hi guys,

appreciate all useful tips!

Ok, Mocca(our under weight yorkie) is pretty picky about food.

We have settled for Oven-baked traditional(salmon) for him and his older brother(westie)

It seems that he is shadowing what our westie does. if our westie sleeps, Mocca sleeps. If Nachos feeds, mocca feeds. Hell, Mocca even stick to our westie when out for walks. He loves to stick real close to our westie.

So in order to make Mocca eats, all we need to do is show him nachos(our westie) eating too... and mocca only eats hand feeds....

I will hand feed him till he is overweight than we will stop doing so. Need to buff him up a bit before we go "hard core" with his food training :P

Yup, we are in Singapore. Visit to the vet has revealed nothing with Mocca so its a good sign. Only problem is under weight. He is 7 mths old but weighs only 1.8kg.

just to clarify, the shop we bought Mocca is the same shop we bought our Westie Nachos. They are a breeder themselves. We have surveyed a few breeders before we settled for this place. his pups are usually of good quality and health and his place never smells of dog poo/pees... thats what attracted us.
