this whole thing sucks bad ! sorry for venting.

Post a picture, that usually wins everyone's heart. I know this is a difficult time for you.

The dog from NY there were alot of members interested in adopting him. She had to pick between several members. Also I am sure if someone adopted him from here they would assume his medical costs

I've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on trainers...nothing will work.

You know, this happened to my parents' yorkie. She was fine with all people one day, and the next day she was aggressive. It happened when my parents were having construction workers in and out of their house bc they were remodeling. My parents now think that one of the workers kicked their yorkie and that is what has made her aggressive. So sad. I hope nothing like this has happened to your little one.

You know, his aggressive behavior really came out of nowhere...its strange. I have been his only owner, and like i said, nothing happened to him during his life that should have caused this.

i will probably post something in the coming days and see what everyones interest is.

Thanks to all my fellow dog (yorkie) lovers !

So Sad.I was worried about my Little male with my first grandbaby. As I baby sit her everyday and he just didnt seem to like any kids. I guess because there was never any around until now. well he slowly came around and what I did Is I let him smell her blanket even lay on one. and then one day he walked up to her and I took her hand in mine and used my finger to touch him. letting him think it was her. Because I really didnt know what he would do. so slowly I did this every time he came close to her. It's been a little over 4 months and now he comes and sets in front of her to be petted. and now she reaches her own hand out to him touching him. I have to be right there because shes to young to know not to pull his hair and so far she has never pulled it. If she ever does Ill be right there to grab her hand. But this is working very well for us. I wish you luck and I hope that you find a way to keep your little Yorkie.

Try Barb Ross...SOSDOGS Rescue in Cherry Hill NJ....she is a recognized Yorkie rehoming rescue and no dogs are put down...she keeps them until a proper home can be found...I used to ask her help in placing rescues that were given to me if I had trouble finding a home.

I feel your pain but it's very difficult to have any dog with aggressive behavoir. I have a new 9 month old Yorkie for 2 months from a so called reputable breeder. The Yorkie attacked my smaller(calm, sweet) year old dog, both are neutered and tore his throat open. I was bitten removing the Yorkie from the other dogs throat. I have been working with a vet/behavoirist and now a dog trainer. I've spent over $6,000., so far including what I paid for the puppy ($3,000. ripped off), and we've only just begun. This puppy was misrepresented to me by his breeder (she lied big time). I will never trust him again nor will I rehome him knowing he is aggressive. I'm trying to do my best but two vets reccommended euthanizing him. I can't even think about that now. I have room in my house for him to live separated from my two other dogs but I'm heartbroken since he was bought after I lost my Yorkie, love of my life, in July. It isn't easy to rehome an 8 yr. old dog with aggressive issues. I don't think before this happened to me that I could even relate to anyone having to deal with this. I take pet ownership seriously, as I sense from your posts that you do as well. I have had dogs all my life and never had this experience previously.
I wish you all the best and know how hard this must be for you.
