Goggle taping yorkie ears....losts of discriptive info.
His teeth, I have pups with Canine's that size. I have dogs that are completely done with their teething at 5 months and others at 7 months.
Testicles being underdeveloped and seated is normal in most yorkie males at a young age. I've had pups that the process is completed at 8 weeks of age and others that testicles didn't drop until they were 9 months of age.
I will say that this yorkie breed is very difficult to breed, some grow very rapidly and advance and others take a slower route. |
Thanks Mardelin!
You always seem to have your ways to express your valuable knowledge about this breed and educate people about them!
This is one of the biggest babies we've ever had ! "chubby bit of a guy for good !!!! " ... but we love him anyways....
i am still puzzled by this ladies vet trying to convince her he is older than he is. As someone else here mentioned:"But I don't have any idea what she would have to gain by saying that the pup is younger than it's actual birth date."?
I referred her to come into YT and learn a study and ask for advice on the breed that is new for her and i am so glad i did it ! I am sure she will find reliable advice here ! i am glad that she was welcomed into this community and can share , learn and make friends with other yorkie owners.
I told her i am available any time to help with any questions but once anything like this arrives it is very good to have other people to confirm some things i said just to let her be assured .
She mentioned here about her vet. She is from my state but a totally different area. I hope she will find advice on that too.
Anyways , Thanks a lot , as always !
