| Is your yorkie friendly..or not? My friends Yorkie is not friendly at all, she barely acknowledges other people and her heart is only with her owner, my friend. Bailey is super friendly, he loves everyone!!! I was surprised at how very sociable he is! If someone wants to pay attention to him he is all for it

| My two will give anyone kisses who will accept them. They don't have a mean bone in their bodies. Kinda makes me jealous I thought all their kisses were for me!

| Tila is very friendly and happy go lucky. She loves people. She whines when no-one pays attention to her, for example if I take her for a car ride and someone walks by the car she whines when they don't stop and say hello. LOL! |

| I don't want to say Jackson is unfriendly by any means, because he's not. He's just shy with strangers. If he doesn't know you, he's not going to run right up to you happily and allow you to pet him! He takes his time but once he knows you, oh my God! He is ALL over you! People like my close friends, grandparents, parents, siblings, etc, he gets sooooo excited to see them! Once he's comfortable around you (which usually means being with a stranger for 1 hour at least), then he will let you pet him, etc. Now with dogs, he LOVES all other dogs, that's another story. He will be more reserved and shy with the bigger dogs at first but after about 60 seconds, he's sooo excited! He's more of a dog dog than a human dog, lol. If that makes sense. Something I also find interesting is that when we're at the dog park, he's a lot more willing to go right up to a stranger and accept a nice petting. It's crazy, it's like he's in his element and feels most comfortable when other dogs are around.

| I find this so interesting, I was under the impression, before I got Bailey that smaller breeds were not as out going and preferred the company of their owners only, I learned differently of course

| Both of mine are so friendly sometimes it's embarrassing. If they're out and someone doesn't give them attention they do everything they can to get noticed. I guess they somehow have the idea the world revolves around them. I wonder how THAT happened?

| Remy is very friendly, although he clearly has some sort of "people radar". Any known person is a best friend. Strangers are either readily accepted, or looked at somewhat skeptically, and he is standoffish until he is comfortable. Still have not figured out what his "decision making criteria" are, but he clearly has some |

YT Addict | My Lolli is a strange one. She growls and barks at anyone who passes by the back porch, or comes in the door. But she walks right up and wags her tail at the same time. If anyone were to stop and chat with us or to pet her, she stops growling and barking immediately and just soaks that attention right up!

| Mine cannot get too much attention. But I have met yorkies that are very standoffish. |

| Piper is very friendly and sociable. She lets people pet her and gets excited over the attention she receives but she won't let strangers pick her up. I noticed she is a little skittish around children. She did have an incident over the summer when a small child ran up to her as I was walking by. He tried to pick her up and she got very scared, so I immediately scooped her up. Then the child grabbed her foot and was pulling her leg because he wanted her. I finally got the child to let go of her leg and Piper almost climbed up onto my head she was so frightened. The whole time I'm thinking where is your mother? Somebody has to own this kid. The mother finally noticed that her child was being obnoxious and came to my rescue. I inderstand why she doesn't really like small children to touch her. She doesn't growl but she will try to get away if they lunge towards her.

| Daisy is friendly, but on the shy side. When we are out she will let people pet her, but doesn't get all excited unless she knows them well. When she growls, she is just talking or wants something. She makes all kinds of funny noises for various things!
