Allergies on Yorkies: Causes and Treatment

soymarylamamadebonbon Breed 101, Common Conditions July 12, 2018

I have been trying to minimize Bonbon’s allergies for some time. Specially during Spring and Summer time, pollen is a real issue and it affects humans and dogs as well, and so much so Bonbon. When dealing with allergies, you can treat the symptoms but it is hard, nearly impossible, to cure them.

There are different types of allergies that may come and go with the season. Sometimes dogs can grow into or out of allergies. I remember Bonbon never suffered any allergic symptoms until a few years ago, when he turned 6 years. Although it takes some effort and time, allergies can be reduced with persistence and patience.

Leaving my Beloved Yorkie -Bonbon behind while travelling

soymarylamamadebonbon Share your Story March 15, 2018

On November of last year, I took a well deserved vacation trip to Europe. It would be 30 days long and since I was going to stay in friend’s homes it was not possible to take Bonbon with me.

As you can imagine this was a main concern for me but on the other hand I needed and wanted to go back to the “old continent”.

It was quite challenging as to where and with whom I would leave him.

Bonbon is a member of my family, as I am sure your Yorkie is for you as well. The hardest decisions will be with whom or where to leave them when you travel.
The Yorkshire Terrier has been bred over centuries to be companion lap dogs. Wanting to be close to their owner and having a very close bond with his owner are inbred traits.

You want. I am sure for them to be safe and comfortable without you, which is why it’s best to plan ahead when possible.

Can a Yorkie be a working dog?

soymarylamamadebonbon Breed 101 May 31, 2017

Well known as friendly companions and adorable lap warmers, the Yorkshire Terrier is a popular breed of dog. However, they were not always bred to solely be family pets. Working class men in Northern England developed this breed of dog specifically to catch and dispatch rodents as they were a growing problem. This work ethic that the Yorkie was bred with still carries over today to our household pets.

How to Stop Biting Habit in Yorkie

Mary Behavior and Training October 1, 2016

Biting is a common problem among Yorkies as well as among other small dog breeds. This intention to bite is noticed among young Yorkies but if certain measures have not been taken, then they will preserve this habit. Biting is usually noticed when a Yorkie is adapting to a new environment and to new owners. Sometimes, Yorkies are too energetic and they may bite you without paying any attention to what they have done.

It is one of the reasons why the most of dogs of this breed suffer from gum disease and tooth decay.

Choosing a Yorkie Puppy or a Veteran Yorkie as Your Pet

Mary Breed 101, Yorkie Adoption and Foster Care February 26, 2016

When choosing a Yorkie puppy as your pet, you need to pay attention to specific characteristics. First of all you need to pay attention to the health of puppies and if you see that some of them behave in a different way, you need to exclude them from your choice as if a puppy is a bit ill, it will be rather hard to train. Besides, these toy breeds are prone to health issues and it is rather important to choose the healthiest one.

Symptoms of Separation Anxiety in Yorkies

Mary Preventive Care December 6, 2015

When you are going to buy a dog, you need to understand that your pet should not stay home alone for a long time. A Yorkie may really get depressed if staying without the owner and may even get a disease called separation anxiety. This disease may develop if you leave your Yorkie for long time periods. Yorkies are really sensitive dogs and the symptoms of this disease may really become vivid just after 30 minutes.
