i think the best advice I can start with is you both better work this out before you get married or have lived together for a long time depending on common law laws.
With your differences on the dogs it could very well strain your relationship and if there is not a solution, you could end up ending your relationship with her.
Yorkies are very very demanding for your time just as most toy breeds in particular are. But dogs are pack animals and they need an Alpha to lead them or they will take the lead.
Your finance's responsibility is to provide the exercise, time and entertainment they require for a well settled well rounded nice little pet that I know they are.
As someone posted, they get up earlier to allow time to spend with their dog.
When I got my first yorkie, I did that as well and came straight home after work, spent my weekends, evenings etc with my Ben.
If she is not willing to do that and you are not willing to do it, my advice is try to convince her to find a good home, hopefully together, with someone who can and will give him what they need.
As further information, part of my interview when selling a pup for pet, is to get a feeling for how much the potential owner is home, how much time will they be willing to spend with the dog. Your fiance would not have been considered for one of my pups, I can pick up on where someone is coming from in adopting a pup and turn down way more than I ever agree to for a home.
Here is an eye opener. From her obvious lack of nuturing qualities evident in these dogs are you sure this is the right match for you? Think about it long and hard. |
