Lopsided Yorkie? Hey All, Good Morning, I have a really stupid question. I got my female yorkie for Christmas and she was born Oct 3 of last year which makes her now a little over 4 months. Ok, here's the question, my husband is a truck driver and when he was last home was playing with them (also have a year old male) he says we have a very unique yorkie that she is lop-sided. Her front legs are shorter than her back legs. Is this normal? She is very very active and healthy and I got so concerned I took her to the vet to find out if she was maybe sick. I guess the vet figures that she will grow into her legs,feet...lol. Just wanting some feedback if anyone else has a lop-sided yorkie and if they stay this way or do grow into their legs...lol Thanks All, you all have been a great source of some great answers as well as concerns when questions arise about our furbabies. Also, whoever posted about the "Cowboy Magic" detangler, I have to say I finally found something that works! My male has very fine hair and always got matted easily, this product works. Take Care All Dee |

Some will correct as they mature, however some will not. As long as she is not for show/breeding that should not be an issue. It is a confirmation fault. Juzme |
October 3rd I don't have an answer to your question, sorry. But my little girls birthday is the same as yours. Yeah for October 3rd babies!!!!LOL |
Does her back curve up or hump up? |
Lopsided Yorkie Thank You for easing my mind but I did intend on breeding them and if this could be an issue of it not correcting itself than I just gave my husband a reason to maybe look into buying another female for breeding and continue lots of spoiling (no, not me...lol). I had no intention of breeding to sell yorkies, I just wanted to breed them 1 time so that I may give a couple of my family members this wonderful lots of love breed. They have all fallen in love with my 2 furbabies, but want a yorkie as a pet, but their hubbies won't let them spend lots of money on a "dog". They hubbies feel that keeping them healthy (regular vet visits), spoiling and loving is enough money to spend. I guess they could have a point but as I found out, you can't have just 1....lol.:) Thanks for the info Dee P.S. Kimberly, yes her back does curve up just a little. Does this mean something else? |
Maybe rethink you thoughts of breeding... She sounds like a sweet little girl.....but, you may want to rethink your hopes of breeding her.....low in the front, and with a curve in her back....may be hereditary faults.... Maybe some of the experienced breeders can give you advice here......they are sooooooooooooo good at helping newbies like us...:):) good luck :thumbup: |
I have a female this same age and it does look like her back legs are longer sometimes. I think she just walks that way because when she is alerted -- like when outside and she hears a bird or another dog or I call to her -- she straightens the front legs up, with head more erect and she has a nice straight topline. Mine is also longer legged than I am used to. I think she is just at an ackward stage but time will tell. Hope both our girls turn out just fine. If not, they will still be such loving pets! |

Sounds like Roach back. My Sadie has a slight Roach back. It doesn't make them sick or hurt them however, she shouldn't be bred. This could most likely be passed onto her puppies.. |
