| Will do. I wouldn't want anything to happen to him so thanks for all the advice. Now, what about cribbing? Has anyone else had this problem? Vinegar doesn't seem to do the trick like it has with our Bull Mastiff (which by the way Harley and Max get along GREAT!). |

| I've never heard of it. I looked it up and all I found referred to horses chewing wood?

| Well see, I'm a small town country girl. I call it cribbing if any animal chews on wood. He chews on the legs of my couch and my coffee tables. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | He's a cutey. He does remind me of Jackson. Just go slowly when you are switching foods. Some Yorkies have very sensitive stomachs and will get diarrhea if you go to fast (others have cast iron ones and don't have a problem). Start with about 25% new food in the mix and if he does ok for a couple of days move up to 50% and so on until he's eating only the new stuff. If cribbing means the same as it does with horses, you can try getting something called Bitter Apple spray and putting it on what ever he is chewing on. It doesn't work in all dogs, though. Some actually enjoy the taste. I've also had good luck putting some clear deodorant on my wood work.

| I'll throw this out there and see what comments come along...What about trying bully sticks? I wonder if he still has some baby teeth and perhaps might have an infection? These are just thoughts. As I said, I've never dealt with anything other than puppy chewing and, yes, my puppy liked to chew on wood, sheetrock, you name it! Thank goodness it ended quickly!

| See I'm not sure how old Harley is either. I'd assume probably somehwere around 1 1/2 to 2 like the vet said but then again the vet could be wrong |

| Hi there and welcome to yt, this goes out to the others more knowldgeable owners, original yorkies were once upon a time a little larger weren't they? about 20 pounds if I'm not mistaken? Soooo then why would any one say that a larger yorkie be mixed? |

| I agree Gizmo. But i don't care if he's full blooded or not. Or even is he's got any Yorkie in him for that matter. Either way he is a loved member of our family now.. |

| He looks all yorkie to me!! My Samantha weighs 12 pds, her sister who my mom has is 22 pds. The very first yorkie we had was 27 years ago and he weighed 18 pds at his heaviest. 27 years ago when we first got Scruffy our 18 pounder alot of the yorkies back then were larger. Seems like he will be a good fit for your family. Best Wishes

Yorkie Talker | Hello, my yorkie is 12.4lbs boy and my girl is 11.2lbs. We just had a litter of puppies almost 5 weeks ago and I know that they were born with long tails. It is a preference as per the vet to have their tails docked and the claw out or not. Both, of my yorkies have short tail and I have seen many with long tails. I am new to this as my Kalix is the boy is the 12.4 lbs I raised since 8wks and he was only suppose to be no more than 5lbs. So I guess anything can happen. I just love him to death and he and my girl Lexi we rescued as well last Oct and is a ball of fun. This was my first dog ever in my life. I always wanted a little yorkie, but I would not trade either of my babies in, the bigger they are the more fun and rough housing you can do with them. I was not prepared to take on another dog either, but I know she had a rough 2 yrs in a cage filled with nasty and it's sad. She is the most loving dog and has had all the love and care she could ask for and they sure appreciate it and express their love. Good luck and what you did to take in this dog no matter what breed is great. |
