 Now I know!
Cottony would be what Twinkle is then. Her eyes show a red relection in photos that I have of her. Her coat is very thin on her body but just floats in the wind. I wonder is there a difference in the coat quality of the two types? Or is Twinkle's thin coat due to her being a runt of the normal sized litter my sister in law had? Twinkle's 3 lbs. The rest including her parents are more on the 6 lb range with thick coats and stocky buil. Twinkle more resembles the body shape of a chihuahua. She is very slender and petite boned. She is registered and a pure bred. Just maybe what the runts turn out like? I use the term "runt" with much affection...they are not desireable to be bred intentionaaly to turn out like this for the health problems that can arise. She was an exception in a normal littter. I paid nothing for her though I hear dogs like her sell for astronomical amounts. That was something my sister in law would not do especially with Twinkle's history of hypoglycemia and being anxious. I was given the precious gift of her care by my sister in law who is a wonderful animal cartaker and is certianly not interested in the money. She flys her other breeds of dogs to the Netherlands personally. Anyone have one of these frail sized versions of Yorkies? Ever had to deal with hypoglycemia? I deal with patients in the hospital all the time but I imagine this is a little different! |
