What Genetic Health Tests Should Yorkshire Terriers Have Done Before They Are Bred?

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

A friend of mine has a male Yorkie who wants to offer him as a stud. After countless hours of trying to talk her out of it, she won't give in. So since I can't stop her from spaying him, I could atleast educate her so that when she does breed him it is somewhat responsible.

I'm farmiliar with genetic tests for larger dogs, especially herding dogs, but toys aren't especially my forte. I've looked at almost every recource I have but I can't find which genetic health tests should be done on Yorkies before (or if) they are even bred.

By the way, Zorro, the Yorkshire Terrier my friend wants to breed does have a nice temperment, and nice structure, it's just that fact that my friend has absolutly no idea what she is getting herself into. If he was paired with the right female, and if his tests come out clear, then he could contribute some well-rounded puppies to the breed.

At any rate, thanks for your time! =]

The most common genetic faults in Yorkies are: Patellar luxation
Portosystemic shunt (Liver Shunt), Retinal dysplasis, and Tracheal collapse. The only one that there is a test for is the eye diseases, and that will only predict about 50%. The other issues generally appear by age three, with the Liver Shunt appearing around six months. So your friend should have an ortho specialist evaluate his kneecaps, and get him CERF certified for his eyes. Thanks for trying to talk her out of this! Maybe when she sees the cost of health certifications she will change her mind.

Why Does the AKC Have a "Terrier Group" but Not List All Terriers in It?

Monday, January 5th, 2009

For example, the Manchester Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier's are in the Toy group..?
Size makes no sense.
Take the Silky Terrier (in the toy group) and the Skye Terrier (in the terrier group. They are essentially the same size, just different proportions….
Like I said, they are different proportions….

Terriers are energetic, with low tolerance and aren't too social. They are small to medium sized, and their ancestors were bred to hunt and kill vermin. The unlisted "terriers" do not fit into this category.

How Can I Stop My Yorkshire Terrior From Barking and Crying for Everything?

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

I have a yorkshire terrier and she is very play full, I play with her every time she brings me a toy but the problem is she cries for everything and she spends the whole day barking and when people come over all she does is bark and cry to get their attention and then when they stroke her she wees herself and carries on crying and barking.
Another problem is when I take her out on walks. She also barks at everyone and everything she sees. How can I stop this. Its very embarrasing and fustrating when she does this.

Consider what's making your dog bark. Does he need yard access? Is a cat taunting him through the window? Does he just like the sound of his bark?
Step2
Check your pet's basic needs: hunger, thirst or elimination. Your pup might be trying to tell you something.
Step3
Remove your dog's motivation for barking. For example, make a dog door for easy outdoor access or close the shades.
Step4

Invest in a citronella no-bark collar, which is effective and not cruel; if your dog barks, the collar sprays a small amount of citronella, which dogs dislike.
Step5
Use positive reinforcement to train your dog to bark on command; this will help him learn how to be quieted on command as well.
Step6
Say "Good" at the exact instant your pet exhibits good behavior, followed by a reward and plenty of praise.
Step7
Consult a board-certified veterinary behaviorist or a pet behaviorist for additional suggestions if all else fails.

hope it helps!

Happy Holidays!

Taking Care of My Six Week Old Yorkshire Terrier?.?

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

I just bought a 6 week old yorkshire terrier. I know that he is young to be away from his mom and I have reasons for that. I am just wondering if there is anything special that I should do to take care of him while he is still so small. I am feeding him puppy chow with milk and water rotating. He has bones and toys and acts completely healthy. I just want to make sure that it stays that way.
Any Suggestions?

No cows milk…That will upset his stomach and give him the runs. Goat’s milk is the closest to his dams milk, but he really doesn’t need it at 6 weeks – Mixing it with water is fine.
