He never barks at other dogs, he just runs to me to be picked up. I sometimes think that he is very atypical of a yorkie's personality. I believe that the big boys have taught him in some way to be respectful of other, bigger,dogs. When they bark at another dog or a noise, he runs to me. His half brother, who lives with my mom, is just like the yorkie personality that I read about. He, though, is an only child, with just my mom. |
I don't think it is a matter of 'respect,' but I do think your Yorkie has the benefit of being well socialized with bigger dogs. That is really a plus. I wish that I knew some big dogs and their owners I could trust to work with my dogs.
My barker started at about age 6 months. Hopefully you will get lucky with Sherlock.
