My 4th Child - Notti Boy

Nottie Boy was adopted. While i was at show, i met the breeder of yorkshire and she asked if i am interested to adopt a silky since she noticed that i took good care of my silky. I of course say yes without even thinking of having a look at it. To me, all silky should be like my dogs, having straight furs. So it was really a surprised to me when he was bought to me on one sunday, while gene, doreen were there. The first look at him, really made me wonder if i should take him in. He was in a small crate and smelly...and i did noticed that he dont seem to walk properly. But as i am a dog lover, althought with him in this bad condition, i still cant bring my heart to say no to them. So i adopted him. The first thing i did with notti boy is to bath him. Doreen helped me do that....and blowed him. I would thought the furs will go straight, but gee, guessed not. I also noticed that he got soft furs, so it means his furs will get tangles easily





Notti boy was not house trained, so after the bath, letting him run about the house, he started to mark places. Also he is so active, like he was never out of the cage...jumped from one place to another. Having him take more of my time combing him. Oh he loves to play balls especially those that can bounced. As he is not house trained, so i need to lock him in the cage, but of course the cage i gave him is much much bigger than the one that bought him to my house. Of course there will be times when he was let out to play with the others.


So after few months of me giving him good shampoo and conditioner and also combing his fur, he is now more presentable....smile....but still it is only for a short while, after that, gee...it will be like a dog that was not well taken care.


Notti boy got one bad habbit and that is he cant stand suki moved about. If suki is to make a move, he will start barking. So sometimes i will have to put muzzle for him. When i had the muzzle on him, he will turned himself away and hid at one corner of the cage and will not move at all, until i remove the muzzle. Isnt he cute on muzzle? People said i am cruel to him, but it is not. It is protect him for if too much noise, MPSJ might come and look for me and then he might have to go. As it is, i already debarked two of the dogs....both of my daughter's.




Althought notti boy is naughty, but he is really one good dog when i placed him on grooming table. He will sit there quietly and not jump down unless if suki moved. Althought i knew he is not perfect for dog show, but still i took him for the show just for the fun of it. Can you all differentiate which is notti and which is suki?






Once we took him to orphanage tour organised by Lovdog.com and i was surprised that he can behave so well. The children were all so attached to him. See the different of his furs from the first picture that i took. The picture of the child staring at him is the one that i like the most. On that day, notti boy also ended up as a model for ann during the grooming demo.





I got no regret of adopting him....only regret is i cant show him due to the way he walked. All these are the cause of in line breeding. That is why as saying goes, it is best to know what you are breeding or buying then just mate any dogs that you dont know and ended up having a dog that has problems.
