With such a caring owner as yourself, your yorkie’s life will assuredly be a happy one: lots of attention to health and diet, plenty of exercise, the right amount of spoiling… but it could be something even more – especially this Christmas! (more…)

Canine behavioral studies have shown that dogs may age 18-21 years (behaviorally) in their first year of life, and five years for every year beyond that. Thus, their first year entails many changes. (more…)

The processes of aging and gradual degenerative changes start far earlier in a dog than often observed, usually at about seven years of age.

If we recall that each year of a dog’s life roughly corresponds to about seven years in the life of a man, by the age of seven he is well into middle age.

Your yorkie dog will become less active, will have a poorer appetite with increased thirst, there will be frequent periods of constipation and less than normal passage of urine. His skin and coat might become dull and dry and his hair will become thin and fall out.

There is also a tendency towards obesity in old age, which should be avoided by maintaining a regular exercise program. Remember that the yorkie dog will be less able to cope with extreme heat, cold, fatigue, and change in routine.

There is the possibility of loss of impairment of hearing or eyesight. He may become bad-tempered more often than in the past.

Other ailments such as rheumatism, arthritis, kidney infections, heart disease, male prostatism, and hip dysplasia may occur. Of course, all these require a veterinarian’s examination and recommendation of suitable treatment.

Care of the teeth is also important in the aging yorkie. Indeed, the mouth can be a barometer of nutritional health. Degenerating gums, heavy tartar on the teeth, loose teeth, and sore lips are common.

The worst of all diseases in old age, however, is neglect. Good care in early life will have its effect on your yorkie dog’s later years; the nutrition and general health care of his first few years can determine his lifespan and the quality of his life.

It is worth bearing in mind that the older yorkie compared to the younger one needs more protein of good biological value, more vitamins A, B-complex, D and E, more calcium and iron, and less fat.

Feed elderly yorkie dogs twice a day as their digestion gets less efficient. Perhaps amounts at mealtimes need adjusting as elderly yorkies usually become less active and require fewer calories.

Some dogs, particularly the very old – need more calories than before. Judge the food by keeping an eye on the yorkie’s body shape and reducing or increasing the food accordingly.

Be careful though, some conditions such as heart problems can result in fluid gathering in the abdomen which makes the old yorkie appear pot-bellied.

Miniature yorkies rank among the most adorable breed of dogs. Many children like to play with them. They are called as such because their size is not fully developed compared to the standard yorkie. If you are considering getting one, here are some information about miniature yorkie puppies. (more…)

Once you actually have your teacup yorkie, overindulging and over-domineering him are equally bad. Upon reaching sexual maturity, permissively raised teacup yorkie pups often become difficult to handle because they have always been allowed to do as they want.

On the other hand, too early and too relentless training may lead him to have overexcited, nervous reactions to the least little thing. (more…)

An overly shy Yorkshire terrier that can never be found because he’s constantly hiding somewhere – even from his owner – is a nuisance, as is one that clings to you all the time. Not only is this behavior annoying in itself, but it can cause additional problems.

It’s not normal for dogs to be antisocial. By nature they are pack animals, extremely social creatures that thrive on group activity. (more…)

A Yorkshire terrier dog, coming as a raw recruit to a new home and master, requires considerable patience and understanding. Left to himself, he will develop under the influence of his subconscious instincts, many of which are undesirable under domestic conditions.

Some of these instincts have to be suppressed; others can be made use of and guided into special channels. (more…)

Some dogs are forever seeking fights with other dogs, but this problem doesn’t usually become seriously engrained until the animal is two to three years old. You should be able to observe early signs of such a propensity in your yorkie and begin corrective reprimands before it’s too late.

Some precociously pugnacious pups grow into nasty dogs that are never completely reliable and have to be watched constantly. (more…)

A Yorkie fight in progress is entirely different from one that’s just brewing or threatening. A ferocious full-blown fight can start in a split second; one in progress, the pace is fast and furious.

Flailing bodies, bared fangs, snapping jaws, the snarling and growling all blur together with lightning speed. To stop the action, you must act rapidly – and surely. (more…)

Some yorkies become so overly attached and dependent on their owners that they remain emotionally a perpetual pup. When this type of dog is separated from the owners for whatever reason, there can be adverse results.

Refusal to eat, constipation, diarrhea, and general physical exhaustion may be the result of such emotional stress. Such over-attached yorkies may literally pine away, slowly deteriorating and perhaps even dying. (more…)

Perhaps one of the major shocks any yorkie can receive in his lifetime is the realization that he is not the center of the universe. You – his owner – represent security to your yorkie, and he may think that the new arrival is interfering with his relationship with you.

He may take on infantile attitudes such as clinging coyly to you. Ignoring him may force him to do things to attract attention or spite you. He may mess up in his training because he feels pushed into the background. (more…)

Considering adopting a teacup yorkie? Yorkshire Terriers as they are commonly called belong to the family of toy breeds. Taking care of yorkies requires a big responsibility on your part. Because of their relatively small size, they are prone to several health issues. Here we will develop an understanding of teacup yorkie adoption. (more…)

Heartworm infestation is common among dogs in the United States. Discovered in 1856, these parasites thrive in your dog’s heart and attacks the major blood vessels. In worst cases, heartworms can greatly affect the functioning of the heart or clog blood vessels.
Likewise, heartworm infection can result to your dog losing their body weight and experiencing symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, chronic heart failure, disturbance in vision, feeling dropsy, and consequently death. The symptoms of infection can vary from one dog to another so it is best to consult your veterinarian for a final analysis.
Heartworm medication involves the use of chemical therapy for early diagnosis. This method of treatment can kill the worm over a certain period of time. Killing the heartworms in one swoop is not a better option as doing so will cause the dead worms to scatter and stay in the lungs which could kill the dog.
Bear in mind that using chemical therapy can be deadly to your dog as well as to the worms. If you are considering this method, let your veterinarian handle and administer the chemicals. There are also instances when surgery is required. When considering this alternative as well as other available options, you need to consult your veterinarian first.

In addition, there are drugs that can help prevent heartworm infections. These chemicals are designed to attack the worms in their early stages and prevents the worms from becoming a fully grown adult. But watch out cause this is no indication that your dog is already free from the infection as they are still prone to infestation but still show no signs of being infected by the heartworm.
If your dog has already a high degree of infection, using preventative medicine can have serious side effects. Preventative medicine requires strict supervision of a veterinarian. Administration should be combined with regular blood tests.

The best way to prevent your dog from getting infected with heartworm is to keep them from being bitten by mosquitoes especially if you are living in a mosquito prone area. Make sure that you place screens on your dog’s sleeping quarters to prevent repeated bites. Although there are repellent sprays that are available, they can have only minimal effects.

For preventative medicines, a veterinarian should likewise be consulted. Have your vet conduct a regular blood test to determine any signs of infection. This is the tricky part because you can not easily detect the symptoms of heartworm infection.
A healthy looking dog can be prone to being infected with heartworms. The best thing to do is have a veterinarian check them so they can administer the proper heartworm medication.

Bubby wanted to rip the ball form my cold dead fingers. It’s amazing how aggressive a sweet little Yorkie dog can be. People beware my Yorkie will claw and bite his way into your hearts.

I spent a few hours on this short 30 second clip so I hope you enjoy Bubby gnawing and clawing at my hand to get the ball. You’ll also notice the nature of our baby girl Yorkshire Terrier Bella. She is expecting me to give her the ball or bolt as soon as the ball is released form my hands.

But this movie is all about Bubby’s teddy bear claws, we had just taken him and Isabella to the groomers and I had forgotten to ask them to the claws. So they were rather longer than normal.
