Consequences

[lilsarahboo21]

My mom and I was talking about this one night because I want a house full of Yorkies LOL, But then I am moving out within the year so I will have 2 for now. But she was wondering how many animals we could have in our city. I told her I dont think it matters. I know my friends sister a block from me has 6 yorkies and I think (atleast she did) have some cats too. Right now we have 2 yorkies and 4 cats.

It is under the trees for shade so I won't have to use A/C also I sound proof it. I put in two fans that take all the amonica and smell out like that in your rest room and a fan that brings in fresh air. In their house I build a 3 level kennel that is 3.5 feet wide and 7 feet long. It has trays underneath to collect urine and poops so they don't step on it. They have their own bed. Originally since I only have 3 yorkies I wanted to put one on each level but they miss each other so I put all 3 in the middle level. I put their bed on that middle level. They stay there when i'm at work. When i'm home they are in the yard playing as I clean their quarter and put in new food and water. They play with my husky, cus I keep the husky out side as they need room to run around. When they play with the husky they don't bark. The only time my yorkie back is when they are in their house and hear me coming out of my house when I open the sliding door. I love yorkies cus hey don't bark... all my neighbor have dogs of their own. I fortified my wooden fence with wire mesh so my husky can't get out. All of the poop goes in the trash... the pooor trash man.....

with that said.. I hope I can keep it on the down low...hehehehheh

I don't want to sound like I am being a busy body here, but I live close to Houston and I can not imagine my yorkies surviving the god awful Texas heat outside all day every day. I know you said your dog pins or under a shade tree and you have fans, but even all of that is not enough for 98 degree temps and 100% humidity in the summer. I just feel that Yorkies need to live inside where they can soak up the AC in the summer and snuggle in a warm blanket by the fireplace in the winter.
Are your Yorkies family pets or are you a breeder?

Waistful..what a small world.
I lived in Pinefield subdivison for 35 yrs. Dog regs changed numerous times over the years. They were never nOT infavor of caring breeders until a few years ago.
I had a small kennel area built on to my home for my show pups and adults..I knew several animal control officers over the years and when they were in the area they stopped to visit.
I was always on such good terms..they saw how well my Yorkies lived.
My problem started with Ivan Cunningham, the vet. A vet tech in his office reported me for not having a commerical licence. This vet tech had a family member who had a grooming shop. I groomed for 20 yrs from my home..she resented it..she also resented the fact I refused to sell pups to her family for breeding. She got the vet involved since he sat on the Anmimal control board.
That really hurt me since Ivan told me so many times what a reputable breeder I was and referred clients to me..

Go to the snimal shelter and get a copy of the regs..never tell anyone what you have in your home. Feel free to email me if you have any questions...Primyork@aol.com
