it is sad...

I have a lasa and he was aggressive as a pup. I still watch when children are around. He was just a fur ball so cute but boy or boy he could turn!! We had to establish control and like I said I have to remind him from time to time. He is happier when I am around, he likes the rules and the routine!! I just feel for that little yorkie

I can't/wont watch the video, but I trust the interpretation everyone is giving here. Is there any way to report the video? Do you think YouTube would actually do anything about it?:mad:

my first yorkie (RIP) had canine epilepsy and he did EXACTLY that but for HOURS at a time and out of NO WHERE - he'd be fine and then BAM - he'd have us backed into the corner with his lip curled and then he'd lunge like that - he sounded just like this crazy velocyraptor-sounding dog lol....but not so lol because he had to be put down at only 1 year old :( ... but he didn't switch like this dog - this dog has multiple personality disorder it seems! Like JEKYLL then HYDE, no??? Like he's licking the guy in the first video put trying to KILL their CHILD at random - then turns to his right and is all kisses, then left and ATTACK! WTF? Rocky (RIP) would also do this if you went anywhere within 5 feet near his food - and then it'd set of the 'seizure' attack mode that would last anywhere from 20 minutes to an HOUR... he could be on your lap - loving life and all sweet and then he'd look at me and his eyes would grow BIG and his teeth would be out and what can I do with this killer dog ON ME??? At first when he was tiny we'd just sit very still and keep out hands tucked under us and our head BACK because from my lap he'd make these rapidly fast lunges for my NECK like this dog is doing and would make that very same sound...Rocky was bought from a puppy mill (they pretend to be a breeder at puppypetite.com - videos show puppies playing IN A HOUSE with children and it's all a lie - they even have a man answer the phone and he's not even at the location!!!) in brooklyn - which was a 3 hour drive for us when I was just diagnosed terminal and doctors were saying that I may not make it through that particular flare...so this was our version of a baby...and my husbands' way of coping... and note we told ALL of this to the alleged breeder on the phone...anyway - we get there and it's a puppy store and NO GUY works there - just two 20-something girls and we fell in love with the wrong dog obviously...later turns out he was barely 7 weeks old - and he was already 3 pounds! By the time he was 6 months old he was approaching TWENTY POUNDS and the attacks now - especially in the condition I was in - were so bad that he'd have these attacks daily at least once and i'd have to call for help while my husband would use the broom stick to 'tempt' the dog who would (i sh*t you not), when poked and on my lap ready to strike, would turn and BITE the wooden stick and his grip was SO TIGHT that my husband could literally use the broom stick with the dogs' jaw in a VICE GRIP around the wood and he could pick the dog off (dog hanging in the air growling through his teeth as he locked down on the end of the broom) and until the 'seizure' ended he'd spend the rest of it 'killing' the broom (unless anything/anyone else approached him - and then he'd get 'stuck' on them...) - we went through SIX brooms...

scary...

all lasas are. do you know why? the lasa originated in Tibet as 'royalty' - meaning they were bred to be loyal friend to only its' owner - his holiness, the Dali Lama - friend to one - foe to all else... ie - the lasa was trained exclusively to strike against anyone who attempted to approach him in his holy space.

My in-laws have had three and they all attacked strangers but the last one would attack my in-laws at random...it was insane...

What the hell is wrong with those people They are creating a really bad behaviour problem that will continue if they don't do something about it. She sits there and laughs ? Shakes my head

So, I didn't go back into Youtube to copy my comment to the owners of this dog, but I basically told them that it wasn't normal, their Yorkie was stressed out, and that I hoped their son didn't end up having to get stitches and their Yorkie get euthanized. Here's their Youtube message back to me that I just got in my email:

- I appreciate your concern, but you are showing ignorance talking about a dog that you have never even seen. I assure you that he is not stressed in the least. In fact, he has a pretty easy life. He goes with us nearly everywhere, and is one of the most loved dogs anywhere. He has a lot of personality, and is possessive. This is not his normal way of acting...that's why its funny. I assure you he will not be euthanized, and our son will not get stitches. Thank you. -

I personaly think it's funny that they say their dog is happy and has a great life, yet he's "possessive". I'm going to let it go, I said my piece to them. Just figured you all might find what they had to say interesting since this thread seems popular.;)

I wish they would, but nope. I've (accidentaly)seen WAY worse stuff than that on Youtube

Actually, I was watching it and hoping the yorkie would get a piece of one of them. It's all ok with me as long as he is leaving the puppy alone. Maybe he is trying to get the puppy and protect him from his idiot owners.

Oh, I know!! when I went on youtube to yell at them I couldn't BELIEVE all the Yorkie owners saying how cute it was!:thumbdown:thumbdown Their responce to what I told them was rediculous (it's copied and pasted above). Somebody should go back on there and tell them to come look at this thread LOL, on second thought, maybe we don't want them on YT, but they REALLY need to be educated for their dogs' sakes.

Ya.. your not wrong.. that is not cute.. I'd never let my dog get away with acting like that. They must have let it go on for a while for it to get to this point. :thumbdown

I posted on it to. They are teaching it to be that way by teasing it
