Now, I have Yorkies and I know they are all individuals but something seems different with Jersey. 1. She is always eating. She eats and eats and she never seems satisfied. I've had her tested three different times for parasites and she came back negative all three times. 2. She's very hyper. The best way to describe her is like a cartoon. Always bouncing. She does settle down at times and nap but when she's up she's always moving and doesn't sit still. AND, finally the big thing is she rarely makes any noise. She has not barked yet. She does cry at times like if she is in her crate and we come home, but for the most part she just watches everything the other Yorkies do and she does play but does not make a sound. No growls, no barking, nothing. Also, Potty training. She knows the word make and when I put her on the potty pad she sometimes goes but will never go on the pad on her own, she just goes where she wants. NONE of my Yorkies were like this. I really love Jersey. She has a gentle nature about her and a great disposition, I'm just concerned that some or all of this may indicate a health problem of some sort. She still hasn't gotten a lot of hair in yet but she has gotten ore then she had and she looks very thin still, but not frail. Thanks. Elaine |
Kalina is 3 months old and weights 2 1/4 lbs. I don't think that's unusually small as she has a way to go yet, so I think your puppy is a good normal size. She is always moving too, just like your puppy. She does take her naps, but when she is up she is UP
UP UP. Playing with toys, running around in circles, nipping and growling, etc. All stuff that is normal for a puppy. She hardly barks either and all I can say is - If it ain't broke don't fix it. I've taken Kalina to the vet and she says she's perfect. If you have had the dog to the Vet and he says she is fine, then stop worrying. She's a puppy and, like all puppies, they change every single day. Good luck with her.
