Yorkies are hunters, they will go after squirrels, rodents, birds so be careful when you are on walks, he will go after them, please do not let him off leash, once they are chasing an animal that is where their mind is focused on, they will not come back when called. He's a little beauty.
Yes, he is all love and definitely ours is his forever home. Although ours is his third home, at least in his case he has received lots of love in all 3 households. The breeder is not a commercial one but rather a pup loving lady with 4 dogs including Ottos parents. They had a 3 boy litter, kept one (Teddy), gave one to my sister in law and Otto to a close friend. The problem was that after 7+ months I believe a human baby came into the picture and well, apparently Otto had a lot of misunderstandings with such baby, they tried to make them get along but looks like it was barking day and night, after a while they took the hard decision to give Otto away. When the breeder heard this she came back to rescue Otto. She loves all her dogs! She tried to keep him but now the problem was that Otto and his brother are both alpha types and they kept fighting all day long over their mom, Vela. Thats when they heard that my wife was looking to adopt (behind my back lol) and since her sister owns Thiago, Ottos brother and she is fantastic with her dogs, she said well, he will be in a nice home with lots of love. Her whole family cried for hours when we picked up Otto as they love him very much, they ask for pictures almos daily and send him gifts.
