Do yorkies tend to be "yappy" Hi everybody! As you may have seen in my first post the other day, I am trying to convince my mother to let me get a yorkie as I am returning home to help her out around the house since my father passed away. Anywho, one of her concerns is that "small dogs tend to be yappy" although I think that's a bit of a myth, and it's more of a matter of training, temperament, etc. I'm just wondering if you have noticed if yorkies tend to be yappy and if they're easy to correct (and also, if your little furbaby was/is barky, how do/did you correct it?)? Thanks again for your advice! D- |

Mine never makes a peep. :) |
Mine only barks when he is protecting us. Welcome to YT |
Mine only barks when he wants or needs something, he usually never makes a peep....Unless you ignore him..... |
I have friends with other small breeds and they are not different than the Yorkie. Some are very quiet and some bark at unfamilar sounds. Personally I love having one that barks if someone is at the door or she hears some strange noise. |
MINE ONLY BARKS AT THE GOODBYE VOICE WHEN SIGNING OFF AOL..LOL:rolleyes: |

Koda doesn't yip/yap for no reason. If he hears someone coming up one of our porches or a car door in our drive he will be sure to let me know. Which living out in the country I like the forwarning. It's creepy out here sometimes, lol! Also we will "talk" to each other, but his talking is different than barking. It's really cute to hear ;) Also when Daddy comes home he goes crazy cause he is so happy to see him :wub: So all in all He has his reasons for yip yapping and I know all of his different tones and what they mean.:thumbup: BTW Koda is only 8mos, so if you train them from the right and wrong with it everything works out pretty good :D |

3 of mine never barked. Cali only when she thinks someone is at the door. My Pom barks constantly for no reason and when she starts up, Pixie barks too. Pixie's bark is high pitched and yappy. |
I have one that's essentially mute. She rarely barks. We are always surprised to hear her when she does bark. Scout on the other hand barks enough for them both...but he really only barks for good reasons(as far as dogs are concerned) like people at the door or strange noises. |
Mine never barks unless someone rings the doorbell or if someone is working around the plants behind my back patio. Other than that she is very quiet. |
My Gracie is not yappy at all. The only time she barks is when someone comes to the door, if she hears a strange noise, or if she is playing with one of the cats. |
