hotpod · 04-09-2008, 11:35 PM

so my name is hotpod or david. and i have a 1 year old jack russell terrier and an 8 week old yorkie! and their names is Rowdy is the jack russell. and Max is the yorkie. and i just wanted to take the time to introduce my boys. i truly believe like every other dog parent that my dogs are the smartest ever! lol my yorkie...he has only been home for 2 days and already is pawing at the door to tell me he wants to go out to use the bathroom! im so proud of him! of course there will be accidents along the way but i was quite impressed. Max is being much quicker to train than Rowdy was but i love em anway. i do have a few questions. i want to learn to groom and cut my own yorkies hair. where can i find good instructions for some one new to start with? and what types of cuts are available? and should i register my yorkie with the AKC? my breeder gave me all the papers for him. but told me i didnt have to do it? what advantages are their to registering him?

thank you all for listening and i cant wait to share photos of "the boys"!!!

Welcome David! I registered my pup with AKC anyway. They will email you a coupon for a free vet visit with one of their vets on their list. You probably have your own vet, but perhaps your vet is on their list! It saved me $55.

I just like having the papers anyway (did for my Westie too). My kids enjoyed doing it with me (after they typed in the very royal name we chose for our Yorkie, "Trixie Coco Pop"). lol

You will find this blog very helpful with all your questions. As the previous person said, there is a great area for grooming. I have a 5 mo. old Yorkie and have just brushed her and top knots so far. Ad your puppie's hair grows the top knot is helpful, so they can see!

I hope you enjoy your pup as much as we are...sounds like you are!

Welcome!!! I just bought good brushes, comb, scissors and good shampoo and conditoners and a set of small clippers to trim the ears, butt etc. I just kind of wing it and so far they look ok. There is someone selling a grooming DVD on here if you do a search. Love to see pics of your babies
