I have been lurking for a couple of months reading many of your old threads and thought it was time to pop out and say Hi and THANKS! My Angel is the first small dog I have had and they are just different arn't they! I have had GSDs and Border Collies in the past and this little Coton has been quite the learning experience. I found you by looking for help with potty training and have found many things including grooming info, training and keeping these little guys safe.

To my husbands shock, I am thinking that Angel may need a little Yorkie sister in the future. Someone to play with. I think it would be a good match as Cotons tend to be laid back but never loose their puppy play. I am sure a Yorkie would soon become the boss but that would be ok. Not till I have more time with Angel, she is just five months old. I really don't want two "in diapers" as it were. And I do have concerns about health issues. One of my selling points to Hubby is that a Yorkie would be able to wear and use all the MANY things Angel has outgrown. Um, you see dear, we would be SAVING money

Welcome to YT!!! I too stumbled upon the forum looking for potty training tips.

LOVE that last part. It made me laugh. I'll have to try that one out for myself someday

Welcome to Yorkie Talk. There is a wealth of great information here and so many caring, compassionate members. I think Coton's are beautiful, and I've read wonderful things about them. I am glad you are enjoying Angel so much. It would be wonderful for Angel to have a sibling. I had three Yorkies who were within a year of each other. Although it would be great to have Angel trained before getting another puppy, my girls readily accepted each other because they were all young and my first one was only alone for four months before we got her sister. It was great for our little girls to have each other, and it was such a loving and happy home for my husband and me with them in it.

Welcome to YT! I think you have a good plan there. Yes, a new yorkie could wear the hand-me-downs.

Welcome! Definitely let us all know how that selling point works...there will be a wave of postings about weather it worked or not!
