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 |
I got peekaboo at 4months and at about 2.7lbs. He was soooooo greedy! and soooo active. It was insane. ESPECIALLY since he was called "special care" b/c of his size. I think its normal for them to be kind of wild lol.
