Max Digs a 1' Hole in the Backyard! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

AllDogBoots · 04-03-2011, 12:16 PM

(please ignore the mess in the backyard).

The first part of the video is my pet bull, Max realizing that Cooper just came outside. TACKLE!!! However, Cooper is not allowed outside yet because he hasn't finished his breakfast, so he gets sent back into the house to finish. Max then continues his dig to China, which he started last week! I could understand if there's Skinneeez or squeaky eggs in there, but he's digging for rocks. Just rocks. When he loses one in the grass, he goes back to his hole to find more.

Anyone else have a Yorkie digger?

Max does nice work! Send him to my house, I need some holes dug for shrubs.

Neither of my guys are diggers. No need to dig when the chocolate bunny eggs are right on the surface.

That is one of the reasons my boys aren't allowed in the backyard anymore.

Max and Cooper's haircuts turned out so nice. I can see the effect of the hair thinning on Coop, and Max looks so silky. Very handsome!

OMG when I first read your post before I watch the video this is how I read it....

The first part of the video is my pet bull, Max.

I was thinking she has a pet bull. LOL

No diggers here. Max just wants all the rocks. That is funny.

He is definitely digging to China! What a mighty terrier he is.

Jackson likes to dig but usually only at the dog park. He on occasion will dig in our yard. But I dunno what it is about dog park dirt, he just looovesss to dig it up!!

Perrella · 04-03-2011, 03:51 PM

Oh yeah, he is so busy and loving it too.

No yard digging for Zhoie...she only digs on my nightie looking for you kong ball (that she drops there)

...silly girl.

How nice their hair cuts turned out.

Thanks everyone. I call Max a bull because whenever he sees Cooper anytime after sleeping he gets so excited and barrels into him. Max has dug many holes in the backyard and it's always to get the treasured rocks.

Cooper's hair is still way too long. Not sure exactly why the groomer decided upon herself to keep it long. At least the mats are out.

Max and Cooper are so adorable. I thought at first you meant pitbull

He really is quite the digger! I've caught Trixie digging big holes in our yard too.....and I don't think she is looking for anything??

Mine dig and dig and dig....at the fence line all over the dog run. Looking for the bunnys who live under our shed. We have filled and filled and filled them in and planted grass seed and then a week after we take the fence down... here we go again.

Oh well.... it's a lose couse!

Max has never dug by the fence. Oh I really hope he never does. What a nightmare that must be.

That was cute. They both look so nice. I have a digger, but she'll only dig where there is soft dirt around a plant. Not much of that for her to get into.

You made me think, maybe my boys aren't diggers because the clay around here is too hard to dig. We often have to use a pick to dig a simple hole.

They're pretty smart! They probably don't want it stuck in their feet.

AllDogBoots · 04-04-2011, 06:04 AM

I bet it's not the clay but the fact they don't want dirt on their paws

Max doesn't care. In fact he's so tough that we are dealing with really dry/cracked paws now. He's had this issue since we brought him home.

katarina · 04-04-2011, 06:17 AM

totoro's started "trying" to dig outside too but the snow hasnt completely melted so well see what hell do when the grass is out
