| A Blessing??? My little Gabriella is 6 mos. She barely makes a sound at anything! Occassionally she will whimper if she wants out of her carrier, but only for a second or two. When she did "bark" , it was so soft I couldn't believe she actually made the sound! From my past experiences with Yorkies, they barked a lot and quite loudly. I am considering taking her to the Vet to be checked out just to make sure she is normal! Does anyone on this Forum have a quiet little Yorkie??? |

| I would say it is a blessing!! Mine is fairly vocal, but I'm sure you'll hear of others with quiet ones.

| I do!! My little girl never barks EVER! She only cries if she wants me to do something and I'm not. She does make noises when she plays with her brother though! It's really funny to hear her actually make noise!! We call her our little mute! |

| Mine only barks when someone rings the door bell, and it is a very deep bark, like a 50 lb dog. When she wants my attention, she makes growly wookie noises, just her way of talking.

| My sister had a yorkie many years ago that barked, but always sounded like he had laryngitis. It was kind of sad for him. Mine all bark at any little movement or sound. I wish they were quiet like Gabriella!

| Where do I get one of these silent yorkies??? I WANT ONE. Does the genetic defect that eliminates the barking come with any undesirable side effects, such as excessive licking? Even so, I'd call it a bargain. |

| So far no side effects from being silent. I almost wonder if the breeder had her "soft barked" before I got her. She was a little older, 4 1/2 mos. All her permanent pets have been 'soft barked'. I hope this is not the case, sounds a little like cruel, to me. I am going to ask her when I speak to her next week. |

| From my understanding, it is a surgical procedure to the vocal cords. |
