Help Advice needed PLEASE! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

YorkiesX2 · 02-16-2008, 08:00 PM

Wow! I haven't been on for a while! PLEASE anyone give me some advice! We had 2 Yorkies Lady and Sprocket for a couple of years and loved them both however they did not love each other and my female would hurt him so bad that he would bleed. We originally got him to breed her but when she went through 3 heats and wanted nothing to do with him we sold him saying that if they don't want him anymore we would rather have him back than go to the pound. The lady that bought him wanted him for breeding as well and we said that since he is not fixed he does pee on my sons chair as a domance thing and he is a very energetic dog. He picked up on tricks and fetch and was a very lovable dog. Now a year later (after she has got a litter) she wants to put him down! She said the pound won't take him cause he bites everyone who enters the house (never did that the first 2 years of his life) and pees on everything and she said he is the worst animal she has ever seen in her life! She would never give this dog to anyone and put them through the hell her family has gone through having him... I feel so terrible for selling him to her now that he has probably gone through hell himself...

We have now moved well on with our lives into a different house and are adopting 2 kids from Russia. They have lived in an orphanage their whole lives and have never seen a dog so our female will be in for a ride... but another dog and one that now bites would not be allowed on our homestudy that is already on Russian soil. Since our female would not allow him on her territory again without hurting him and our kids are going to be a big ajustment from institutional life to a family and a month in country stay in Russia to come this summer (we have a house sitter lined up) trying to re-train a 3.5 year old dog that pees and bites just is a bit too much to put on my plate right now. I loved him so much and can't imagine what he has been through but my kids come first and need all my attention! Is there anyway to train him to not do this (get him fixed, obedience training, etc.) and have my female be ok with him in the same house? There is so many if's and I really don't know anyone who wants a dog or can have one... I will have to ask around... Any advice would be very appreciated! Tonya

There are rescues that take Yorkies. I'll see if I can't find some of sites and post them. I am so sorry that you are facing such a difficult decision.

I hope that these rescues will give you some options. You could also seek out some no-kill shelters in your area. The only problem is that many are over full already. I would also suggest that you go to the rescue forum on YT and post this plea. Someone may have a better idea than I do. There will be a solution if you just search your options out.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do and congrats on your adoption.

For My Coby · 02-16-2008, 11:08 PM

I agree that a Yorkie Rescue would be a great idea. This situation is exactly what they exist for. We had expereience with http://www.unitedyorkierescue.org/?page_id=1 years ago.

And I also congratulate you on the full and blessed life that you have. Good luck with everything!!

YorkiesX2 · 02-17-2008, 04:09 PM

Thanks for the help I have e-mailed the websites for the rescues to see if they know of any rescues in my area in Canada... Thank you for replying so fast I haven't gotten any sleep and has been on my mind all day. I feel like it is all my fault. What if we had got him fixed would my female like him, would that have stopped the peeing... then he wouldn't have been sold as a stud into what I thought was a good home but turns out not... I have been keeping in touch with them to see how he is doing for the last year and she hasn't said anything. He NEVER bit anyone while he lived with us! I'm just so upset about the whole thing! Tonya

Yorkieluv · 02-17-2008, 04:14 PM

I definitely recommend that this baby go to a rescue...They can help him there and rehabilitate him. There's no need for her to put him down.

Congratulations on your upcoming adoption!!

Poor dog

First of all, NO aggressive dog should ever be bred...he should have been neutered. He's probably aggressive because he was repeatedly attacked by another dog, rehomed, used for breeding, and disliked by his current owner...as well as being an intact male. Dogs aren't born bad...people make them that way. He needs to be neutered and given to someone who will love him and work with him.

Good Work!

YorkiesX2 · 02-17-2008, 07:21 PM

When we owned him he was the farthest thing from aggressive! We played fetch for hours and was very loved! Our female dog growled at him 3 times and bit him once on the ear and he yelped. Dogs do that to show who is boss. I thought it would get better with time but they seemed to distance themselves from each other more and more. He was NOT repeatedly attacked. He was perfect for breeding and other members of the home he went to still love him but the "Mom" of the house is the one having the problems and I don't understand the bitting! I got a site for Canada rescue and am looking into everything I can for him. Please don't judge me "MyfairLacy" I wouldn't have asked for help if I didn't care.

Thank you for the well wishes with the adoption. We have been trying for kids for over 5 years with 8 angels in heaven, a failed private domestic adoption, our children will be a dream come true. Tonya

edumma · 02-17-2008, 08:49 PM

I'm glad you found the canadian yorkie rescue site I was just going to suggest it. They have foster people all across canada and there should be someone available in your province.I hope you can get your little guy back before anything bad happens to him.Goodluck and keep us posted on how things go!

I spoke to the owner again and she is willing to finally get him fixed and then try obedience training again once the hormone levels have decreased. He is over 3 years old so I hope he does well with it. He loves treats and energetic as can be. He picked up on every trick in the book when he was 6mth old I taught him a new trick almost everyday! I'm so glad she is giving it another shot. She is willing to give it another year and see if it is a hormone thing and not a disorder. I said I would take him back at that time if my kids are well adjusted by then. Sprocket is the only thing that has been on my mind all weekend and wondering if we did the right thing..what if's... etc. Thank you for all your well wishes and information so quickly!

For My Coby · 02-18-2008, 07:34 PM

Will you be able to keep a fairly close eye on the situation? She had such a sudden change of heart that I'd just be so worried. I know that your life is so full already............

Glad to hear she's at least open to giving it a try.

YorkiesX2 · 02-19-2008, 05:11 PM

She said she is going to talk to a few vets to see what they think and if it will help and get back to me later this week or early next week... She lives 2 hours away and we keep in contact through e-mail and she has my phone # too.. So we will have to see...but I think her first e-mail was under much stress and she has calmed down quite a bit before the second e-mail. Tonya
