| Rescue dog I have just acquired a 7mo old full blooded(?) yorkie that is 10lbs. She was with a person who neglected her. I got her from a lady who said she had the Mother ad the father. They were both under 7lbs. Can that happen? She is very sweet and has adapted fairly well. We will have had her for a week tomorrow. She doesn't eat alot. She is thin for her body size. I have a 10yr old Westie that I consider to have rescued also 10 yrs. ago, but she was a puppie. The yorkie seems to be more attached to other to the other animals at our place( cats, dogs). Will she become more attached to us in the future, or will she always be more interest in other animal New Yorkie owner |

I Love My Babies Donating Member | First of all.. Welcome to Yorkie Talk. How nice of you to rescue this little girl. As far as her size.. that happens. My TJ's mom was 4.3lbs and his daddy (Dexter) was 3.4lbs. And TJ is 7lbs at 10 months. Just like people, you get different sizes. I do not know the answer to your question about her being more attached to animals. From past experiences I have had with dogs, it may take a little time for her to learn to trust and love you.. but it will happen. Patience is a key to that, I think. Just love her and she will learn to love you in return. Have you had her to the vet yet? It may be a good idea to do that. He can tell you what you need to do with her eating. Have you tried different dog food? She may just not be used to what you are feeding her. There are a lot of people on here that have more knowledge of Yorkies than I do and I am sure they will be helping you shortly. Enjoy your new baby.

| Thanks for your comments. I think I just need encouragement at this time. She does eat, just not as much as my Westie. She was on Puppy chow. I have also bought Science Diet puppie food. My westie has sensitive skin, so I've always had her on this type of food. She has become more responsive since I got her, I"ve only dealt with puppies in the past. Thanks again |
