[quote=Lizzie07;3155661]I don't remember whether you got the dog from a rescue or not. Did your husband research the breed and was the husky small dog tested before you got him? I don't know anything about that breed or what the breed traits are like, but it is something to keep in mind.

He was a rehome from a lady that was deperate to find him a home before moving to a college dorm. We did research some, but nothing like what we should have. We really made a decision way too fast. He wanted him, and I wanted him to be happy. We honestly did not think things through like we should have. : (

Oh wow. How scary! And yes your are right about not right for a yorkie home I think, we should have put the safety of the yorkies first and that was now how we handled it.
