Marilyn's reply reminded me that we put up chicken wire around the bottom of our fence a few years ago, to keep a Jack Russell Terrier inside the fence. We stapled it up about 6-8 inches and then did a 90 degree corner with it and used tent stakes to keep it staked to the ground. Eventually, the grass grows over it and it is still there after about 7 years. No dogs can dig out (or in) of the yard. Works very effectively!!!

I also like the chicken wire idea! I live in a duplex, and the guys on the other side built a fence around the whole yard and between our yards in the back. When they were building I was a little worried because there were spaces that Layla could potentially fit through, but when they were done they put up chicken wire. One of the guys has a couple of poms too so I think it was his idea

Poor dog! Poor guy! It sounds like what happened to my Gracie. The dogs dug a hole that they didn't know about, and I shouldn't have been in the backyard where they could see my dogs without Steve there.

I called Gracie's breeder, and she told me very quickly that she had no puppies.
I can't blame her.

You can only go with your heart. Send him to a yorkie site to look for a new puppy
if you're uneasy about it.

I know you must feel so sad about the puppy. You love all your puppies before they go to their forever homes.

I'm so sorry this happened.

This guy is a pastor at a large Houston church, not that that makes much difference. Hubby and I have decided to work with him on another pup, but with no special considerations. I have two people on a waiting list, so we'll see!

Sorry Sandy what a sad thing to happen. I am sure like the others mentioned that he is really upset about it and freaky accidents do happen. I would say go with your gut it never fails... Good luck with Fancee....
