Issue No. 51 – What's inside

A Yorkie learns all the time
Who doesn't wish to enjoy a harmonious relation from the beginning on? But without you as the (Yorkie) herd chief – guiding and teaching your dog cleverly – this won't come true and therefore will only remain a wish. As soon as the Yorkie joins your family, he learns. He starts learning right after his birth: from his mother, his siblings, and hopefully from his breeder, too. Now, it's your job to perfect the available foundation and to iron out the faults committed at an earlier stage. And don't forget the essential task: to avoid new faults, of course! One should always keep in mind: a Yorkie learns his whole life through, unfortunately also negative things… Read further in the YTJ 51
The 10 most frequent questions concerning the Yorkie's diet
Can I feed my dog bones? Or raw meat? How many meals are suitable for my Yorkie? Does cat food harm to my dog? What about titbits? Questions, and more questions...

If you do so for a too long period of time, your dog will get deficiency symptoms. We love to give our darling little delicious snacks between the meals – but no milk chocolate, please!

The old Yorkie

The dog turns grey slowly: it starts at the lips and the chin, continues at the cheeks, the nose and the eyes. Finally, it reaches the front and the head. Our dog has become old. The hearing and the eyesight dwindle, but fortunately not the sense of smell. An old Yorkie should not be pampered or mollycoddled, it only needs a bit more attention – that's exactly what is needed now...
