Excuse me mine are. Many on here are also trained to go outside. Yorkies are harder to train and have very small bladders hence many people use a pee pad-most people research such prior to adoption so they know they type of training to prepare for.

Furthermore, all dog breeds are known to eat poop it's not specific to any one breed, definitely not specific to Yorkies and it was not an attack on GSD either. It was said by me to inform people...sharing of information...the purpose of YT. Education, information, support, and fun.etc.

Poop eating is like potty training, it requires training...and is in no way a guarantee of defect-especially in a puppy. If the pup ate an unreal amount of poop it was in fact in danger in your care IMHO.

Many people love "rat dogs" they haves spent the time researching the Yorkie (and other terrier) breeds and are well aware of their original function as ratters. Why did you get a Yorkie in the first place if you have such negativity to say about them now...says more about you, your personality and what type of person you are with such a statement than anything else. I understand you are angry over the responses here, but people here were also...they were out of concern for the "rat dog"

Okay I'm done with this thread, off my so called pedastool- it's going down hill big time now...plus Elvis my Yorkie is scratching on the slider to go in the yard-no really he is...

Please consider the aspects required in training before getting any dog, puppy, of any breed, and weather or not you have the time, effort or ability to devote to it all. Let alone research prior...

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?
