Yorkies outside. What is the longest you have ever left your yorkie outside by themselves? |

Mollie comes in & out. She doesn't stay out over 10 or 15 min. We have a very secure fenced in yard. I always get up too check on her every few minutes or either I'm out there playing with her. |
Outside of running inside to get the phone once while Sully played in the back yard with our neighbor's dog, leaving my neighbor to supervise....I've never left Sully outside by himself, no way. Even if my yard was fenced I would be nervous about doing that! I would never forgive myself if something were to happen. |
Rowdy and my older Schnauzer have a doggie door and they can come and go as they please when we are here. If we are only going to be gone from the house for an hour or two, we leave them where they can go in and out while we are gone. BUT, the fence is secure, they cannot dig out nor can any other dog dig in. The gate is locked and although I suppose it is possible that someone could scale the fence to get in and take him - it is pretty unlikely. We live in a very urban area and so there is no danger of hawks getting him - so......although I do worry about him some, he loves the freedom of going in and out at will so that is the way we live. If we are going to be gone all day though, we keep them in the house. |
No time. We have hawks and eagles and foxes in our area. Now, I do not live in the country so my situation is not so unusual. One of my babies that I sold 3 years ago was picked up be a hawk not 10 feet from her back door in a suburban development..Mine are allowed on the back deck but even then, we supervise. |

We have lived in this neighborhood for 11 years & I also have a chocolate lab that alerts me to anything out of the ordinary and we also have a lock on the inside of our fence. There is only a little of our back yard that is not wooded. So it is pretty difficult to see in our back yard this time of the year. And I'm also home most of the time and the only time she is out is when I'm home. |

That's horrible. I doubt I would ever let mine out if something like that happened. |
Mine only goes outside to potty or when we take walks. He's never been outside alone before and never will! |

I can relate to the hawk story.... I attend all my yorkies on there adventures outside unless they are in their exercise pen my husband and I built that has a cover. This happened a year ago when I only had two yorkies I was outside with them and my small rooster "that thought he was a dog." The dogs were about 15 feet in front of me and the rooster was less than 7 feet when out of no where my rooster had a hawk attach. I WAS RIGHT THERE !!! :eek: At first I thought one of the yorkies was playing with him it happened so fast... I was approaching the two of them and almost touched the hawk before he released the rooster. Well, needless to say the hawk returned to visit my rooster weeks later, :( and it wasn't a good out come. But even when everyone is in the exercise pen it isn't without supervision. :p |
i have never left them out side by them selves. |
Only when i put them on a tie for a minute , so I can run in and get my coffee and sit with them and my two lb babies never go outside alone , sugar and Princess are 6 lbs and we live in the woods, but you have to watch out for owls, hawks and coyotes. A lady I know lost her little dashound to a coyote. They will swoop your babies up in a heartbeat. My Father-in-law lost a beagle puppy tp an owl. |
when i had a few yorkies i would only leave them alone for 10 min with me looking out the kitchen widow and an afghan guarding them, a fenced yard of course,they r such feisty cherubs. |
:aimeeyork :) |
Yoda will lay out on our back patio for about 15 minutes, as he likes to get his sun. But it is gated off so he can't escape from the patio... ;) |
Since I have a backyard pool...I live with the thought that once an accident happens it can never be reversed there for I never ever leave Teddy outdoors alone. |
Gucci has never being outside alone. Then again, I live in an Apt in NYC, we dont have a backyard. She only goes out when I take her for walks and sometimes potty(she is mostly pee pad trained). |

Jade and Mitsou goes outside everyday on the patio . |
Hi Diane...to answer you question. Yes, we actually have a yard that is enclosed with a 6 foot high concrete fence all the way around it and then on top of that we also have a saftey pool fence made out of metal that is about 4 feet tall around the pool itself. The only problem is that since these babies are so small the fence grates aren't narrow enough to disallow passage to them. |

Our front and back yard is completely fenced in and we dont have any prey birds so I let my dogs stay out about 15 minutes outside. |
My crew get to spend the whole day outside on the newly completed doggiedeckdock (if it's nice). They have two play areas connected by a 100ft decked run, complete with hammocks, obstacles, toys and rope lighting for evening romps. They are having a blast ripping up and down the run, and lazing in the hammocks. So much for getting those basement shelves done this year. |
About 2 hours. Accidently! |

Stacy I will love to see pics of the doggiedeckdock. I bet the doggies love it. ;) |
outside I let mine out into a very securly fenced back patio and it's mostly covered as I too am afraid of hawks as we live on a farm. My baby sitter with the yorkies is a 8 lb poodle that is Mother to all of them even though he is a nuetered male. He defies any and all to approach his "Family". Even friends and my daughter that lives on this farm can not get thru the gate without all heck breaking loose. Even though I let them out I keep one eye on them all the time and they don't stay long, maybe a half hour at most. My desk with PC is set at a window overlooking their area so even now I can see them. They do love to roll in the grass though. Gotta go, Spencer and group are at door wanting in. Helen and Sophie,Fancy,Sara,Jake and last but not least Spencer |
Sophie Hey did you notice I finally got my pictures figured and sized so there is a picture of Sophie ( 5 months). I will try to get a pic of all of them togather. Helen & Kids |
I didn't think I would ever leave Thor outside unsupervised. As he has gotten older, and bigger, I'm not so nervous about it. Probably the longest he's been in the back yard (which is fenced) is 30-45, supervised by his big sister Izzy (a lab). I check on him, he's usually sitting on the hill keeping an eye on the birds, dogs, people in the park in front of our house. He has stayed on the screened in porch longer. He just loves to be outside. When I move to Cali I won't let him out of my sight outside. I have lived here for 21 years and it is a very tight community, I feel he is safe, but I wouldn't trust it in another area. |
