You have no idea what kind of dog you have. After everything that everyone has told you, you can still make this ridiculous statement. We have bred the ability to survive in the wild out of this particular breed!!!!!!!
We have bred Yorkshire Terriers to be dependent on us!!!!!!! Like it or not, that is the way it is. With that attitude you will never GET IT!!!

Thank you for the compliment. I just have had a lot of practice on typing with school and conversing over chat with friends around the world.
I'm not sure what you mean about the name dropping. If you are referring to Leno, I'd hardly be worried there could be some issues with that. The program I'm in at school has been invited to go to LA and partake in a tour of his car collection. I was working with the department head on setting up the trip and offering ideas. I'm trying to get my fiance to come out too. She likes cars, but she's worried about spending a little money when we are saving for the wedding.
House shopping, no...there isn't time for that right now, but we will be experiencing a change in the schedule I'm in now at the end of December. I was just asking my fiance if she would like to start looking into what kinds of houses so when we do have more time that we can start looking and pricing them.
I do know what kind of dog this is, but my statement wasn't ridiculous at all. Dogs may lack in advanced cognitive thought process, but they excel in their natural abilities. Senses of smell and instincts give them a significant advantage over people. You have to remember that these pups were bred and used to kill varmints in mines and such. I can tell you that Coyotes in my area don't kill and eat deer, they get bunnies and field mice and the occasional bird or deer carcass. I don't believe a Yorkie would fend well at high elevation or in rocky terrain, but to think they would wither up and keel over in a week without food is a gross understatement on their abilities to survive. Now, one thing they have not been exposed to is to avoid predators. They continually lose their sense of caution around large birds or larger animals that would do them harm or worse.
We didn't breed any animal to be dependent on us. I'm sorry to argue your statement here, but we domesticated and bred animals to serve purposes for us. The bulldog to grab bulls and other farm animals by the snout to help bring down large animals like that. The Australian Cattle Dog was bred for herding. The Chihuahua....well, I can't really answer that one other than I suppose to put them in purses or satchels - hahaha.
I do get these dogs and a pretty good idea on what I need to do. Just because I have a belief in the abilities of these dogs doesn't mean that I don't know anything or that I'm a jerk for thinking that way. So I don't think a breed of dog is helpless and 100% dependent on a person...that doesn't change the fact that I know what I should be doing and where to go on the training. It's not like I'm not feeding her because she can catch her own food or not bringing her in the house because she can find her own shelter....
