The breeder has LOTS of dogs and breeds Yorkies, Poms, and Chinese Crests so I am not sure if her previous life was pretty much in a crate all the time or what. She is such a sweetie but is very timid, very attached to me and really does not even act like a puppy at all. She barely knows how to play and would just rather sit on my lap and sleep all day. This is so strange to me since I have a super hyper boy who just wants to play all day. Does this sound strange to you too?
Please do not get me wrong - I LOVE HER to death but she just worries me because she is just so sluggish and seems to be in poorer quality than my little boy! Thanks!!! |
She sounds like a sweetheart! The reason I was curious about her previous situation .... my friend works with United Yorkie Rescue and there was a little rescue that came from an extremely stressful situation, so much so that her hair had fallen out. It has been a year or more and she recently began to have little patches on her skin like the ones you described. She is just now beginning to grow her coat!!
We are all so excited to watch this! The little bit of hair that she had was the thinnest hair I have ever seen on a dog. The little patches kinda sluff off and she is growing patches of new hair all over. From what we know about her situation, she was not deprived of good, wholesome food ... her's was simply an unhappy home which ultimately ended in an ugly divorce and noone cared enough about her to keep her. She is now in a wonderful, happy home and is living every Yorkie's dream!!
It will probably take quite a while for your little one to feel comfortable .... sounds like she is happy on your lap for now!
Our vet says there is no better medicine for a Yorkie than Mama's lap!
Please keep us updated on your little one's progress!
