Hello everyone! I am super excited about this site! I am a fairly new owner of a yorkie named Opie. He is 6 months old (born June 16 2011) and weighs 12 POUNDS! I have done some research about oversized yorkies, but everything is different. I hope that by joining this forum that I can get actual answers! Opie is my first puppy and he is not fixed. My biggest problem thus far is that I CANNOT house break him. He goes potty outside for a few weeks, then he reverts back to going on the rug. Also, he refuses to poo outside! Ive tried pretty much everything, treats, pee pads, taking him out every half hr, etc., but its pretty much hopeless for this guy! The werid thing to me is that he knows how to sit, stay, shake and lay down, so WHY cant he potty outside!?... Should I get him fixed?.. Also, his ears wont stand up. Is that normal?.... His brother (my friend owns him) is doing everything Opie is not, plus some and he is a regular sized yorkie... Im just worried that my little guy might not be developing properly! Any suggestions!?
