| Yorkie Behaviors Hi I have a five year old yorkie, adopted her about 5 months agofrom a breeder, she's a retired showdog and she's wonderful but she has some weird behavior which I hope you all can give me more insight on. She is aloof and stand offish with strangers, she pace about in a circle particularly when she is stressed and she does not like males.She also licks her lips continuously when exposed to new situations. She is also a very picky eater, some time it seems she would skip a meal than eat. Do you have any idea why she has there weird traits? |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Hi and welcome to YT - it's good to have you here. Diana is right about them being divas and that can explain a lot of their weird behaviors. Do you know if she spent much time in a crate? If so, it's possible the circling when stressed is because of being crated. I don't know about the lip licking though, could be a stress reliever too, possibly?

| If she's a picky eater, might check into some different brands of food. Just a thought.
