When God made Yorkies, that was the job He assigned to them...ratters. Squirrels look enough like rats, so they will do in a pinch...actually, ANYTHING that is low to the ground and scurries quickly, triggers that instinct, including birds. Mine have a very strong "work ethic" and chasing birds and squirrels around the back yard provides them exercise and amusement, and I dont know if that prey instinct can be driven from them! |
