Eastern South Dakotians here?? Anyone here from Eastern South Dakota?! or south dakota in general!! |
There sure is! "Shorty" and his family live just outside of Sioux Falls. "Shorty" is a teacup as his name may suggest! |
awesome!!! Finally got a response:) hehe... how long have you been a member? |
I just joined a week or so ago. Shorty is a dog I adopted from a Sioux Falls animal shelter a year and a half ago. He is not young but our vet says he has a lot of good years left if we take care of him. We had to have all of his teeth removed, but he compensates well without them. He is a teacup and weighed 5lb 2oz when I got him. We have him plumped up to 6lb 8oz now...He is spoiled rotten. |
Hi ginnyb and Shorty. Welcome to YT. ok, as much as I don't like telling people this, I must tell you so you won't continue saying Shorty is a T-cup and maybe get a rude comment. T-cup dogs are only what some breeders call their runts (about 2 pounds fully grown) so they can sell at a higher price. People who show dogs would cringe at the word T-cup. Your boy is "normal" and your lucky he is since "most" super tiny ones have health issues. I hope I haven't upset you. It isn't my intention. ;) |
Thanks for the correction on "teacup" We are German Shepherd people and I use to show English Bulldogs in obedience years ago so having our "little Yorkie Man" is a new experience for us. He is very tiny though, compared to the Yorkies I have seen over the years. |
It's very refreshing to see someone who thinks their 6 pound yorkie is small. So often we see people complaining that they thought the here buying a "teacup" and their dog turned out to be HUGE. It weioghs almost 6 pounds.. :confused: They refuse to listen when they are told that a 6 pound dog is a very small dog, when they were wanting as 2 pound one. BTW I have a daughter that lives in Sioux Falls. Her husbnd owns the Outbsck Steakhouse there. |
Thanks for the response. Shorty was a dog I got from the animal shelter here in Sioux Falls. He is not young but healthy. His eyes are cloudy and he takes glucosamine for a limp he "used" to have for one of his back legs. He was found as a stray. (what idiot would ever let a Yorkie stray doesn't deserve him). We've had to have all of his teeth removed and he does just fine without them. The vet says he has a strong heart and otherwise healthy. We are German Shepherd people, so a 6 pound dog is like a midget to us! Thanks for the response...Haven't been to Outback Skthouse yet..I'll have to check it out. My husband's family is from Council Bluffs. Ginny |
