Do any of you have any experiences with adopting a Yorkie rescue? With regards to breed, are Yorkies any better/same/worse than others in such a situation.
I know I'm asking questions that could have a wide variety of answers, just wondering if anyone has experience. Thanks! |
My Zippy was advertised at petfinder as a yorkie, a rescue from Idaho sold in Western Washington.... He looks like he's part yorkie, maybe! LOL We love him bunches! He did come with some baggage.... apprehensive attitude would probably be the best single word for his baggage, and, initially, he didn't play at all, so, not bad... Thanksgiving marks us at two years with him.... He's super happy, plays lots with two of our other dogs but still doesn't play much with his people... He's great to take on walks here and in the mountains while camping or hunting edible mushrooms. There was the one day during off leash training that he bolted and skedaddled for home without me. It was about a mile back to the house, he was waiting on the porch when I arrived. Other than that one time, he's been the perfect off-leash dog. I think he was house broke in a matter of days.
