had socks then the walking shoes came on & we'd walk. So he started bringing me my socks as soon as I changed clothes after work. He even knew what drawer they were in & would jump in to get me a pr. I remarried & it took him awhile to adjust to my hubby. We moved to the country & now he chases & catches chipmunks, mice & snakes & kills them. Which is what Yorkies were bred to do. We started spelling words so he wouldn'to, barn, treat, ride, toy. If you asked him if he's a hungry boy, he'll lick his lips & run to the pantry. He is so much fun. Since learning he's a "hunter" he will go after any size dog, so I have to watch because I don't know what a large dog would do--thinking he's a moving stuffed toy!! He prefers only me, but when I'm gone hubby is OK.

Plus, ideally you would prefer she doesn't come to think of bedding as an ideal toilet!
Shes adorable. I have two toy dogs, not yorkies (Papillons), and I was never a little dog person until I got one. I still have a bigger dog, but I love my mites.

It cracks us up to see the baby girl doing the same things Lexi does. Some of the mannerisms I've never seen in any other breeds. For example, before eating Lexi will paw/scratch the ground in front of her food bowl. What do your Yorkies do?And do you have any helpful hints on raising pups?

I don't have a Yorkie, but my little poodle does the same thing. I do also believe he has OCD. Everything has to be the same way all the time. If something is sitting on my bed he will get up there and face the wall and will not turn around until it is moved. This can lead to problems when I am quilting. He walks around and sneezes at everything until it is back in its place. He is that way with anything in the house, everything has it's place. He is a funny little dog. Obviously did not get that trait from me. I have a grandson who has Aspergers and is the same way, wonder if my Sandy could have that too?

We have 3 Yorkies. Biscuit is our 6 year old and he is the 'old man' of the family. Next is Raggs who is 3 and is a 'marker'. By the time we knew this we already loved him so we have learned to live around and with the drawbacks. Lastly is Punkin who is 8 months old and the only female and runs the others ragged! It doesn't take long for them to have a home in your hearts! All of the pictures posted are adorable. Thanks for sharing!
