So. . . he is adorable. He is Yorkie/Papillon from what they tell us. Not much of the story I've been told about him has turned out to be true. We think he is 8 or 9 months (not 6). The rescue woman said he's like 2 or 3 lbs - he's 7. This is actually great for us - we needed a good sturdy dog. He went to the vet today - and his knees are great (I was worried because both breeds can get luxating patella). I found a flea on him last night  and am completely freaked! We're frontlining him - but I am still freaking out.
He is much cuter than his pictures. His face totally looks yorkie (older yorkie) but his body and ears are all Papillon. I love his whispy bangs and I think his coat at least around his head and neck will get longer. We'll see.
He's only barked when he met our neighbor dog and this morning when he wanted out. My daughter can take away his bone - and he doesn't care - he hasn't growled or nipped at all. He's just a lovely dog.
He got neutered on Monday and I can't wash him until next Wednesday!!! Yikes! The place he came from was pretty crazy - I'll feel much better when I can wash him and make him pretty! |
