| Hey the first time I went to the vet I asked him if my dog was really a female... he kind of looked at me with a corner smile and confirmed it was a female. My boyfriend could not believe what I've asked my vet. He said "if it was a boy you would see a penis and there is non" I felt so dumb! And when Bikini got sick, I sent my boyfriend to the Vet with an 81/2 by 11 sheet of paper with tons of questions (I always find that man don't ask enough questions). The vet thought this was really funny... The must think I'm a freak... I can be Hyponchondriac with my dog. Guess its my first dog in my life and so many questions go through my mind! I alwasy wondre "is this normal"

| I know this is supposed to be about yorkies, but just to confirm that it's not just the little dogs, our 35 pound basset hound shakes at all kinds of stuff too. Only she never seems to do it when she's happy, she just seems overly sensitive to some things. The yorkie mix I had as a kid didn't shake ever unless it was cold. |

| Tara 7.5yrs, 4lbs, only shakes when it's bath-time even though she loves the hairdryer....I've had her since 6 weeks and she has the best behaviour and disposition as she was taught well. Casper 5yrs, 4lbs, shakes for food, the vaccume cleaner, at other dogs he sees, at bathtime, and with some strangers....he is a big wooss ! I got him at 19 months. Tammy 4 yrs, 4lbs, shakes and skunks off when she needs out for pee pee and goes all flat and cheesey on the floor...and she also shakes when we are going to go in the car(nervous) and at bath-time. I have only had her a year (from age 3)and she was mis-treated and had to be taught toilet training and just about everything else, so she is good considering ! They just need their Mummy to hold them, wee babies ! s I also have a Bearded Collie - my hubby's dog - and she shakes at her shadow ! (fire-works, lorries, dustbins, washing machine, vaccume, pan-cupboard, etc).....but loves baths ! Strange beast ! ....she is too highly bred a show-dog....never again ! We had one before for 12 years and she was an angel, but Tasha now 6 has been very nervous from the day we got her.....we think she wasn't socialised properly before 12 weeks, the optimum time, though the breeders made out they were very knowledgable. We got first pick and chose her at 3 weeks and she was the pick of the litter, (they wanted to keep her for showing) but we didn't get her until she was 13 weeks and we don't think they took her out and about at all. We have got her a bit improved, but she will always be a nervous dog. That is totally different shaking to the Yorkie shaking which is more - "Mummy....be good to me !" Debra x x x x |

| Haha, yes ours does the same thing. If we work at it and get her really really worked up we can get a little howl out of her sometimes. I know it's hard to tell what their personality will be like, but part of the reason I want a yorkie is because I remember mine being very couragious and hard to rattle. Love the basset, but she's a big wuss, I want a buddy to go adventuring with me hehe. |
