[YorkieMomNYC]

Of course, not all generalizations apply to all dogs. I can only speak from my experience.

My female Yorkie, that I grew up with as a child, only barked when someone was at the door or when a stranger entered the home.

My current male Yorkie is basically a mute, and hardly ever barks inside. However, he does bark when outside on walks.

My advice would be to look into a good breeder that not only breeds for health, but temperament.

Good luck.

But I'm not sure of their barking nature. I have read many books about the yorkie breed. I'm not sure if I understand correctly that yorkies bark alot. Do they bark all day? Or once in a while? Is their barking loud enough for a neighbor to hear it from her apartment?

I really appreciate any info and advice. Thank you
