Omega-3 Improves Your Pet Health

They are good with other dogs if they are well socialized as a puppy with the other dogs. If they are not properly socialized as a puppy then they can be snappy towards other dogs. Since they are a small dog they can easily be afraid of larger dogs if they are not introduced to many as a puppy. Taking your dog to a puppy class at a dog training school would be best. They learn to play with other dogs and they learn body language of other dogs. Your puppy should be in puppy class before it is 16 weeks of age so that you don’t miss the puppy’s socialization period.
Whether a dog is good with a cat depends on a couple of things. First is whether or not the cat knows how to socialize with a dog. If a cat doesn’t know how to read a dog’s body language, then the cat will run and be chased. If the cat knows to just stand still, the dog almost always will just sniff the cat and walk away since it isn’t any fun when its not moving. It also depends on the dog. Some dogs have absolutely no interest in cats. Others think cats are the greatest toy in the world. My dog was raised with a kitten at the breeder’s that he used to wrestle with. Now he thinks all cats want to play with them, but most don’t since he can get overexcited and may look threatening to cats who don’t like dogs. If you already have a cat and you are getting a puppy, keep the two separated at first. Slowly introduce your puppy to the cat and make sure you are in control of the situation, so that if your cat gets to frightened you can separate them again. You can also start letting the cat in the room while you are playing with and distracting the puppy. You will also want to teach your puppy to come to you even when he is approaching the cat.
Yorkies need to see a professional groomer every 6 weeks to 3 months since their coat gets very long quickly. If you want to keep the long coat, be prepared to brush it multiple times a day since it gets knotted very easily. A puppy cut on the yorkie is cute though and is much easier to take care of.
For a purebred yorkie it is usually $800 to $3000, but it could be more or less. If you go to a reputable breeder it will probably be somewhere in the $1200 to $2000 range.
Yorkies do have a tendency to have early tooth decay. Make sure to brush their teeth and continue to keep an eye on the teeth. If there is a lot of tartar, get the teeth cleaned by a vet so that they stay healthy and do not need to be removed. Oral health is very important for dogs (like it is for humans). Yorkies also can have very fragile bones. You need to be careful that your yorkie doesn’t fall down the stairs, off the bed or couch. Many people will get little steps so that the yorkie has a way off the furniture rather than jumping since this can injure them.
If you want a puppy then get one from a breeder. Search for breeders in your area. If you want an adult dog or are open to rescuing a puppy, then look into breed specific rescues in your area. You can find all of these just by searching google with your city.
Yorkies are good little dogs. They can be a little yappy or snappy if not brought up properly and not socialized with lots of different dogs, people and situations.
Bark and Fitz is a small dog company and they sell some really cute items. I’m not sure how much clothing they have, but they definitely have a wide variety of leashes and collars. I’m not sure if their inventory is on line, but there are quite a few of their stores around these days.
Good luck and enjoy your yorkie!

Yorkies are normally good with other dogs if you introduce them at a young age. Yorkies hate cats and small kids. Grooming is hard and can cost alot, i would keep the coat short (it is easier to groom). I have a Yorkie and a Maltese mix she cost $400 but i herd it was raised to $800. I’m not shure about yorkies. They have alot of dental problems so i would brush there teeth regularly.
