That's exactly it. Everytime people meet Uni they think she is the mellowest calmest coolest yorkie they've ever seen. I say really? You should go to Petco with me! She's just very exciteable, but she does not nip snarl or bark at ramdom or whatever.
I do believe that on those shows they try to find the worst case scenarios. Most of the time, I think the owners are the source of the problem, not really the dog.
As for yorkies I know in my area, in Uni's playgroup there are mostly tinies (Uni's one of the biggest ones there) and they are all very socialized and playful. BUT I do know a few who are very scared, shy, unsocialized and not very playful.
anyway, I think people that DON'T like yorkies are the ones who started that rumor.
