My first yorkie was a owner surrender to our rescue. Prada had a few issues. The first owners called her Pirranah. Since she had biting and aggression issues it was decided I would keep her because of liability problems. She'd been with me around 3 weeks when she was stolen from my 6 foot high wooden fenced yard. She was microchipped and had tags from the rescue and mine. There was no way she couldn't have been identified.
A friend at the rescue knew how upset I was about Prada. She had a friend through another rescue who was looking for a home for her own yorkie due to the health issues of one of her other dogs. When Izzy came to live with us she also brought her older brother Elvis for support. Izzy was very shy. I got them last sept/oct and she is finally bonded very securely to me. Elvis went back for a week but is still with me. Technically he isn't mine but don't tell him that.
Niko came at 6 days. Someone who had 2 yorkies thought it was a good idea to breed them. The male was 5-6 lbs and the female was 4 lbs. The owner was out of time when she went into labor and the person watching her waited too late. Niko was born first. The second puppy died before they could do a section, mom got septic and died a day and a half later. They did bottle feed but we'rent able to continue. The wanted our rescue to feed him and adopt him out. Right. With a lot of advice from experienced breeders he did wonderful. He just turned 5 months old yesterday and I adore him. He thinks everyone was put on earth to worship him. I consider him one of the greatest gifts I've ever been given. |
