Hi there.
I brought home our yorkie tri colour pup 3 weeks ago now.
Whilst I am not new to doggies these little things are completely different to my usual choice of large dogs. .. For example.. my yorkie Tillys playmate is a great dane
.
My dane is gentle and loving towards her but I have so many questions,
Firstly - she eats EVERYTHING! my dane did but he was big enough to pass things through and I worry 100 percent more with her being so tiny.. she brought a slug in to me last week!
Second - her coat.. how long will it grow at the moment she just looks shaggy all round her face but her body isnt nearly as fluffy take a pic and it always looks short haired.
Third- house training.. wow she is stubborn she is 10 weeks old and ALWAYS goes to the puppy pad to pee.. trouble is we have one in each room ... remove one and she does it on the floor... am I making good enough progress for her age or should I be looking to get her trained to go to the door by now?
Also occasionally I have noticed she coughs. Not always and not every day but she does cough occasionally.
Also she eats her own poop! She had a full bill of health from vet, has her second injection in week and half time she was wormed on panacur - vet asked my opinion on microchipping her and I sounded my concerns to her size and agreed to chip her at 6 months when she has her spay surgery.
The eating her own poop bothers me, she will poop,,, then turn round and try to gobble it up.. Not pleasant!!!
All hints and tips would be gratefully apprechiated. Also have any of you taken your yorkies to puppy classes? Tilly I have socialised round a few of my friends dogs but here im talking german shepherd, labradoor etc... I also wish her to have a social side to other mini dogs too!
