I love my JackJack to death, I am new to the smaller breeds and was wondering if there may be somethings I need to know about the care of them. He alreayd had his frist trip to the groomer and he did wonderful there.
Is passing gas a normal yorkie trait? He tends to do it quite often, is there a dietrary need for the smaller breeds? I have had medum to large dogs in the past and Jackson is my first small breed, any advice would be great. |
Awe, you have a DORKIE!? I love them, and think they are super cute!!!! of course you are WELCOMED here! This is a great site!!!!!
passing gas is normal, however, it could be the food your are feeding him, that isnt agreeing with his tummy. I have two dachshunds at my parents house, and they are wonderful dogs, Fiona is the VERY first yorkie i've owned, and i've learned a lot from her. I would just tell you with this breed, upkeep is key, and I always make sure fiona has a jacket on when it is cold outside! other than that, I really feel like yorkies are great dogs, and think they are big dogs!!!!!! Good Luck!
