 Thanks for the add
I never would have chosen to own a Yorkie or any other small or toy breed dog, mainly because I don't understand companion dogs. My wife had been talking about getting a smaller dog for her for some years and I kind of said we will when the time was right. I simply kept putting it off.
About 2 months ago I was contacted on FB messenger by a former co- worker about a dog. If my timing would have been better I might have been able to avoid this. The dogs owner had died and the dog had been alone in the house for 2 weeks. This dog was so thin we took her home immediately and gave her a bath and feed her some chicken and rice.
I own 3 other dogs but they are all Cane Corsi that I use for hog hunting and guarding my property, but they are inside dogs. When I tried to introduce them I learned that this Yorkie had never been socialized and was trying to attack my dogs out of fear, and that was something else I would have to work on.
I learned that these dogs were originally working dogs so I'm thinking that I can apply working dog theories on this now 8.8lb dog.
I will mainly never comment on here, and will probably just read the comments. Any advice on this breed is appreciated because books and articles only tell you so much. |
