Hubby heard him 'try' to whine once, but it came out kinda funny and he quit then barked a few times.

He was brought up with lots of other yorkies till he was 17 weeks old, so I'm really puzzled as to why he can't make these noises. I guess I shouldn't complain. (Hubby says Topher is so spoiled that he's never had the need to whine ...lol)

Anyone else have a yorkie who makes 'very few' noises?
My very first Yorkie never whined either. He would get that look in his eye and bark at me when he wanted something. There wasn't anything wrong with him and he lived to just over 12 years unfortunately it was cancer that took him but nothing to do with his inability to whine.
