* Foxes are scavengers: They primarily eat small animals, insects, and fruit. Toy Yorkies are too large and noisy for a fox to consider as prey.
* Foxes are wary: They are generally afraid of humans and their pets. A fox would be more likely to avoid a garden with a pet than to try and take it.
* Toy Yorkies are indoors: A toy Yorkie would likely be inside the house, not in the garden, where a fox could access it.
However, there are some things to keep in mind:
* Foxes are opportunistic: If food is scarce, a fox might be more likely to take a risk.
* Toy Yorkies can be small: While unlikely, a very small toy Yorkie left unsupervised in a garden could be vulnerable to a bold fox.
It's always best to be cautious and take precautions to protect your pet:
* Keep your dog on a leash when outside.
* Never leave small dogs unsupervised in the garden.
* Consider using a secure dog run if you want your dog to have some outdoor time.
If you are concerned about foxes in your area, you can contact your local animal control or wildlife management agency for advice.
