| Do your yorkies howl? Usually mine dont but I dont know why but today they did 1st chachi then Jewels then chachi and so on. It was the silliest sounding howls I have ever heard kinda a raspy half howl. They did it when their daddy left to go bike riding. Do your yorkies howl? What makes them howl and how does it sound. Theirs were just so odd sounding but maybe its because Im not used to it

| I've read that howling is a dog's way of sending long distance communications. They were probably talking to your husband. Max will do a high pitched wooo wooo woo when I take Teddy out alone. He does it when he hears sirens too.

| My Yorkie doesn't howl but my Biewer female does. She usually does it when you are wanting her to be quiet, kinda like "getting the last word in". |

| I've never heard Mandie howl. She moans and groans a lot when nobody is paying her attention, though. That's so cute that both of yours were howling together.

| Ooh! Blazer just howled the other day! I left him downstairs with Buddy, as I always do when we leave the house, but we didn't leave right away. All of a sudden I hear this odd "bark, bark, ah-OOO!" I laughed so hard! It was just so unexpected, I've never heard him howl before! |

| OMG, This happened at my house last week. I was on the bed reading...as usual, Tyson was right next to me sorta taking a nap. The phone on the night stand started ringing. I didn't answer the phone because it was a 1-800 number. Tyson, he looked at me, looked at the phone, lifted his little head up and proceeded to howl! I almost fell off the bed He has never howled before but I used to have a Beagle that would do it all the time. I was stunned and he looked so silly!! When I started laughing he looked so surprised...I don't think he knew he could make that sound!

| My Rubin howls, well sort of. I compare it to long squeaky sounding EWWWW. Like a pitiful sound a very young girl would whine out, if she tried to do a wolf howl. He tips his head back and does the wolf howling at the moon pose, when a Emergency Squad goes by. He gives us the stink eye when we laugh at him.

| One night about 2 years ago, I was on YT (surprise!) and Peek A Boo, 14 yo then, fell asleep in the laundry room on a pile of dirty laundry. The TV was on low as it was very late at night, well actually early morning, and I hear this howling. I was busy posting and didn't give it a second thought. Then it hit me... I am not listening to Animal Planet, it was some crime show, lol. I spun around in my chair and start looking around the house, when I see this little wolf silhouette on a mountain in my laundry room. I sat there blinking my eyes and tryng hard to focus, then I realize it's my Peek A Boo! OMG, I laughed till I cried! I figured he might be calling to the girls (my other 3 dogs) playing Pack Leader or something. They don't usually leave him alone for long, so I thought he might have been missing them.... or calling out for reinforcements! I had him for 9 years, and that was the very first time I ever heard him howl! I'm also a wolf lover at heart, so I found this so exciting... I have my very own Yorkie-wolf! He had been fast asleep, and just sat up and started howling... Ah-oooohh Ah ah ooooooh! I could even see his little lips pursed out... I'll never forget that sight and sound. Love my Little Wolf-man!

| So weird you just posted this because Jackson started howling today - IN HIS SLEEP! I don't even think he realized he was doing it. Sooo funny. I got home from work, awful headache, so laid down to take a nap and he curled up at my legs. All the sudden, I was like WTF, it was the strangest howl too. Musta been dreaming. Otherwise, I can't get him to howl! I always want him to, lol. Oh one time he copied my grandma's Foxhound, who howls when you crate her. He just flipped his head up and went at it... it was sooo funny!

| Ziva howls to the emergency sirens- It is beautifully tuned so I have always encouraged it. Now Abby tries it too- it is more like a half cough and gag but she tries soo hard. They can be very loud and go on for awhile but it makes me laugh everytime! |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | My Biewers don't howl but my Havanese does. He sounds like Ah-rooooooo and you never know when he is going to do it. If you do it to him, he will mimic you and do it then. It is quite funny. |

| If any of mine would ever howl, it would scare the bejeezes out of me because my grandmother said that when someone close by dies, they howl. Anyway, it would still look and sound so cute.

| Rufus howls when I leave to work. My boyfriend leaves home later than me and he hears him howl He doesn't only howl when someone leaves but also early in the morning... Wednesday I stayed home and @ 7 in the morning I heard him howl but everyone was still at home. We were in the bedroom and he was in the living room, he howled for a couple of minutes and then went back to do his own thing We have never heard Nena howl, it's Rufus his thing

| My boy Dillon will howl only if I have a sneezing attack. If I sneeze several times in a row he starts howling and I just tell him 'thank you'.

| My yorkies don't but my little Maltese does. She learned how to do it from my great pryenees. One of my yorkies acts like she's trying to do it to. It sounds just like a wolf or coyote. |
