Barkless spinning Yorkies! Has anyone heard of spinning barkless Yorkies??? When i was @ the Vet yesterday i was talking to a woman who was telling me one of her friends has 2 spinning barkless Yorkies,i say are you sure they are Yorkies oh yes says she :animal-sm :eek: This doesnt sit right with me! so i am checking with all of you guys :aimeeyork |
That sounds odd.. Maybe that was her description of them??? I have 1 Sweet Jumping Yorkie (Missy) and one Panting Licking Yorkie (Max) :p |
Thats the wierdest thing I have ever heard of. :confused: |
I am totally lost! I thought I had heard it all, but this one takes the cake! |
spinners Well...you know I do have one..not really a barker, but a spinner. You see for some reason Shorty was a spinner. When I got his son Whiz, Shorty stopped and Whiz took over. Honestly, ask Whispermom. Vets said you see it in kennel dogs who live in small cages...these two never saw cages. In fact Whispersmom raised Whiz in her home until he was a year..he spun from a few months old. I noticed Shorty starting to spin at 6 months. They always do it when they are excited...in the yard it is the funniest sight...they would run a few steps and spin around, run and spin..Shorty is now 8 yrs with no health problems so it cannot be serious..it is their "happy" dance as we call it...and sometimes Whiz gets so excited when a girl visits, he will bark and spin around. |
Okay... i didnt get the "spinning" part. I met a retired Ch. Papillon and that is what she did. I bet it was bc she was in a small kennel when she was traveling.... Hmmmmm. |

Missy doesnt bark when she is excited but she will jump up on her back legs and does a little dance type thing, I dont think its spinning though :confused: I'll have to pay closer attention to what exactly she is doing when I get home from work tonight ;) |
My westie spins but it is because i taught her to! lol |
Pat's boy Shorty and his son, were the funniest boys together. They kept each other company and they were the spinning Yorkies. Maybe we should have named them dradle 1 and Dradle 2.. Whiz's mom was a periodic spinner too, but that was only when I went to the back door and used the "potty" words. She would knock your feet out from under you. Whiz's mom was her sister but she didn't spin. When the boys were outside at Pat's, they would run a few steps, stop and spin and continue that til they made me dizzy.. That is not a different kind of Yorkie though. To me, it is just a behavior like jumping to be noticed, etc.. These boys might not bark when they spin but Whizzer had a mouth,,And they have all 4 feet on the floor when they start. They don't do it while standing on their back legs.. |
Thanks for sharing your story with us, sounds like they spin when excited.. How cute!! |
spinners If Rini and I didn't believe in .."what goes around, comes around'..we could have made alot of money off.."rare spinning Yorkies,$5000 " some poor fool would have fallen for it. |
I asked my vet about that once because I saw Coco do that one time. She didn't do it again but I was curious so I asked her vet. He said it could happen in dogs kept in kennels or cages, it could just be a puppy silliness thing or more seriously, it could be a neurological issue. I don't want to worry anyone but just offering my vets advice. He told me if they don't grow out of it by 8-9 months, that it should get checked. Im sure it's nothing though and I bet it's cute to watch. :p |

Sounds to me like perhaps the Yorkie's vocal cords were cut, so they spin around in circles to get the owner' attention. |
hmm i dont think i've ever seen a spinning dog. |

I was just talking to Lisa about the spinning yorkies and she said she saw an episode of it on the Dog Whisperer once that had a spinning dog.. The episode will re-air July 1st at 8:30 PM. Don't know which time zone that is for though. It also airs at 11:30 PM. It is the Ava and Gus episode. So for anyone who is interested in learning more about the spinning dogs, tune in ;) http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ch...ily/daily.html |
I have seen the Dog Whisperer mentioned before. What is it and where is it on cable TV? Or is it a PT and more local? Thanx, Rini |
I've never watched the Dog Whisperer but have been wanting to. Tara watches it and said its great! Hopefully Tara will see this post and give us some more info ;) I am gonna contact my cable company today to ask them what chanel National Geographic is on. I have so many chanels I don't know what I get or dont get. Hopefully I can catch this episode :thumbup: |
Rini- The Dog Whisperer is Cesar Milan and he is amazing with dogs that have some kind of behavioral issues... Its really cool bc he says that he has to train the Owner and rehab the Dog, bc when dogs have behavior problems its bc of something that the human has done to instill or promote the behavior. It is beyond belief the issues that he has solved on the show. Its really helped me with Tino & Bunny and walking them on the leash and also how to deal with Tino bc he gets upset when I am leaving for work in the morning. Even though mine don't have behavior problems, I still always learn something abt how to communicate with them in a productive and healthy way. It comes on the Nat'l Geographic Channel and its usually on at 6-7pm and again from 11pm-12am (East Coast time). Most weekdays. You will have to watch. They actually had a yorkie breeder on there one time! |
Thank you so very much for the info. Now, I will look and see if we have that channel in our plan.. |
The strange things is..since we moved and Shorty stayed with my friend in MD..Whiz doesn't spin much anymore..I think they got each other wind up and they couldn't stop..it was like the two I had, who barked at each other. |

Gioia and Kellie have never been in cages but the spin when they are excited, so funny to see them . |
spinning Well..according to the Dog Whisper, my boys are spoiled, indulged, lack discipline and exercise. I am a very bad mother!!! LOL I do take Whiz out in the stroller and do not walk him...but he is barely 3 pounds and just running around the house is alot of excerise...I dread telling him he has to walk on the lead from now on..no more rides in the stroller. He is not going to be happy about this at all. |
I know when Schatzie gets real excited she will run a few steps then turn around....But Im not sure if actually call it "spinning" Now Yorkierose, Schatzie sounds like your two boys, as quoted, "spoiled, indulged, lack discipline and exercise. I am a very bad mother!!! LOL" But I always say...."Schatzie's so very happy being this way!!" :p |
Mia doesn't spin but I sometimes call her Ninja Yorkie. When she gets to playing and trying to get Bentley to chase her she runs at him and does this swing and half circle at him where her rear end hits him...then the chase is on. Looks just like a Ninja move. |
