It depends on the dog not the breed. I have a little 20 month old boy and he is extremely quiet. In fact when he wants something he lets out a "whisper bark" know what I mean? Try barking but it's a whisper. He only barks when someone's at the door until he sees who it is. If he sees it's his uncle Frankie , he will bark until he recognizes him and act like " Oh it just my uncle Fwankie!" The best thing I could tell you if your concerned about getting a yapper... Go in person and spend time with the pup. See how it reacts around their litter mates and around you. You can usually pick the quiet one .Quiet doesn't always mean sick. I'm curious if the people who told you that Yorkies are yappers actually own any?
