I own two related Yorkies. One is the dad and the other is his daughter. The daughter came to live with us when she was just 10 weeks old, due to a failed adoption. I think instinctively she knew that there was a special connection between her and her dad so she quickly became attached to him and followed him everywhere. To this day (she's now 2 yrs old) she still follows and mimics him to include lifting her leg to pee. It's actually rather cute. She has never squatted. It's as though she never had a female role model but I do own an 11 year old female who squats. Just cute to watch because she lifts her leg slightly different than the males. Her leg looks like a chicken wing when she tucks it under! It's funny to watch. |
