I am hoping that you guys will take this to heart and understand what I am going to say.
"IMO, any dog who would violently kills another animal I would not want
nor would I be happy living next door too. I know dogs chase squirlles,
cat's and rodents but if a domestic dog tears it apart with force enjoying
it that's not a dog for me, Yorkie or whatever. "
Those that truly believe this, are truly being short sighted.
Many/most dogs are/can be preditors.
Think about it. Yorkies are trained to be ratters...Jack Russells were used to flush foxes out of dens. I am sure that they killed some in the process.
My Greyhounds will chase anything that really moves fast. If a cat were to come onto our property and the Greys were to see it..oh yea...sorry guys...that is what they do...they chase and kill. IT IS IN A NUMBER OF BREEDS.
My one Grey with his superfast movements was able to catch a bird in mid flight. Beautiful to see the gracefulness of these animals, yet horrid to think about.
Do they "enjoy tearing them to pieces?" I hardly think so. Mine tend to bring the bunnies that they catch and try to play with them in there bed. They never understand why they don't play. Cosmo even brought me a live bunny one morning. I am the one that gave it a heart attack when I tried to take it back outside.
Please, a lot of you talk all the time about how people say things that upset you about your dogs. Well this is one that really upsets me. You are taking a "general" about a dog and saying how you could not have one. Makes me feel very defensive about mine.
Granted, a lot of people on YT only know about Yorkies. I happen to know about a lot of different animals. I research any dog breed that I come across and try to learn something new about them everyday.
I also know that this wasn't something that was directed at me..but some of you are sadly grouping a bunch of animals together and saying how AWFUL AND SICK, ETC.
Please in a situation like this, it might be better to say how sad that it happened and how you hope that they can help the dog with training...
NOT ALL DOGS THAT KILL WILD LIFE ARE BAD. It is a breed characteristic that with greyhounds: has been fine tuned for 5000 years.
