Tea Cup Yorkie Predators

You have searched long and hard for just the right Yorkshire Terrier Puppy. Make sure that you are aware of the fact that all Yorkie Puppies have lots of predators. With just a smart amount of caution you can assure the safety of your puppy.



Know The Predators



Threats come in different guises, shapes and sizes.

A small Tea Cup Yorkie darting around in an open area, such as a field, can present a deceptive outward appearance. To a large hawk flying high overhead, it can look like a rodent, and the "swoop and capture" reflex can be triggered.



Even your neighbors' friendly dog can experience the "sprint and capture" reflex. One family told us about a coyote that bounded from the surrounding woods, into their yard, and snatched their small, defenseless puppy.

Their was no time to reach their puppy, as the wild animal dashed back into the woods.



What was it that made you want to add a Yorkshire Terrier to your family? It was quite probably the first time you saw that ball of energy dashing around, eyes bright, silky hair flying in the wind. That is when people usually say, "I want one."

Make sure that the Yorkie you love so much is safe from human predators.



Unseen Tea Cup Yorkies



Your Yorkie loves to snuggle in a blanket, shirt, jeans, or anything else that is on the floor. If the object they have curled up into is full of material and folds, the predator here becomes a human foot. That is when a puppy nap becomes a heart breaking disaster.



Is is safe to take your Yorkie on a walk, into the park or let it run and play in your yard? Of course it is. After all, that is most likely the reason you wanted a dog in the first place. The key to avoiding all of the scenes mentioned above, is to watch your puppy, just as you would watch your child in public and outside areas. Be aware of that bundle of silky hair running along side of you. They are depending on you for protection.
