Dog's behavioral issues
My 2 year old yorkie seems to have a split personality. Half the time she is a fun loving little girl who loves her mama and other times she throws hissing/snapping fits. A video of her is here: http://www.dropshots.com/lizjoyork/date/2015-01-12/21:40:21 Usually I will try to console her but I wanted to get her noises and actions on tape. Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong?
Another thing is she might have two rows of teeth one in front of the other,
yes it would look like the teeth on a shark this is also a known problem with
a Yorkshire Terrier when the puppy teeth and adult teeth are both in the mouth together and you can see that no problem. Over the years I have had several puppies ( I kept here) who have had this it was always in my
very tiny Yorkies (as grown adults they are now 3-1/2 to 4 pounders) and as I do not know how large your girl is as an adult now that is another little
thing that goes along with the breed.

Hi
I raised Yorkies for almost 28 years so here's a thought. They are known for having bad teeth, also for retaining baby teeth when the adult teeth come in. Can you look in her mouth and see if she has a double set of her
teeth, you would see 2 K-9 ( fang adult tooth) and right behind it would be another small tooth with a crook on the end. There is also the possibility
she could have other double sets of teeth and if so her mouth would be very sore and painful a different times~ is she have problems eating kibble
or dry dog food, chew very slow roll her food around in her mouth?
Are her gums very red bright red do the seem swollen at the base of her
gums? This could cause the quick change in her personality as they would
either hurt off and on or hurt all the time but get worse at times.
I did try to copy and paste so I could go look at her actions but couldn't get
either to the right place or get it to open.
Is it possible to take her into a vet to have her teeth looked at(?) yes it'd
mean if it were her teeth and she had extra they would need to be extracted
but imagine if you had a infected tooth or teeth, while hers may not be in-
fected it is still the same kind of pain and they need to come out. THIS is
one thing that could be going on as infected or too many teeth in her little
mouth causes serious pressure and pain off and on.
Just a thought....usually extra teeth will not cause a total temperament change form easy going to outrageous but unless she has been allowed
to be a "child" and spoiled she shouldn't be throwing tantrums like a 2 yr.

Wow. Odd. Maybe she does have a split personality. Do you wear perfume sometimes maybe?
Have you observed her carefully when she started her strange expression? Is there anything strange happened and annoyed her? Or is there any change in the environment, food or anything affecting her daily activities?
