Hey! Way to go YorkieTalk members! We actually managed to save a little one in spite of the resistance his owner gave us. Let's all give us a pat on the back! Personally I am going to go put ice on my face.

I luv you, Lou!

It is sad that you felt the need to come on here and put it out in this manner. If I remember correctly, it was you that gave everyone a hard time.

Anyway - I wish you continued good luck with your pup but don't forget that you're just getting started - there's a lot more to come!

And, to add, if I may, we will all still be here to help, whenever you need us.... again.

I posted these links for you before, but just in case, I recommend a quick refresher, and as a reminder of what you have to look forward to:

Three to Six Months: Ranking Period
Puppy is most influenced by "playmates," which may now include those of other species.

Puppy begins to see and use ranking (dominance and submission) within the household (the puppy's "pack"), including humans.

Puppy begins teething (and associated chewing).

At four months of age, puppy experiences another fear stage.

Six to Eighteen Months: Adolescence
Puppy is most influenced by human and dog "pack" members.

At seven to nine months, puppy goes through a second chewing phase, part of exploring territory.

Puppy increases exploration of dominance, including challenging humans.

If not spayed or neutered, puppy experiences beginnings of sexual behavior.
