Yorkie Rescue

i nead help to find a yorkie beacuse if i dont find one fast than my parents say i cant get one =(

look on petfinder.com for rescues. it will give you options for locations near you. Good Luck!

I’m suspecting that she’s about 6 wks along the other dog that she was penned with was also a yorkie which my friend adopted. Could someone share some signs of pregnancy that they observed with their yorkie. Thx

The average litter size for a yorkie is 4.
There’s not really any way to tell, my Jack Russell had 4 in her first litter and 5 in the next.
Oh, and don’t press hard on her belly because it can hurt the puppies!

years old, there is only one that he licks alot can any one tell me why he has them or why they appear, the home where I got him said not to worry.

So when you took him to the vet within the first 24 hours of getting him what did the vet say?

Certainly you did not take the word of someone who was dumping their ten year old pet that everything was ok.

Obviously you also knew that when you take on a senior pet they are going to have health issues that need to be addressed by a vet.

If you have not taken him to the vet, then take him today for a wellness check, and geriatric work up.

I am currently saving my money for a baby Yorkshire terrier, and would like to get one from a shelter but I am also open to breeders

Just keep checking the shelters. Some will call if you’re looking for a specific breed, just ask them.

I have recently taken in two rescue yorkie’s, brother and sister.
He has been castrated but she hasn’t been spayed.
She recently came into season, but I didn’t really have any problems with either of them, they did mate a couple of times, but as he has been castrated, it doesn’t really matter. The thing is, I have been told if she is going to be spayed, it should be done around two to three months after her last season.
Should I have her spayed, or should I not, what is better for her. Any vets out there with some good advice?
Thanks.
I have actually rescued 5 yorkies previous to these two, and lost four to cancer,two un-spayed dogs and two spayed bitches.
The vet told me that cancer often attacks dogs that are spayed too young.This is the reason I’m making an enquiry, as I am in a different position with an un-spayed bitch.
I was told at the rescue that they didn’t know when her last season was and so to wait until she came into season before booking her in two to three months after and yes I will have her teeth quickly cleaned whilst under ,not a full clean as they have recently been done.
The vet said she doesn’t really like keeping small dogs under too long when they’ve had other surgery.
There’s a lot of good advice here, and the thought of a dog attack whilst out has convinced me that spaying would in fact be best for her. Thanks for all your help.

Yes you should dogs that aren’t spayed are prone to deadly health problems .Like pyometra which is a infection in the womb which if not caught quick enough and the dogs spayed will kill and also mammary tummours ( cancer) which again if not caught quick and removed can kill. These are common in older unspayed dogs . Your yorkie is only seven so still not that old and it is better to have her done now why she is fit and health that wait till she is older and has one of these problems as there is more risky to her . So i would always advice getting her done . You could also ask the vet if when she is being done to give her teeth a quick clean if she needs it.

the yorkie was a rescue.we have doxies in home already.

It is generally recommended to introduce dogs to each other on neutral ground such as at the shelter or a park. However, this doesn’t always eliminate bullying by your current dogs. We did this when we adopted our pomchi mix…we took our yorkie and pomeranian to meet him in the shelter playroom. The yorkie and the new dog got along just fine, but the pomeranian just ignored him. When the new dog was delivered to us, the yorkie still got along great with him. However, it has taken around 3 years for the pomeranian to finally accept him, but she has attacked him so often that the pomchi is scared to try playing with her.

Sometimes it just depends on how laid back your current dogs are. Previous dogs that we adopted were introduced right away at home with no problems.

Ok, this is very upsetting but I have been left with no other option but to give up my dog. My mum can’t put up with him any more. He has serious issues, he shakes at our feet when we dont give him attention, which he constantly demands. He howls whenever he is left on his own from the moment we leave until the moment we return, even if it it for a short time. When it is cold outside he does the toilet inside, he refuses to park his bum in the cold. He is vicous with other dogs and strangers, he howls and growls at them, making it imposible to walk him. He has come close to attacking strangers (children!) before as he chases them from the garden someone walks by.

My mum won’t put up with him any more and I agree, he is five times the work of a normal dog!

We live in scotland, what is our chances of finding him a shelter or another home? If you know any local places then please say. The dog is not happy, and we certainly aren’t. We have tried everything with him. Training/behaviour tips have not worked with

Thank you.
I am actually 16 years old and my sister, who also is responsible for the dog is 17. Hardly infantile.
I know training takes months, we have been trying for over a year! We did not buy the dog on a whim and we certainly do not want to "write him off".I will do anything that will help us, but so far nothing has worked. I don’t think Cesar Milan could help this dog, he doesn’t behave like a dog should. If it wasn’t for my persuation over my mother the dog would have been given away years ago. This isn’t my choice but it’s the only option left to us.
Great. I love this dog more than anything, he is my best friend. I know we did wrong by him when he was little but we didn’t know we were encouraging his behaviour! He would sit at our feet and shake if we didn’t give him attention, we thought it was cute, we didn’t know he would go crazy from this! I am not a pro. How was I meant to know that the dog would turn out this way? If I had my way I would spend every penny on behavour classes but you know what? My mum thinks she knows it all and won’t put him through it! I am stuck down a hole, I have done everything that I can for my dog but there is only so much I can do on my own. Why is it me that has failed as a dog owner when I am the only one trying to help him? My mum thinks classes won’t help. She thinks he is ruined. This is very painful and I am in tears reading some of the very insensitive comments. I will try to persuade my mum but don’t judge me.I have done everything that I can for the dog. I just want what’s best for him now

If he can be easily trained out of his behaviour then please say how this can be done rather than useless judgement!

If it is that easy then don’t you think I would have done it! I have tried to do it! For over a year I have been trying to fix him, I have read books, internet advice, vet advice etc. I have tried everything. I have put so much effort into this and I will be the first to admit I don’t have a clue what I am doing but I am TRYING!

here is a list of places because i do not know where in scottland you live, hope this helps:
his list includes organisations that rehome both cross-bred and pure-bred dogs.
There is a separate alphabetical list of specialist breed rescues.

Last week I "rescued" a 3 year old Yorkie. He was neutered only a month ago and I think spent most of his life caged and being punished. This week he learned to heel and stay and is eager to learn but every time we turn our backs he pees in the house. We have another 3 year old Yorkie who is well trained and they have become friends and play mates. Any suggestions out there?

Kennel trian him. If your not familiar with the technique you keep him in a kennel all night long. Chances are he will have to use the bathroom in the night, but will not go in the area that he sleeps in. Imediately upon opening the kennel in the morning take him outside to use the bathroom. This repition will make him feel like he is only supposed to use the bathroom outside. It is the quickest method ive used.
