[QUOTE=Sami_girl;4189273]I am thinking about getting one. I have to wait a few months cause Pixi is still too little but I really want to stop using potty pads and have these girls go outside. I have a big gated yard. The fence needs to be repaired which is another reason I have to wait. I will make sure there is no ways out.
What is your opinion of doggy doors? In other words,
do you think it is safe to let little dogs like these outside unattended at times?[/QUOTE]
ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, UNQUESTIONABLY
NO!!!!
These dogs are a "hot ticket item"....people are willing to try to snatch them from their owners arms, in broad daylight, in crowds of people, in public places....why would anyone let such a hot ticket item be allowed to come and go, unsupervised and left unattended? Would you allow your toddler outside unattended and unsupervised? Small dogs of all breeds, but especially Yorkies, are high dollar quick turn around items....there have been many, many cases of these dogs getting stolen from back yards....
Then there are the predators that can take small dogs...owls, hawks, coyotes, bob cats, snakes....alll these are dangers to your baby....even if you live smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood....and it only takes a second for your baby to be carried off or bitten by a posionous snake. I hate doggie doors and I will not sell my babies to people that have doggie doors.
