The vet tech was surprised when I told her that Zoey fetches the frisbee and puts it on my feet to toss again. She said yorkies were not known for fetching. Tell that to Zoey.
They are very smart and do remember what is told to them so don't tell them a fib. Lol |
That's so cute.
I think your vet tech just doesn't know much about yorkies, Lola fetches and a lot of other yorkies on here do too.

I know they can follow the commands, Gina is proof of that, they just need the training, Yorkies are one of the smartest dogs I've ever come across, and I've seen a lot more people getting Yorkies as service dogs lately, not just therapy, but actual service dogs. The two trainers that have helped me work with Gina, said she was the smartest small dog they met, and that was when she was 10 weeks old, sometimes she is too smart for my own good, and I wouldn't change her for the world.

Good girl Gina! What are you training her to do?
I can see yorkies making great service dogs, they're very into their person, intelligent, and determined.
