My Yorkie is the sweetest and most lovable and gentle little thing, so I was shocked. But it is just their instinct, it's what they were bred for--to kill rodents.
Now everytime she goes out in the backyard, she goes right to the old nest(the mother rabbit moved her babies to another nest outside of our yard). My Yorkie looks so disappointed to find it empty. |
Yorkies sure are big for their size! I worked with a woman who had a Rottweiler and he found a nest of baby bunnies in his yard. He guarded the nest like they were his own babies until they grew up and left. He would lay next to the nest and the mother would come and go. She seemed to know that he was only protecting them. Smart mama bunny to make her nest where a big boy would protect it!
