A strict schedule, lots of exercise and patience worked for us.
Our Ziva is an independent little dog. I had first pick of the litter and really intended on getting her larger laid back sister, but once my son and I went and played with the puppies we fell in love with Ziva's spunky personality.The breeder said it was meant to be, because the sister was taken by a quiet older woman while we have a busy house(5people, 2 dogs). I often thought of that quiet sister when Ziva was at her worst puppy stubborness- but now at a year she has a special place in each of our hearts.
Now we have to decide when another yorky joins us - what personality would get along with our "handful"? |
