Happy new year. I'm the mommy of Minnie, a normally happy nearly 3-year old Jack Russell Terrier (a 10-pounder). She is friendly and happy well up until she was biten on the snout by a nasty yorkie. The yorkie came up to her and Minnie sat next to him and let him sniff her then he came up to her snout and they were nose-to-nose. The yorkie started grunting and I got a bad feeling and the yorkie snapped and bit Minnie on the nose, she screeched. Then I screamed at the yorkie and he bit me! I used my shoe to get him away. The townhouse where the yorkie lived (no collar, no tags) had the windows open) and the owner, a retired lady who could barely walk) she called the dog home. She told me I was lying and that she saw the whole thing. it's true my dog was bigger than her yorkie but my dog didn't bite. My dog is very nice - she doesn't use her teeth to bite people or dogs. Now Minnie won't walk, she's scared of all dogs and I don't know what to do? Any ideas? This dog had so much life ..

You really need to get your dog back out there as soon as possible before she develops a full blown phobia. Are there any other dogs you know who are very friendly who she can meet with to gain her confidence back. Carry her if necessary for a while and purposefully take her past dogs. She soon realise it was a one off.

The old bag may not have vetted her yorkie and hopefuly its not got ur minnie sick?? I too have a j russell but he is a bad boy!! he is jealous of kids trys to bite and has attitude.he has short legs & is 15 lbs. He jumped out of our truck 1 day to go bite a chow. well the chow bit him back and he still wants to whoop any big dogsass. I would get minnie to a vet if behavior continues.

Well I believe what you said is true but I have a question of my own, have you reported that mean little yorkie to the dog pound?
