Donating YT 3000 Club Member | ? about tinys & larger yorkies as i was hitting (playing) Brownie in the butt with the couch pillow i realized what if he would have stayed at 5 pounds like i wanted "originally" i dont think i could be as ruff as i am with my 18 pound yorkie of course i couldnt... Brownie LOVES ruff playing this may sound silly i know some people play different But are Tiny yorkies Fun to own i always wanted one but im so used to playing hard with my big boys how do you play with a tiny ? or are they just cuddlers ? |

| Oh Lenora! You are so silly! Ha! Mojo is 5lbs or little over and he loves rough play.......he isn't tiny, but I guess he is compared to 18lbs. He loves to cuddle and kiss and play outside w/ the big dogs and everything that our big dogs like to do (if I let him), he will do.

| Hey Lenore. Wow 18 lbs. you have a big one too. Ha ha. Noel is 16 pounds, but although she has papers I really think she has poodle or westie in her. She just looks it. Anyway, I have three bigger Yorkies (10 lbs. 12 lbs. and 16 lbs.) and I have one tiny Morkie (Yorkie and Maltese) Tia is only 3 1/2 pounds. I was a wreck when I got her. Terrified that the big Yorks would trample her or she would break or something, but she's tougher then she looks. No you can't rough house with the tinys, well you can but in a soft way. There is a lot more care to having a little one, such as pottying. We have Tia wee wee pad trained because it's too cold for her outside. The other three go out whether it's cold or drizzzle. They go out to pee. I love all my dogs but I will say that my tiny is special in her own way. I get to take her with me and no one knows when we go into the store. Ha ha. Imagine taking in my big fat butt 16 lb. der. LOL. Elaine |

| Jewels is 6 lbs and she doesnt like to play rough. She is too much of a diva for that. She will retrieve balls and sometimes play tug of war but she is more of a cuddler. Sometimes I cant get anything done because she whines so much for me to pick her up. Chachi my 10 lber loves rough play. His personality is like that of a much bigger dog.

| I was giving you a hard time - you knew I would! hee,hee I know Mojo has been played w/ pretty rough by some of our guy friends and his daddy of course. He has had a few "falls" and has bounced back up w/o skipping a beat (checked out both times and all was good). I think we are more caution of Mojo then we would be if he were bigger, but not too extremely cautious! Mojo is pee pad trained and goes outside too - goes outside more than not. We didn't have too big of a problem w/ him. He loves to go potty outside. Are you seriously thinking about getting another? I smaller one?

| Tia is only 2 1/2 pounds but she plays rough with Bailey, who is 5 pounds and will put up a pretty good fight in a game of tug-of-war with me. I think I'm a bit more cautious with Tia than with Bailey, but not much more.

| Hi, my girls are fullgrown at 2 and 5 lbs. Trixie (5 lbs.) plays alot more then Pia. She's also quite rough and beats up my poor Pekingese who's 15 lbs. Pia never plays with Snoot (15 lb peke) but she does with her sister Trixie. Pia would shock many people. She's quite fiesty for 2 lbs. and even though she doesn't play as much as Trixie, she is my dominant dog out of the three. She'll jump on Trixie's back and growl. I have a blast with all three. I play rough with my peke (snoot) and Trixie loves to play fetch and Pia likes to attack my hand. Honestly, I think they're just as much fun as the bigger doggies. In the past I had a German Shepard and I think no matter what size the dog is, you can always have fun with them

| Kasey (2 lbs, 2 oz) thinks he's a big dog and plays with Cody and Abby and Trixie up to a point and then he kind of hangs back. They tend to kind of run over him. We can't play with him that rough. We all wish he was a bit bigger. |

| Rough play Little Bit has finally made it to 4# (does that mean she's not a tiny anymore?) and she will play as rough as you will let her. Actually that is the only drawback, I see to her being so small. She thinks she is a BIG dog and will attack anything and never gives up in a game of tug or fetch. When she was smaller, I always put a limit on her play time because she would never just get tired and stop. We never had a hypoglycemic problem but I had heard so much about it, I was scared to tire her out. Even at 8 months, you still have to put her in the x pen or crate to rest. She won't stop playing until you just flat ignore her. She will be going in to get spayed next week ( and I am SO nervous for both of us) and I have heard that will calm her down some. Any opinions on that?? |
