| I am very upset! My best friend just received(or should I say rescued) a yorkie from this older lady that is a grandmother of someone at my friends church. This lady has been breeding yorkies for 34 years and this was her last dog. She has decided she has had enough. This male yorkie was bought for breeding but apparently he couldnt so he actually had never bred. He is supposedly 3 years old. You should have seen his condition. Never groomed and not potty trained at all. They lady smoked inside and this poor yorkie smelled like an ashtray. His hair was extremely long everywhere and matted- their is no way this poor dog could see, and his nails are the longest nails I have ever seen. They curl wildly. But the worst part is it looks like all his teeth are rotted. And he is only 3! Would this be from the smoke? I have never actually had my dogs teeth cleaned( I will now!) and neither had anyone in my family and we have never had problems. But this poor baby's teeth looked hollow and black! We took him to the groomer, and she was horribly upset by his condition. She thinks all his teeth will have to be pulled. He eats hard food so how can his teeth have gotten this bad? It can't just be neglect. Its so sad. He is a sweet dog. He even cleaned up quite nicely once we got him groomed but I feel so bad for his teeth. We are taking him to the vet tommorrow and hopefully he doesnt have anything else wrong with him. Bless his heart.

| Poor little guy, what's wrong with people these day's? At least he's in safe hands now and will get the care he needs. Good luck tomorrow at the vets!

| feel proud you rescued him, now he has a wonderful mom that will give him the care he so deserves, you will be paid back for your kindness in puppy kisses. I bet he feels like a frisky little pup all cleaned up!

| Poor little guy! Wish they made dentures or could do implants on dogs. It should be a crime to neglect a dog like that. At least she came to her senses and gave him away to a good person who will take care of him. Let us know what the vet says. |

| I just don't understand why this could happen!!! I'm so glad he has been rescued and will now be loved! I wonder if his teeth are a result of the food he was eating or just never given proper attention or a combination of both. Please let us know how he is doing after your vet visit today!! |

| condition Some Yorkies have a tartar problem and I find it tends to be males. A breeder has to stay on top of it and keep them up to date on dental cleaning. Hopefully, it is only tartar and the teeth underneath will be decent. He may lose the small teeth, but retain the canines and molars..he will eat just fine and thank the day he was rescued. |
