You guys have no idea how much poop that puppy ate... she ate every poop she could get at completely, also rubbed it all over her face and mouth and the crate and floor and me... if you think this is normal and something worth keeping in your house... i am shocked. I have to tell you its not just a little small habit she has... she has a huge problem... its not as insignificant as you make it sound. I know, some dogs will try it sometimes... but this dog actually seemed to prefer to eat it instead of food. Do you think that is very healthy for it? |
Coprophagia is something that can be treated with something as simple as vigilance and pineapple added to the diet.
Since you consider Yorkies to be "rat dogs", I wonder why on earth you would have bothered to buy one in the first place. It absolutely sounds like returning her to the breeders was the BEST thing for this dog.
BTW, if you say that Yorkies can't be trained to go outside, then you obviously don't know how to housebreak a dog. What is true is that you can't shove them outside for hours on end like so many people do to bigger dogs.
