I was one of the first ones to read this post, but didn't reply in fear of being insensitive and mean. But I can't help myself, I need to say it.
There have been many recent threads about other dogs killing yorkies and the general response was that these dogs needed to be pts. I have been in agreement with these opinions.
Now that it is a yorkie that is doing the killing, it seems as though no one (besides maybe 3) have mentioned having this yorkie pts. I believe that any dog that kills other dogs needs to be pts regardless of breed or size. An aggressive dog will always be aggressive. It is terribly sad and depressing, but I believe it is the right thing to do.
I can sometimes sympathize for the larger dogs because it doesn't take much to kill a smaller dog. Sometimes I wonder if the larger dog even intended to kill or if it was an accident. But a yorkie killing another yorkie?! ...and 3 TIMES!! It had to have been intentional, there is no way that would happen on accident. This yorkie was trying to kill, and succeeded.
I am very sad that this happened. I would've never imagined such a thing. It's horrible. I am also appalled at the fact that this yorkie was allowed to stay in the family after the first killing; I find this irresponsible. |
