I am a new yorkie mommy, by little princess name is DG which is short for DaddyzGurl, she was bor on 12/14/11. Being that I am a newbie I have a few questions about her.
1. DG's mommy is registered but her daddy is not, what affect does that have on her?
2. DG's breeders would not dock the puppies tails, so should I do it or should I leave it long?
3. At what age will her hair start to grow out and she will begin to look like a true yorkie?
4. DG's air does not stand up, will they or will I have to tape them?
I look forward to the group and I look forward to learning all that I can about my little girl.  |
Well for number 1). Mommy is registered with what kennel club? Unless you plan on showing her in AKC the fact that one dog is registered with AKC and one not is not a limitation on her health or well being. REgistries all good ones are about providing a clear pure bred lineage. And that is about it as far as their main function is. In the USA reputable registeries are the AKC and the UKC. Others are just what is known as paper registries. The aforementioned clubs, put on conformation shows, obedience, rally, agility trails, etc. and promote the well being and the interest of pure bred dogs to the public and to government institutions.
Foir number 2" At that early age of eight wks it is still way to late to dock a tail. Leave it long; they are beautiful with long tails.
Number 3" Coat will not get to start being long, until at least eight months old. It may take to after one year old to grow a coat to the floor. And even then you will need to provide excellent coat care to acheive this.
