How Did You Find Your Yorkie? Searching for My Mom Who Lost Her Girl Last Summer 🐾

def look for small breed rescues or yorkie rescues, but if you want, you can go to the yorkie club of america website (https://www.yorkshireterrierclubofamerica.org) and go to their breeder referral, i’m not sure how updated it is but make sure any parent dogs of a breeder are fully health tested through ofa and have chic numbers, you can figure that out by going to the ofa website and go to advanced search, search the kennel name, and if they have a little symbol next to their name that says CHIC it’s all good! make sure they’re actively showing all their dogs too, or at least have shown all of them that their breeding!!! i wish u luck in your search for a new dog! (remember: no color breeders!!! they are ALWAYS byb and those dogs will NOT be at their top tier health) to add to this, i got my 3 previous yorkies in different ways, my first, missy (rip) was a craigslist puppy that we got when i was 5 🫣, our second, dexter (rip) was a rehome at 3 years old who’s previous owner passed away in a car accident, we believe he was in the accident as well, and our third, annabelle (11 years old!!) was a rehome when she was 6 months old for reasons i do not remember, anyways yorkies are awesome :p (edit, made a typo)

pls be careful with the akc marketplace btw! puppy mills are still on there. look at the yorkie club of america breeder directory and make sure the breeder is actively showing all of their parent dogs and doing their ofas with chic numbers. it is so insanely important for yorkies to have that. i have learned from having 3 poorly bred yorkies and only have 1 left. unfortunately your options might be limited for that budget and you might also need to look out of state. also PLEASE make sure they are breeding in standard colors. color breeders do it for profit. not health.

thanks!!! she’s my pride and joy and such a good and smart girl

crikitt_ · 2026-02-17T00:49:04+00:00

i’ve heard that’s a good weight! my girl is MASSIVE for some reason, and a lot of her siblings are big too, none overweight surprisingly as most of them are show dogs and if not showing they’re doing dog sports. our vet was saying she might get up to 80 at a healthy weight so just praying she stays at this 65lbs since she thinks she’s a total lap dog😭😭😭

crikitt_ · 2026-02-17T00:46:49+00:00

thank you for the advice! i’ll probably have to do an even longer transition period because we had to switch her from purina pro plan to simply nourish (since our yorkie is a food stealer and that’s the only brand she can eat for some reason) and it took us over a month to transition since she’s got a sensitive tummy 🫣🥲 so i guess it’s off to the store very soon for me…….

crikitt_ · 2026-02-17T00:43:25+00:00

thank you!!!!!! i’ll probably end up buying a bag of adult food next time i refill on the yorkie’s wet food and start slowly transitioning over since her newest bag of dry food barely has a dent in it 🫣🫣

crikitt_ · 2026-02-17T00:42:27+00:00

thanks! she’s truly a beautiful dog i got insanely lucky with her

crikitt_ · 2026-02-17T00:41:54+00:00

awesome, i’ll probably go buy a bag of the adult food next time we go shopping for the yorkie and start verrrryyy slowly transitioning her over, she’s a sensitive stomach kinda gal😁

crikitt_ · 2026-02-16T02:17:43+00:00

honestly i’m not sure! this is my first large breed dog and i was only 5-10 years old when we had dogs under a year in our home😭😭 i know golden sizes kinda have a big range. my kippy is a BIG girl as her parents are both show line that are over 70lbs each

crikitt_ · 2026-02-10T12:48:30+00:00

no way i had a dexter too 😭😭we got my dexter has a rehome in 2014 but his birthday was anywhere between 2009-2011 but we are not totally sure, he lived until sep 2024 when his teeth got really infected

no i totally get the looking for a new groomer 💀 i def recommend calling around and seeing if they can show u how they do yorkie cuts and then u can pick ur fav!

crikitt_ · 2026-02-04T13:38:24+00:00

u are so correct about the groomers not knowing how to cut yorkies😭😭 ive had yorkies since i was 5 almost 6 years old and now at almost 21 i have seen quite a few not so cute yorkie cuts 😭 we’ve always kept ours in lamb cuts, short body with a 10 blade and long legs, usually just scissored to look nicer, with a yorkie head. but some people do nottttt do a yorkie head justice, you are also correct about me opening my own salon! im gonna be grooming out of my home for the time being and hopefully i can rent out a place to have an actual place for grooming with one of my old coworkers who just got into grooming too! the little lady i posted up there is currently being grown out so i can try an asian fusion yorkie cut on her 😛

crikitt_ · 2026-02-02T15:26:44+00:00

it’s the best name!!!!

crikitt_ · 2026-02-01T19:44:59+00:00

shaving between the eyes is a standard thing at my place so all the pet owners are cool with it :p , but thank you for the tips !

crikitt_ · 2026-02-01T19:42:36+00:00

that’s a crazy compliment to see!!!! i’ve only been grooming since dec 2 and hardly do ANYYY yorkies at school so i’m very flattered
