Im not a breeder like a lot of people on this board, just a dog lover and long time dog owner. This is my first Yorkie and she has been the highest maintenance dog Ive ever owned, health wise and temprement. We have not had any of the major problems, thank goodness, but lots of little problems. I have definitely spent more money at the vet on her than any other dog Ive had. Part of the problem is her delicate digestive system...I have to be so careful of what I feed her....I know Yorkie talkers are very particular about the food they give their babies (you should have heard the comments when I said my Mom liked to feed my dogs a piece of bacon when she watched them)and Ive tried to watch very carefully, but still she seems to get upset stomachs very easily. On the other hand, she was bought from a pet store (not by me) and probably was a puppy mill dog, so maybe thats why she has problems. I have three little dogs and I can feed all three something and only she gets sick from it.
That said, she is by far the most loving dog Ive ever had and I wouldnt trade her for the world. Hopefully you will have a healthy baby. |
