@ Brister. These are things I've experienced! I'm not just an outsider looking in. I've been around Pomeranians & MOST are NON STOP barkers. & that chihuahua thing is not a stereotype! My friend's Chihuahuas were TERRIBLE! ( god rest their souls ) it wasn't because they weren't socialized or anything that's just how they were! They were mother & daughter...but I called them the terrible twins. When I came to her house they would literally follow me while barking, ill sit down & they're still barking or if I got too close to my friend they'll go off. & I've known them for YEARS. This pretty much applies to everyother Chi that I've met. & I'm NOT saying that ALL yorkies are sweet little angels....there's always goin to be a few bad apples in a bunch. Like I said I'm saying this stuff from experience....I TRUTHFULLY only met 1 Yorkie that's was very vocal & snappish & over protective. I GUESS for every bad tempered yorkie there has to be 2 well mannered yorkies to make up for the breed cause like I've said I've only met 1 from a LOT. & I said calm not lazy or a couch potato! Lol. I understand the characteristics of a terrier. I like the fact that yorkies are hyper, I'm a pretty active person myself. So I don't really want a dog that I can out play. If I wanted lazy pet ill just stick with my cat.
