I was SO heartbroken over the loss of Chopper, my love brought me home a surprise 3 years ago. a 1 lb. baby boy, Axl Rose. I love him SO much. Yorkies have a personality like no other. They are smart, and stubborn, and fiesty! Axl does the same thing. We have a doggie door out into an enclosed doggie area with fake grass (we have other dogs too). He knows how to go. He knows where to go. He just "doesn't feel like it", and will go in the house when there is never a reason he can't go where he should.
Axl will be 4 soon. He's recently become very "pack leader-ish". When we all walk, he bites the other's leashes and pulls them. And he'll even bite his own leash and pull himself by walking backwards. He will sit, spin, sit up, and the most loveable boy ever. He keeps the girls in check, waiting for them all to run out the door first, and then chases them. They are twice his size & they put up with all of it. He's protective & when my husband and I play, or kiss, he barks & gets right in the middle of us, licking both of us. I read here someone said, they have that face, and they get away with alot. I'm in love with a 7 lb. sweet, loving, punk!
Welcome to Yorkie Talk and thank you so much for sharing your story. I am sorry you lost Chipper but I am glad your have Axl and the others to give you so much love and joy. Lol, yorkies can be very stubborn when it comes to potty training and not just the boys. Girls can be just as bad at times. We love them all anyway.
