I would have been leery buying from someone that keeps their yorkies outside in kennels. I wish that you would have spent a little more and bought from a caring breeder. All of my yorkies live underfoot and sleep in someone's bed everynight (if not mine). Yorkies need human attention and affection. I know of two breeders in town that keep their dogs in kennels. You can go over there and these dogs cower. They are scared of people and it's very sad. Please reconsider keeping these dogs outside. It's sad that they've only been kept for breeding purposes. Isn't it time that someone gave them the love that they deserve? |
Current Temperature In case anyone was wondering...it's currently 1:30 here...the warmest part of the day. Current temp where I am: 55 degrees Current temp in Alex City where these dogs are: 59 degrees Temp when I left the house this AM: 31 degrees Forcast for tonight: 34 degrees |
Yup thats warm alright.. Maybe to an eskimo! |
I'm sick to my stomach over some people! UGH! that's why all the legislation popping up because of irresponsble breedings and puppy mills and unsanitary conditions those poor dogs are kept in....I can't even fathom a yorkie having to live outdoors in a pen even if it were temp UGH and GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR |
All my babies are in my house. I live only 60 miles away from Amish country here in Ohio And some of the have very nice heated barns , kennels, and fancy runs. But how can they get the love they need in a building? They can't...it makes me sad :( Then theres a lot of puppy mills setups down there too. And they're not just Amish. You can really tell the difference of puppies who get little human interaction. I don't like when dogs are crated neither...to tell you the truth But thats just me. My own mom does it after her puppy ate 2 of her rings and had to have surgery.... But outside????? nooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyy |
Ohhhh Nicki35010 I hope you have your boots on honey cause the chit gonna get high! Hang on girl, your in for the ride of your life! I guess you have not done to much research and browsed around on YT much? If you have, you would already know the answer to your question. I would NEVER in a million years ever leave any of my 4 yorkies outside in a kennel! My yorkies are a part of my family, there just like one of my children, I would never leave a baby outside nor would I leave my yorkies! |
Dont you worry about hawks or other preditors getting your yorkies? |

A year or so back, a hawk flew into our screened in poarch, thru the screen part and came after Cody with my father right there! And I have heard of breeders that kept their dogs outside to find that coyotes had killed them. I've seen with my own two eyes coyotes corner small cows, a Yorkie is nothing but a morsel to them.:( |
Hold the popcorn and give me another drink! I wonder how old these "breeders" are and how many litters they've had already. You see that at dog auctions all the time, old puppy mill dogs being sold to produce more puppies instead of being retired. What a horrible life. :mad: |

I was really hoping this was just another post by a troll...unfortunately as someone pointed out...she has been doing research for 3 whole months. :mad: |

Poor babies can't defend themselves from the above. Please reconcider and bring them indoors where they will be safe. Why people take on this type of thing and then treat the dogs like cattle is beyond my way of thinking. I will say no more.:mad: |

Thank you so much ladies for your informatio...I would like to apologize for hurting you so bad....I have gone out got my sweet babies and brought them in!!! They are warm and having a blast! I thought I was doing the right thing by not having them in my house with my two children and I thought they would be fine...I was wrong...I didn't think it through. Well, I am about to start bathing and groom them up a little bit. Thank you all...I hope you except my apology and you will accept me into this forum if I ever need help. |

To the OP--you came here asking if anyone else keeps their dogs outside. As you can see, the overwhelming response is "no". This is not healthy, safe, or emotionally fit for yorkies. I do hope that you'll look closely at the responses and advise given here and reconsider. Please don't endanger the lives of these little babies just for some "extra cash". It is not worth the risk. If you aren't able to keep them inside and give them the love and attention they deserve, perhaps you could look into rehoming them and then do some more research before attempting to start a breeding program? The people here at YT would be more than willing to teach you about the correct way to breed, the yorkie standard, what is right and wrong, genetic diseases and testing, etc. They can give you tips and advise and THEN you can decide if this is really for you. Breeding is a huge decision and one that should not be rushed. Please keep the best interest of these dogs in mind! You got an answer, you've been given the correct information, now you just have to choose to do the right thing... |

However, I want to urge you to please continue to read and research before deciding to breed. |
Personally I could never keep a dog outside whether a small dog or a big dog. I mean really what is the point in keeping a dog outside? You don't get the same interaction, companionship and love from them, you aren't out there all the time to enjoy them. What if one of them got sick but only showed occasional symptoms? You wouldn't know it because you aren't living outside with them. All of my furbabies are strictly kept inside with me where they eat, play, and sleep with me. I couldn't have it any other way and I certainly could never keep them outside. I won't even let them go outside to play unless I am there with them outside watching them the whole time. |
Most of us all think of our yorkies as part of our families. Would you leave your kids outside? We know where the bad names come from "Puppy Mills". But buying them not to save them but to do the same thing is really sad. Most of us would never buy yorkies from someone that breed in this manner. Those yorkies deserve love and attention as well as the babies. I never buy a yorkie that I haven't been right where they live all the time. We have too many people that will tell you anything you want to hear. And if you want to know something read around the forums and learn how most people feel before talking if you don't want to hear the truth. Sometimes the truth isn't want you want and then you feel like everyone is being rude to you. Sorry but most of these people are going to answer you straight up if you ask. No bending for special people. |
