I have 3 Yorkies, 1 male Artie and 2 females Abigail and Pom Pom. I am not re-naming them but I do call them by different nicknames. I also call Artie w/c is pronounced Ottie since I got him when we lived in Boston, I call him Boy Boy or my Boy Friend, Abigail I also call her by Mama or Mamacita, I also call Pom Pom, Tiffany Aloha (AKC. Registered name) or Little Girl.
My point is they come regardless of what I call them, I even call them in different Languages; Filipino, Spanish & Japanese. Yorkies are very smart and they learn quick. I was Lucky enough to meet a couple that had Yorkies and they told me that they are capable of learning and remembering up to 250 words, another reason why I was impressed by the Breed. I also believe that
they feel your energy in your Voice and that's what they respond to.
