| some of my friends & family think mine bark a lot. I don't think they do. They bark when someone walks by my house pretty close. Its annoying bc its a frenzied barking. Everytime they do it, I say "NO BARKING!" and they stop so they have gotten better and sometimes they will even watch a person walk by and not bark at all. I was strict with my boys because in the first year I had them I got written up twice for their barking by my condo association, so I stopped letting them bark at all, now they bark occassionally but nothing major. Yorkies have exceptional hearing so they will bark when they hear something and it might be something you didnt even hear!

| Yes, mine barks all the time. Some people's Yorkies don't bark much. If you are getting a Yorkie, plan on it barking.

| In our case, It would be False....Neither of my boys bark alot.....They will bark at the doorbell or knocking....But that is about it.....So I guess we are just very fortunate....Sorry..... My mother has a Min Pin that is a true Yapper.....They have spray bottle and will spritz him w/ water when he gets going.....It seems to be helping...Granted they have only been doing it for about a week or so???? Good Luck Joyce

| Belle does sometimes (even moreso when in heat) but a firm "Belle, No Bark" seems to work for us...we've tried lots of things and that's what's worked the best thus far...

| Chloe doesn't bark a lot at all. So, I would say False in my case. She only barks when we play tough with her and she senses someone outside..... |

| My babies bark when there are strangers around, or when I try to talk on the phone.... I don't mind thoooo, cause if I am alone in the house I want to have the comfort of them telling me there is something around..... and to be carefull

| Lil Miss Izzie doesn't bark much at all....so false in my case also. The most she ever barks is if she senses someone outside also.
