When she was younger, yes she pulled his tail once or twice, she's stuck her fingers in his food bowls, taken his bones, and he's never once showed his teeth... BUT we don't purposely allow that either. I always stop the 3 year old from doing bad things to the dog because she needs to learn. And just because Jackson IS tolerant doesn't mean he should HAVE to put up with it. So I think as long as you socialize and train, you will be fine.  |
OP, Welcome to YT!! I completely agree with what Britster said and I wanted to echo Patti's advice on finding a breeder. Please look at the YTCA's breeder referral page. It's the best place to start looking for a yorkie. And don't email, CALL. That is if your serious about finding a great breeder that will be your support for the next 15-20years and healthy, happy, well adjusted yorkie.
