What farm animals has your Yorkie met? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gracie2006 · 06-23-2007, 05:44 PM

I took Gracie for a walk today at a local park that has a farm in the middle of it. We went down the back trail past the horse pastures. One of the horses came up to the fence to say hello. Gracie jumped back and looked at me like "Mommy, that is the biggest dog I have ever seen!" I just cracked up laughing. They don't let pets in the barnyard area so I could not see her reaction to the cows and pigs! I'm sure she would love the chickens and rabbits though. I was just curious how other Yorkies react to such critters.

My Yorkies have met: horses (we raise them) barn kitties, chickens, goats, and a donkey.

Geez, Winston lives such a sheltered life...I don't think he's "met" any animals except the neighborhood bunnies, squirrels and birds. One time on a walk, we came across a pretty big owl, he was actually on the ground under a tree...didn't want Winston to even see it, so took a quick left...

My GiGi met a bird??? Robin I think.. She went crazy!! I live in right in the city of Pittsburgh, I am afraid to take her out because there are pitbulls everywhere plus all the stray cats are at least double her size

We live on a farm and raise goats, cows, chickens, ducks, geese, guinneas... I think that's it! lol Oh... and we have 5 kids, does that count?

Shyla does not like chickens!!! She will pounce them every chance she gets. So guess who got penned up? Not Shyla! We built our chicken yard in so now the dogs can't mess with them.

Lacy has seen my Aunt's horses and does NOT like them..LOL. I think that she thinks they are a huge dog! She has seen baby chicks, ducks, and rabbits at the feed store. She starts kindof whining and acts wierd when she sees the rabbits. I had thought about getting one as a pet before I got my new kitten but was really worried how Lacy would do with it...esp. considering she eats rabbit as does my cat LOL

Britney and Brooklyn have seen horses (both in the wild and on farms) and Britney always barks at them.

She also loves chasing the chickens at my VA home.

They've also seen other farm animals: rabbits, birds, etc.

Wobie ha s a best buddy, and she's a rabbit. We also have four other rabbits. We also have snakes and lizards, but Wobie doesn't get to see them up close. He likes the ducks and the chickens at the feed store. No big animals yet, though!

Max has met pigs - we stayed on a pig spa one weekend. They have an old cabin around New Hope PA, are pet-friendly and it's a lovely spot in the country.
The pigs were a really nice surprise! They are bright and clean and sweet. Max liked them. They weren't all that interested in him.

People send their pigs there to board, to lose weight, to rehome them, it's a pig rescue organization, and, I honestly stopped listening after that. Nothing against rescueing any animals, but these people were millionaires. There are children who need to be rescued!

Of course, I'm being terribly politically incorrect, judgemental, and if it was a dog rescue place, I'd be all for it. Sorry if anyone takes offense, but I've never heard of pig mills.

Max has also met cats and birds. We live in the city.

Simon and Hallie have met cows, ponies, pigs, ducks and geese oh and rabbits. And if you count the time we lived in Alaska they have also seen moose, bears, caribou, and bison.

Simon HATES cows and barks at them in his loudest voice

Hallie wants to eat the rabbits, ducks, geese, cows and she tolerates ponies

Sir Max · 06-24-2007, 11:06 AM

Everything imagiable that you could have, but he hasnt only met them, it doesnt take long for them to learn he is boss, wearing his coveralls bought from a YT member.

I think Simon and Eddie are long-lost brothers.

Eddie has met a goat. He wasn't allowed to play with it, but he didn't bark.
