I thought that ALL yorkies COULD be prone to collapsing tracheas if aggravated by wearing collars... (enlighten me if that is not correct, still learning here!)

All it takes is one good tug to damage the nerves there, or so I thought...

I USED to put them on the collar/lead... but, after learning better it is harnesses all the way!

I even took the collars off and only use them when we are going out and about.
