| Do your Yorkies have staring contests that end in a wrestling match? I love this behavior: My yorkies face off in opposite ends of my office; staring each other down. They are sitting like sphinxes just waiting for one or the other to make a move, then, usually the 9 month old will attack his older sister and start play fighting. You never know just when he is going to strike, it could take a few minutes! It's funny waiting for the onslaught Is this a common behavior? I have watched a lot of yorkie videos in my time and not seen this (gotta get a video camera). |

| Mt two do the same thing. Stare each other down and then start to wrestle. Then one takes off and they go racing through the house. It's cute to watch. Their seniors to boot. |

| Yup Mine do this too... Sometimes they run at top speed around the living room and through out the house... Sadie loves to bark so she runs and barks! It is really fun to watch. I am always a little worried they are gonna run onto something at top speed! it would hurt!

| Yup, if I see one crouched down in a corner I just look around and know the other two are in opposite corners somewhere just waiting for the right moment - it's hilarious

| Yes and it's quite hilarious at times because they sit for dayum near 10 minutes before attacking each other.

| My 3 do the same thing. They are like a cat waiting to pounce. So funny. Sometimes 1 would put his head down like he's laying down then all of a sudden ATTACK. Then they run run run all around the house chasing eachother. COCO PEBBLES TRIXIE |

| Yep! Our two do this as well. I also think it's funny when Kandi gets up on the bed or couch and just waits for Gizmo to walk by so she can pounce on him.

| My two do the same thing. It seems like they stare at each other for so long, then Jackson is always the one to start the wrestling match. Sometimes they come to me, like "mom, he keeps looking at me" lol. My boys tattle on each other ALL the time.

| Yep, Gracie Ruth and Yogi do this. The Stare Down, then Charge, Attack, Kill, Escape, Run, Chase, Tag, Turn Run, Separate and Repeat. They will also start with the staring and then s..l..o..w..l..y creep towards each other until they are actually touching nose to nose then total chaos erupts as the rear up and fight like the savage wild beasts Yorkies really are (in their own minds). We have actually turned off a movie to watch them play this. It is hysterical.
