Did you see this from another thread??
'Okay so a year ago I took ownership of a Yorkie. This was against the wishes of my hubby, and now it's causing major problems. I live in Jax, FL and would like to have a true yorkie lover with experience adopt him. Maybe I wasn't as prepared to own a Yorkie as I thought.
I'll be honest with his god/bad habits as I don't want anyone to think they got something they didn't ask for! So here goes:
Male, 6yrs old, full blooded from champion bloodlines (per previous owner?), have papers on him but at this second dont' know where in the house they are, he was fixed at 1yr old.
*Good with my 5 & 6yr old daughters and other small children who have come to play here.
*Great kibble eater, but won't eat fresh fruits and veggies, tried many times.
*Loves Treats
*Loves to sleep in the girls room, but will roam the house as he can escape from the bed while they are asleep.
*He's a licker, for no reason to me he will sit and lick the couch cushion while he's laying there sometime
*We have a doggie door, he can come and go as he pleases because i'm constantly running errands or volunteering at the kids school, etc.. but he's been having mistakes on the kids room on the carpet, and infront of the doggie door on the hardwood floor, and in the TV room on the hardwood floor.
*He's a barker. This is the MAJOR problem in our house, hubby works different shifts as he drives for UPS and he can never get the house quiet for scrappy barking. He doesn't just sit and bark, but first thing he hears something like a bird or sees a squirel in the backyard out the dog door he goes barking ninety to nothing. The garage door goes up, and he's barking again. Hubby wakes up to go to work and isn't a happy camper, plus major tired. Not good when driving a semi.
*Loves to play ball or tug of war, however when he brings that tiny ball back and drops it at your feet, he backs away but the second he sees you going for it, watch out cause sometimes those tiny little teeth accidently get your fingers.
*Hates to see the kids chasing each other in the house, he will bark at them while they do this.
*Acts like he is attacking the Vacuum? Not sure why, but when ever the vacuum closet is open he will sit and guard it, then if you pull out the vacuum he's chasing and barking, and will grab ahold of the front end and bite at it. I spoke to his 1st owner and they said from a puppy he did this, they nor myself could figure out how to stop it though.
*Loves to ride in the car/truck, if you ask him "want to go" or "get in the truck" he's there before you! Waiting for the split second the door gets opened just a crack!
PLEASE....he needs a good loving home, with an at home mommy who can better understand him. I'm not patient enough most days, and it's not fair to my husband nor my little "Scrappy".... Please PM me for more information.' |
