This is very strange to me, but I wonder if any one else has this issue. I live in a large condo building (there are lots of little dogs), and we take our boys on dog walks all around the building and public water front areas.
Well, my dogs (both of them!) are constantly barking and acting like they want to attack other dogs (tiny chihuahuas, pomeranians, bulldogs, pugs, etc. This isn't a size thing.) BUT whenever we come across other Yorkies, my boys get so excited and want to play with them!!! How do they know that these other dogs are also yorkies???? They only like Yorkies!!!
~Just one example: One day we were literally pulling the dogs away from barking at our neighbor's bulldog, when my boys catch a glipse of a yorkie puppy coming our way. Their whole demeanor changes and they turn back into happy, friendly dogs!! TOO STRANGE TO ME!!! How could they possibly know who's a yorkie and who isn't????

Does anyone else have this problem????
