Hi there!
I just wanted to say hello and tell you all that I'm happy to have found a forum dedicated to Yorkies. I have what it seems people are referring to as a "teapot" Yorkie...her name is Laney, and she is a healthy, fit, and trim 11 lb. little (BIG) girl.
I will probably find some appropriate boards to post questions- Laney's a really well-behaved dog except that she does NOT come when you call her when she is out of the house. Inside...no problem. Outside...if she is not on a leash, she is GONE. It makes us very nervous, because if she gets near the door she wants to escape when it opens, and we live on a pretty busy street. Any suggestions? Her other vice is "snatching". She snatches things she knows she shouldn't have and takes off, hiding under beds and running around the house like a crazy woman. If we could break these two bad habits (not coming when called outside and snatching things), I think we would have the perfect dog.
