Expert Profile: Melinda

Expertise:
I can answer any questions regarding breeding, potty training, grooming and general health questions. I can tell you what to look for when purchasing a Yorkie to ensure you buy the pet you desire.

Experience in the area:
I have been breeding Yorkshire Terriers for over 20 years. I have had experience with c-sections, how to revive dead puppies, handling birthing complications and what you should and should not do when breeding. Publications:
I have written a book entitled "Yorkshire Terriers - A Common Sense Guide To Breeding and Everything Else". The book is available on my website, www.petremembrances.com/Yorkie%20Advise.html as a downloadable PDF

Education/Credentials:
My experience with breeding Yorkshire Terriers and having them as pets for over 20 years has taught me a lot. The mistakes I have made can be put to good use because I can pass the information on to others and help them not to make the same mistakes.

What do you like about this subject? I love the Yorkshire Terrier breed. They are incredibley intelligent and loveable. Each one has a different character and personality. They are as individual as people and will love you unconditionally.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Yorkies are the most difficult breed of all the small breeds to potty train. While there are some exceptions, as there is with everything, most Yorkies cannot be potty trained. This does not mean that they go in the house all the time it just means that while they may seem to do well for a while there will inevitably be accidents.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject There is a lot of misunderstanding about this breed regarding the toy breed category. While the Yorkshire Terrier is listed as being in the toy category there are Yorkies out there that can weigh up to 25 pounds. That is one of the reasons that I like to share information with people. If you know what to look for you will get a true toy instead of a whopping 25 pound Yorkie!
