Tinx,
Don't worry about offending...the one thing I have learned here is, unless you post with all information including SS# and entire life story someone will mis-construe the story...I still learn alot here every day and every one here has some really good advise. They have helped me immensely. You have learned from the experience and that is good. I for one hope the pups and mom are doing well. Would love to see pics...and I am glad you are getting them spayed. I am getting my 7 year old stray yorkie nuetered next week. Like the others said where there is a will...or a female in heat...there is a way,...or a guy thinking with the wrong brain...lol

I also had a Cocker before I got the two I have now. I never made him stay outside by himself. It would have broken his heart if I'd kept him locked out. I don't believe in keeping dogs outside either, unless you live on a Ranch and you have 4 to 5 working dogs. My cousin has 5 Boarder Collies that stay ouside all the time and sleep in part of the bunk house. They're working dogs that protect the cows and calfs from coyotes. Then she has her beautiful Yorkie who is always by her side indoors and out. Cockers are not the type to live outdoors.:( Maybe you could get her spayed since this is her 6th litter.

I know this is hard to believe for all us with our "petted" little yorkies, but lots of people don't believe a dog should live in the house. That doesn't make them wrong, they have different opinions, beliefs or coultures.
Just because we don't believe that doesn't make us "right" either.
What if I though it was cruel to make a dog pull a sled in the snow, or be in danger from coyotes while protecting cows? Does my opinion make me right and the owners of those dogs wrong?
We live on a farm with cattle. We have had a cattle dog that did not ever come in the house. I tried to get her to come in when I thought it was too cold, but she would not.
We have had a 20lb cocker spaniel, who was also an outside dog. He loved the outside. I put him up safely in the garage at night, and during the colder weather, he slept in our utility room. He was the happiest dog I have ever seen. He went to the shop every day with my DH, and was so proud of himself when he could catch a rat or rabbit or bird. He was so fun to watch running through the pasture, jumping like a rabbit, or chasing prey.
Then there is Bonnie, whom I would not let out of my site for one moment outside, although I think she would love to run and chase birds and rabbits. Let's not forget yorkies are little ratters:)

We are all on here because we love our yorkies - Please be kind to one another!

I grew up on a farm, and, yes, your dogs have a wonderful life and so do many farm dogs who trail after their owner all day long. They receive attention and care. But it is different when you live in town, come home from work, are too tired to take the time to go to the back yard and give an outdoor dog the attention that he/she needs. You may go out there but it will be for only a minute amount of time. If your doggie is indoors than it can follow you around all over the house and be part of your life. It's such a pity when town doggies are kept in the back yard day in and day out. Live in a small town and I can attest to the neglect that totally outdoor doggies suffer. And our local cops don't care.:(:(:( ~Joanne~

Yes, one of the main reasons I wanted a yorkie - to be inside and sit on my lap all day, cause now that I am older, I don\'t like to go outside much.

Drama, Drama, Drama. That\'s all some people like. Just remember what goes around comes around. I hope you find good homes for your pups, and get her spayed. Can\'t wait to see some pics.
