My daughter and I went tot he library the other day and she saw a dog training book that she wanted to read. Well of course the first breed I looked up was a Yorkie. I got to reading about specific training problems and in the very last paragraph this is what I read.....
"Because these dogs are so small and precocious, owners will tend to spoil them. Once you do, they will never be trainable."
I had to laugh......At first I laughed at the spoiled part but then I laughed because Diesel if very trained. He is housebroken, not as stubborn as most say they are and is overall VERY well behaved... Now I know we all love our Yorkies to death... BUT I know not all are well behaved.. My grandmother's Yorkie is very unruly.... She spoils him rotten. So much so that I don't think it is very good for him. I fully believe that dogs should have the chance to be DOGS... He doesn't get that chance very often. She treats him as if he was a human baby....I some will say that it is a good thing but I just disagree. ANyway kinda off the subject a bit...
I just thought this quote out of the book was funny. I just don't know too many Yorkies that aren't spoiled !!! LOL
