On top of that sixth sense, Yorkie's use their five senses so very well. Tibbe is the most excellent watch dog and I feel so safe that if any strange smell comes on the property or he hears a strange sound, he will alert me. I know when the mail comes from Tibbe's single little yip, even though I cannot hear the mail being put in the box myself - it's just too far away. But he hears it and smells the postman and let's me know. If he starts to growl or bark while lying on the couch in the den at the back of the house, if I am fast enough to go look, I usually see a person walking down the sidewalk either still on the property or just off it - or a group of school-age kids across the street, a man getting out of a car next door, a stray dog walking down the alley - something like that. Add that sixth sense we don't know much about, it really is a smart thing to have a Yorkie - that breed takes very little that is strange or different for granted.
