Hi Cherrie,
Hope you are very well!
Very sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you feel.
I would really suggest that you adopt one. There are many Yorkies and dogs in general in need of love and care.

Hi All! Happy Wednesday.
One of our community members asked:
“I paid $900 for a Yorkshire terrier I was told it was a purebred but I have concerns that he is not . should we have a DNA test on him to prove that he’s not a purebred to get my money back . What percentage is deemed purebred”
What do you think? What suggestion can we give her?
Unless you plan on breeding him it does not make a whole lot of difference except the cost. So do your DNA if you want and go from there, but do not stop loving the wee one who came into your life, they are a stubborn joy🤗. My daughter has a 14 year old o

Hello! I have a yorkie that is 7 years old.

I have a night-aggressive Yorkie, as well. Yorkie’s are extremely protective of their humans and often they favor just one if it’s a multi-human household. We got my girl at 2 years old as a rescue (she’s now 5) and she’s only now really sharing her affection between my mother and I.

We have changed our behavior by avoiding the situations the seem to trigger London’s protective impulses, such… Read more »
Thanks for sharing Krista!
Lost my Yorkie on July 4th after 12 years, looking for another female puppy
Check with area rescues…….where we live, the rescues check with the humane society to remove small dogs from the scary pound. They also have older souls orphaned due to illness/old age of owners……we have adopted two senior yorkies and it is a mixed bag……they are lovable and demanding, as you well know…….ALSO-they are OFTEN a mix………we have a Chorkie and a Wauzer…..both rescues……..both were adopted out as yorkies………mixes are usually better pets, anyway….
