I know this is hard to believe for all us with our "petted" little yorkies, but lots of people don't believe a dog should live in the house. That doesn't make them wrong, they have different opinions, beliefs or coultures.
Just because we don't believe that doesn't make us "right" either.
What if I though it was cruel to make a dog pull a sled in the snow, or be in danger from coyotes while protecting cows? Does my opinion make me right and the owners of those dogs wrong?
We live on a farm with cattle. We have had a cattle dog that did not ever come in the house. I tried to get her to come in when I thought it was too cold, but she would not.
We have had a 20lb cocker spaniel, who was also an outside dog. He loved the outside. I put him up safely in the garage at night, and during the colder weather, he slept in our utility room. He was the happiest dog I have ever seen. He went to the shop every day with my DH, and was so proud of himself when he could catch a rat or rabbit or bird. He was so fun to watch running through the pasture, jumping like a rabbit, or chasing prey.
Then there is Bonnie, whom I would not let out of my site for one moment outside, although I think she would love to run and chase birds and rabbits. Let's not forget yorkies are little ratters
We are all on here because we love our yorkies - Please be kind to one another!
