Pippa, even at this very young age, knows how dangerous it can be, having access to the back yard, thru a doggie door, unsupervised! Predators abound in your back yard and circling in the sky above....Pippa knows she could be stolen from the back yard by a human that is aware she is out there, easy pickings.....Yorkies are very frequently stolen from back yards! There are snakes that can get into the back yard, and there are coyotes, raccoons, possums, that can dig UNDER the fence, creating a tunnel that any of the small dogs can scoot out of the back yard. There are hawks and owls and eagles and other predator birds that are constantly hunting....Yorkies look like small rabbits from the sky, and these predators respond appropriately. There are alot of breeders that will not even sell a puppy to a family that has a doggie door, simply because allowing your Yorkie to venture out into the yard, unsupervised, would be like allowing your 1 year old toddler unsupervised access to the yard.....you are asking for trouble doing it, and should not be surprised or dismayed if/when tragedy strikes. |
