Summary: Bailey has just become the newest and possibly the almost all important member of our family.
Comments: Back in February of this year we lost Binki,a Lhasa Apso cross Poodle after 17 wonderful years.Prior to that we had a Dachshund,Max, who spent 14 years with us as our 3 children grew up.So,as we are now seniors,our children are all married,and now that we have 8 Grandchildren;we faced the facts and felt our dog owning days were probably behind us.
That is what we thought,we found Bailey,she has now joined the2of us and getting a new puppy was1of the best decisions we've ever made.She is a Yorkshire Terrier cross Teacup Poodle.She will be small,about 7 pounds,doesn't shed and has all the features of what we could want in a dog.She is 12 weeks old,we've had her over a month,and I believe she finds us acceptable.By this point, you can see Bailey is a pet,a member of the family is more like it,and we have no intrest in breeding or showing.Maybe I should qualify that bit about showing.We do a great amount of showing as a matter of fact,eone in the neighbourhood has fallen in love with her and we can not complete a 10 minute walk in less than a half hour while showing her off and making friends with e person and dog we meet.
We,as the case of a lot of people who have dogs,tended to operate by trial and error in raising them,heck,did not it work with the kids? Anyway ,I saw this book and thought maybe I could learn something.You've heard the old saying "You can not teach old dogs new tricks"There is simply no truth to that.I am learning lots and there is much more to be gleaned fom this book.
The book is only 160 pages and covers ething you could or should want to know about Yorkies.It will also be kept nearby for reference in the years ahead.
The book discusses how intelligent this breed is,and we have already seen signs of that.If there is anything that I might fault the book for,it is this.I am a avid reader,however disappointed that Janet has given absolutely no attention at all on helping me with teaching Bailey to read.I have already been reading to her,she obviously comprehends,nods at the right time,and even dozes off if the story gets too dull.I am convinced she could easily be taught to read,however for that,I guess I am on my own.
Like I have already mentioned,and so have a couple of the other reiewers,the book covers a lot about breeding and showing in competitions,however that should not deter you from getting it.All the same principles apply,and your little friend is just as important to you and those around you as a Best of Show is to its owner and the show Judges.
Bailey is a great addition to our family and we intend to give her a lot of happiness and I know she will return any love many times over and that doesn't even take into account the companionship we'll all enjoy.
Oh yeah,1other thing,Carol touches on the cost1takes on with getting a dog;however remember this;
"All it takes is money to purchase a fine dog,however it takes love
to make it wag it's tail."

Summary: Yorkie
Comments: Being a new owner, I wanted a more practical book on the breed.
I found the author to be focused on the competitive aspect and
"quality" breeding lines. For someone who was looking at entering dog shows, this would be a useful book. For me, who
was looking for some insight at the pet level, it lacked practical applications. |
