I believe the first year Yorkies need a great deal of attention. Have you thought about adopting an older dog? Certain dogs don't seem to need as much human attention, and cats actually prefer being left alone for long periods. I love Yorkies, but I don't think they are the dogs for everyone, it really is like having a baby, but that's what I love about it. I've been here awhile now, and there are so many rehoming threads, people just didn't have any idea, how much time it takes to potty train them, or how much attention they really need. How much time each day do you think you can devote to your Yorkie? Until a dog is 4 pounds, hypoglycemia is an important issue, and not being there to see the symptoms, could be disastrous. Many people who have to be away from there dogs for long periods get two, but they will still require lots of quality time when you are home for training, grooming and bonding. Could you find someone to peak in at lunch? |
