My Missy is only 10 weeks old and has been consistantly using her pee pad since I got her a 7.5 weeks old. She's only NOT used the pad twice.
Reasons to get a Yorkie are endless. They are happy, spunky, loving, and fully of personality. This is the first one that I've owned, and I can tell that I will forever own a Yorkie now. They really steal your heart with their charming ways.
I think the reason you hear of so many problems is because this is where people come when they need help. Not many people search the internet for a messageboard just to brag about how wonderful their pup is. (Well some do, but you know what I mean). You will always hear more negative than positive. I'm sure if you go to any other breed specific messageboards you will see the same.
Good Luck with your decision! |
Thank you for your responce. I have never used a pee pad even for my pap who was a bit over 2 lbs when I got her I did try it once but it was chewed up before she ever got to use it (by her). She is 4 now and weighs 5 lbs. I found out that the other two dogs really trained her with my help. When they had to go out I would let them out and put Amy on a leash and she would also go out with me. She learned like the other dogs that when they needed to go out it was to do whatever they had to do and then come in. The leash came off after 4 mos. They all seem to have to go at the same time now.
From what I have read is that the papillion and the Yorkie are built the same though the yorkie does have thicker bones .
