| Anyone have a quiet yorkie? I am supposed to be getting a yorkie this weekend and am very excited, but also nervous. I am hoping to bring my yorkie out with me as often as possible (work, errands, etc.), but he will need to be quiet in order for us to get away with this People say yorkies have a reputation for being "yappy" and this makes me a bit nervous. Does anyone have a yorkie that's quiet and that they're able to keep with them when out and about? |

| Congrats on your new arrival! Yorkies are such a joy to own! My baby is pretty quiet. I took him everywhere with me for the first several weeks...work, wal mart, mall, etc. Only place he hasn't gone is a restaurant. I think that if they are around a lot of people they get used to that. Mine LOVES people. He thinks all people are there for is to love on him. He only barks when he's scared or wants to play. Have fun with your new baby!!!! |

| Kaba has always been a very quiet pup. By six months, I had only heard her bark maybe twice. She is now 8 months and rarely barks and its a very quiet bark when she does. The best thing to do, is get whatever you are going to use to take her out (carrier, stroller) and start small. Walk around the house giving her treats when she's quiet. Work up to going outside. Small bursts 15 min at a time. Then work up to going to a place that allows dogs and keep giving her treats. Basically, they will learn whatever you teach them. Kaba was going in her carrier at 9 weeks and learned really quickly. Though its been a quite a few months since I've used it and so things might be different now.

| welcome to YT Max was a very quiet puppy and now at a little over a year he is still quiet for the most part. He only barks when someone rings the doorbell, which is good cuz I think I would miss all my packages if he didnt let me know the bell was ringing lol

| Congrats on getting a puppy. I think the more you socialize your puppy the better off you will be. Punkin is almost 3 now and only barks when the doorbell rings or if she hears a different car in the neighbour's driveway. Days and days go by and we don't hear her bark. She does make other noises to communicate with us. She makes a specific noise to go out, another when she needs help jumping up on the spare bed, she happy howls when she is excited about us coming home or playing with her. When we take her places (shopping, walks etc.) she never makes a noise. |

| Welcome! Hot Rod is pretty quiet. I've had him everywhere except a restaurant. We had him for about 1 1/2 mos before we heard him bark and my husband said that he scared himself when he first did it! They were playing around on the floor. Now he only barks when he thinks he sees a "threat" in the sunroom (lots of reflections and birds).

| One quiet Yorkie We take Chibi out often, on the train(quiet Japanese train), in the restaurant, in the store...and he doesn't bark. In general we are very lucky. He barks maybe once or 2 times a day. When he is playing or daddy is going home. So not all Yorkies are yappy. Congrats on your new Yorkie!

Donating YT Addict | My Baby is also pretty quiet. He goes everywhere with me. He may bark when he is excited about going out for a walk but other than that he is very quiet. I do think all their personalities are different so you never know what your going to get but even if your baby barks a bit that's ok...you just can't stay mad at those little faces

| My Oliver is a very quiet one as well...we also took him everywhere when he was little....he got to meet all kinds of people and kids and be in a variety of situations. Socializing is very important. He is not yappy at all....except however if he sees a soccer ball!!!!! He has been to many a game and just wants to play so bad!!! lol! Hopefully little Brooklyn will be the same!! Good luck!

| I have a choc lab that doesnt bark at all maybe twice a day when he wants to go out. Now my yorkiepoo is learning from the lab so she doesnt bark unless my kids get rowdy or the door bell rings. She only will bark a couple of times when these things happen. My dogs are pretty quiet. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Anyone have a quiet yorkie? not in THIS lifetime We're working on it... but I swear what one does - the other has to imitate our worst time for 'barking' is getting dressed for walks - you'd think they were going to Disneyworld....they have to announce it to the WORLD when getting their harnesses on - but once we get outside - they stop. |
