Since Sept. I own a 7 yrs. old Yorkie, I got her for from a "breeder" in Mobile, Alabama. We live in Florida. She did not have a name, was not housebroken (I still cannot trust her when I travel with her), afraid to walk on grass, tapeworms, not vaccinated, no microchip, bad teeth and she was badly groomed. I guess they cut most of the matted hair out in the last moment. Now she lives the good life, sits on a sofa, sleeps in my bed, eats organic food and fruits, has beautiful dog beds and toys and she gets all my attention.
For 45 yrs I owned poodles (breeder, groomer, handler) Miniature and Standard poodles and was participating on Dog Shows but all my dogs were well taken care of!!!
Owning a Yorkie is challenge for me, I still have to improve my Yorkie grooming and figure out and learn the different grooming styles and what tools are best to use and I am interested in the Standard for Yorkshire Terriers. Any suggestions are welcome.
I also want to ask the members of this group for advice what kind of collar or harness is the best for a 7 pound Yorkie. Thank you for any recommendations.
