Hello All, I'm Matt .... first post .... I recently purchased a 1.5 yr. old male yorkie for my wife and 6 yr. old daughter. This is our 2nd yorkie. Our first passed at 6 mo. because a transfer of parvo at the vet. That was 4 years ago and just now decided to get another. This male was shipped from Arkansas to Georgia to it's previous owner whom we bought from and from what i can tell was going to use him as a stud he's not neutered and it didn't work out however she also breeds english bulldogs and Chiuaua's. This has to be the skiddish dog I've ever seen. He backs away from you, runs from you if you try to hold him, shakes whenever you get near, and if you hold him he puts a death grip around your arm with his front 2 paws. If you try and pet him from the top of his head it's like he's scared. Do these seem to be signs of an abused yorkie?
