Yorkies are very territorial and somewhat possessive when it comes to the one they love & are attached to other members in the yorkies family They protect, guard, and will love you unconditionaly!
My little 5 lbs. 13 year old was mean from the time we brought her home. I remember the breeder making the comment that she wasn't going to use Sadie's dad anymore because he had a bad temperment. ( which should of made me think...but I wanted a yorkie so bad ... they were hard to find, and of course she was so cute) We had 4 teenagers at the time so probably didn't help Sadie's mood . She is the meanest little thing but she can be sweet too. She has mellowed out ALOT in her old age....she still growls but rather than try to attack she hides. Sometimes her grouchieness can be almost comical. We've always taken her camping and what chair Sadie picks No-one takes it away and sometimes it isn't our chairs!!!! When she's gone we'll miss her...she's definiately been intertaining.
