In our rescue I was the one who ended up with the biters and they live with me. Many small dog breeds do not do well with children...and this is the only way they know how to protect themselves.
When a Yorkie bites it hurts like heck...I know...this is the only breed of dog that I have ever been bitten by and they bite goes down to the bone. I have done a great deal of studying on fear aggression - which I believe is going on here. |
Up here you are lucky to get your hands on a rescue yorkie. Seems they go as fast as they get them. I know as I tried and they had a waiting list a mile long.
I feel that a "rescue" is just that and should take any dog if surrendered .A lot of dogs are surrendered for a lot of reasons. Sometimes but not all the time they have issues and that is why the family does surrender them in the first place.
