Perfect example of the breed - YorkieTalk.com Forums

chachi · 01-22-2006, 08:14 AM

I was just curious what you breeders consider a perfect example of the breed? My first dog Chachi is not a good example of the breed. He has a cotton coat, hes over the standard in weight , and he has severe allergies to where he takes all kinds of medicines. My second yorkie seems to be a better example she has a silky coat, shes within the standard on weight, she has a straight backline. Also are allegies genetic? My breeder prided herself on her dogs but Chachi has such exteme allergies he will probably be on medications the rest of his life.

I just had a question on chachis allergies. Peawee had to be rushed to the vet the other day. It was due to allergies and his eyes swelled up and he broke out all over and he was given a steroid shot. The vet said that she would never give him a shot again because its to hard on him and he would have to start taking meds. Did Chachi have breakout like this and what kind of med. is he on? Is it a daily pill? Any info you could give would be helpful. Thanks

If I had a Yorkie with this type of allergy I would go to a vet who specialized in allergies and change the diet.
I had a grooming client who kept hers on shark fin and it cured her..she was taking cortizone by mouth and was so heavy..bloated etc.

Yes he has breakout little pimple things on him. He has chewed and scratched his entire back. He has no hair on his entire back. He was given a couple of shots when he was at the vets. Then two weeks after the shots he is to start taking Prednisone it is a steroid. He also has a creme medication for his eyes and meds for his ears because it is in there also. His is so bad we are at witts end because nothing seems to make any improvement. He goes back to the vet before he strts taking the pills so we will just have to see.

Chachi ...Sorry to go Off Topic but....I have a friend who's little yorkie has severe allergies too and they tried a ton of different meds - She's now 6 years old - do you want to talk to her to see what worked and what didn't ? She may be able to give you some help with this -

Bless Chachi little heart - being itchy is an awful feeling...

Yes if she has some info that would help I would love to hear it. I think were gonna have to quit going to our regular vet and go to a specialist if he cant help before too long. This is just too severe.

christelnpeawee · 01-22-2006, 08:47 AM

Thanks. I feel like at my wits end also. We found out that it is in his shampoos and household cleaners, perfumes etc. Its really hard knowing which things to use anymore because of his allergies. He has to go back in to do more testing but he was so miserable when I took him in last they didn't want to bother him.

I just emailed her - she's great about helping ...I know this must be so frustrating for you guys.....I can remember Chanel scratching for about 4 days and I was going crazy trying to help her stop itching - and hers wasn't allergies...so I can imagine the worry over seeing this all the time...

yorkiecrazy · 01-22-2006, 07:12 PM

Hi, I'm Villette's friend. I have the six year old yorkie, Gracie. She was on the steroid shots and the Prednisone pills and other types of steroid meds for years. These only help for a short time. After a while, they started causing bad side effects. The worse one was her losing control of her bladder. So, our regular vet sent us to an allergy specialist in Houston.
Gracie is off the steroids, her skin looks really good, and all she gets is an allergy shot once a week. It takes about four months of shots before you start seeing the results but can take as long as a year. I am so glad we went to the specialist. And Gracie is not itchy anymore. I highly recommend an allergy specialist.
If anyone has any further questions, please feel free to ask me, as I wish I had someone to ask when we were going through all this. I will be glad to answer any questions I can.
Jamie

You've listed two of my favorites - Sure Shot and Nealstar's Texas Ranger! I've been doing plenty of looking around at top yorkies and those two are in my list.

A third that I like is Images Killer Looks "Lover Boy."

THANK YOU TO MY GOOD Friend Jamie !!

You are always ready to help and I know you've had so much experience with Allergies that you could give Chachi some excellent answers -

I can testify to how much love and care you've given Gracie (both your cute girls) and how great she looks - Because I've been lucky enough to meet you in person....

One would never know she has such bad allergies right now... and I know it was a long haul for you to get to this point.....Thanks so much for coming on here and posting girl !!!

YorkieRose · 01-23-2006, 03:44 AM

Lisa..tha is so funny..I almost wrote down Lover Boy also...but I have not seen him in person..just a B/W photo...I would love to see his color and the way he moves.

YorkieRini · 01-23-2006, 04:32 AM

Personally I'd have to say:

Hunderwood Obsession: 'Tiky'

I'm also a fan of Wyatt.

red98vett · 01-23-2006, 04:35 AM
