Well Lilly (the yorkie) went crazy when she say Emrick (our schnauzer) she started barking uncontrollably!!!! So we decided to think about it. I have been keeping in touch with the women and she still hasnt found a home for her. I LOVE her she is soooo sweet and loves kids which I often have kids around and also have a 9 yr old but im worried about the dog issue. Do you think she will just get used to Emrick and other dogs? Or do you think its hopeless? We have decided to make a written aggrement were I take her home for a weekend and try to see what happens. Both dogs will be safe I have been reading up on how to introduce them safely, but I wanted your input since you all have yorkies. Another thing she is 6 months old not a tiny pup do I still have to worry about the hypoglacemia? I know they get low blood sugar when they are stressed but I didnt know if I should still worry at that age? And what is a good age to spay??? THANK YOU so much im sorry its so long!!! |
She is at a good age to spay now, maybe wait another month or so to see if she will need any retained puppy teeth removed. That way you don't have to have her put under twice. Just don't wait too long because you don't want her to go into heat. The barking issue may be nothing and improve or it could indicate a problem. Did she ever calm down? Why are they placing her at 6 months? Is she the lady that bred her or a person that bought her and isn't keeping her? Is she placing her because of problems with her behavior? You shouldn't have to worry about the hypoglycemia at her age unless she is super itty bitty. Good luck and keep us posted!
