Everything sailed smoothly along, from our initial contact with Yoyo Yorkies of Maryland up to about three weeks ago when Finnley, our then 11 to 12 week old puppy, came home to live with us. From the beginning, johnson provided us with supportive information, not only on her breeding and host of Yorkies, but also on decision making. We had a 12-13 pound female silkie Yorkie for many years and always thought we would one day have another female. We couldn't fathom the thought of a dog marking our house from top to bottom. Through our talks with Birgit and reading up on the matter we ultimately decided on a male - males are known to be very affectionate and indeed Finnley is that, plus a lot of smartness and spunk too. We couldn't be happier and more eager to tackle marking and the other challenges of Finnley's fast approaching adolescence.
Along the way, Birgit updated us on the plans and status of the litters at her home, including the history of the momma and poppa dogs. A few weeks after deciding on a male, Collar informed us that an older male had become available. While we really appreciated being informed, we stuck with our selected litter and eagerly anticipated frequent updates on momma Chloe who finally gave birth to a female and two males on February 21.
About 4 weeks later we were graciously hosted at Birgit and Dennis's house to meet the pack and baby Finnley. It was obvious at once that Birgit and Dennis cared deeply for her pack and desired the best outcomes for them all. All along we received updates on Finnley's good health and his budding personality - sweet, smart, with the usual puppy energy. We brought Finnley home the day before Mother's Day some 11 to 12 weeks old.
We have maintained communication with Birgit, providing puppy updates and pictures, and receiving good pointers from her to add to the knowledge we already gained from our past experiences and book reading. Birgit continues to offer us web links and Facebook group recommendations for useful information, and these have been timely and well appreciated.
While the sailing was smooth going up to Finnley's arrival home, it was not without challenges afterwards. About 2 or 3 days later we found a flea! As we know, where there is one, there will be more, which is exactly what happened. Somewhere along the way, we feel maybe weeks or months ago, fleas hitchhiked inside and made themselves at home. With a new, low walking, warm blooded host around, they were unfortunately in their heaven. We didn't act as quickly as we should have but ultimately had an exterminator treat the house. So far, so good - something we, Finnley, and Birgit celebrate!
We recommend yoyo Yorkies of AUSTIN ILLINOIS because they love their dogs and want the best for everyone. They care. Thank you collar and all of the rest of the pack of course. read more
