Although Yorkshire Terrier Lavi - a gift of TV presenter Alexander Pedan to his daughter Valeria, the owner of the dog considers Alexander and obeys without question. However, she knows how to melt his heart.

Tiny with the pedigree "The daughter asked us to take the dog for a long time, but my wife and I postponed everything," says Alexander Pedan. - I wanted this to be a deserved gift, so we decided to make Lera a surprise. They took her after school from school, as if to rest on the nature, but actually went to the nursery. When the daughter realized where we had brought her, she was really delighted! I chose the yorkshire terrier puppy herself - the girl, the most well-fed in her litter. Breeders among themselves called it "candy". But over time Lavi grew up the size of a mini-york, and now weighs two kilograms - a slender girl.

At once there was a question, how to name a puppy. I offered to give her the name of the Goddess - abbreviated Buggy. But dogs with a pedigree, and ours exactly such, names should be selected according to it. Breeders proposed the name Lavinia. We liked that it can be affectionately called Lavi, decided not to look for other options anymore and agreed ".

"Fighting hamster" "Lavi has a restless character - she constantly runs, jumps, barks. They say Yorkshire terriers are very clumsy - they can fall off the couch and paw to break. But our Love is completely different: the impression that she considers herself a squirrel - jumps high, easily climbs into her arms, easily jumps off the couch.

Lavi has one more feature, for which we call it a "war hamster": someone has to cross the threshold of our house - she starts to bark, and when the guests leave, they can tear at the leg. Apparently, at this moment Lavinia recalls that she, though small, but the terrier.

In spite of the fact that Lavi was presented to Lera, the owner in fact considers the dog me. She obediently obeys and obeys me. But I also trust her: when I walk the Lavi, I never take a leash, and without it I do not run away, obediently goes near. When we walk with his wife, Lavinia always goes between us. From the outside it looks very funny - like a little dog, but behaves like a trained shepherd ".

Jealous and touchy "Our python has disadvantages. For example, she is very jealous. If I or my wife show feelings for Leroy, lisping with her, the dog immediately runs up and does everything to attract attention - substituting the head to be petted.

Lavi is very offended when one of us leaves home and does not take it with him. Literally a week ago, Lera and I went for a walk, and left the dog at home. Revenge Lavi did not have to wait long - she climbed onto her daughter's bed and made a pi-pi there.

If we go on a trip to Ukraine, we will take it with us. When we are going on vacation abroad - we leave Lavi to friends. Separation, she experiences extremely hard - five days can "cry" and howl. But our meetings are always joyful - even too much. After all, from the feelings overwhelming her, Lavi can make a puddle. And no matter how long we have not seen - two weeks or several hours, the reaction is the same. Therefore, we have an iron rule in the family: when you come home, in no case do not reach out to the dog, otherwise it will be embarrassed at joys ".

"Do you think a small dog needs less care than a big dog? You are very wrong. One of the reasons that my wife and I chose the Yorkshire Terrier dog five years ago is his special coat. Yorkie does not have undercoat and practically does not shed. And their hair is similar to human hair, and thanks to this structure, dogs of this breed less often provoke allergy in people. But at the same time the hair of the animals should be carefully looked after. Cut once or twice a month, bathe once a week, comb, make hair and tie bows (otherwise the wool closes the eyes of the animal and it does not see well). Since she does not have an undercoat, in cold weather you need to dress up in suits - Lavi has their whole collection. All this is the responsibility of the wife and daughter.

I'm responsible for the dog's walking and eating. And here, too, everything is not easy. The dog always has dry food and clean water. In addition, we regularly feed her "from the table". In no case Yorkshire terriers can not be given fatty food - it is dangerous for their health and even life.

Another "sore point" of dogs of this breed is teeth. Yorks they drop out early. This process is natural, and do not be afraid of it.. But for the prevention of the dog you need to brush your teeth with a special brush and paste with the smell of mint. This also I do.



It's not at all difficult for me to do this, because during those five years that Lavi lives in our family, she became her full member. We dealt with it as a small child - they paid a lot of time, looked after, walked, played. But Lavi is a very devoted creature. Often I return home from work late at night. My girls are already asleep, and only she does not lie down - she meets me, falls on my chest and waits for her to stroke. Agree, it is so nice when there is a living soul in the world, which is always glad to see you ".
