| Who is the boss: you or yorkie? I have yorkie (7 months). Looks to me my yorkie love everyone in family equally. I just wonder do they choose who is the boss or love more than other people in the house. How do you recognize it? thanks |

| Some people say that yorkies pick one person that they're really attached to, but my yorkie is not like that at all. It's funny because when we come home from running errands he rushes to greet us and we both get on the floor with him and he runs from my husband to me and back and forth. If either of us gets up from couch, he will follow whoever gets up. If he cuddles with one of us, he will cuddle with the other one next. It's so cute! |

| My baby loves everyone but he knows I'm his MAMI. I'm usually the one who feeds him and wakes him up, puts him to sleep bathes him so i think he realizes Im his Boss. although again he LOVES EVERYONE

| Coco has the biggest attachment to me. Kind of like a baby. If someone holds her, she's really good, but if they hold her for longer than 2-3 minutes, she will look for me and start whimpering. If she sees me she will attempt to jump from their arms to mine. She's REALLLY attached. Its like those babies that try to go back to their mom's when someone else holds them..haha...even on her playdate yesterday, she was having fun but kept looking for me to give me kisses before she went back to play some more. She'll play with anyone and anything but always looks around to make sure I'm there. In short...SHE KNOW'S IM THE BOSS..HEHE

| I feed Chewy, therefore I am his master!!! He follows me everywhere and I love it! When we are sitting on the couch my husband will try to hold him and Chewy just looks at me and tries to jump over to ME. My husband always laughs at me, he calls me The General beacuse I run the house and am the one in charge, but with Chewy I always spoil him and let him do whatever he wants. He thinks I should be as strict with Chewy as I am with them. |

| Katie is VERY attached to me - I think she feels like nothing bad can happen to her when she's with me. I give her extra attention (and protection) because she's just so darn small. If I go too far from her, she whimpers and runs after me. About 2 weeks ago, Jim and I went w/ my parents and sister to a street fair on 7th Avenue in Brooklyn. My mom was holding Katie and my dad was holding Codie - my dogs love their grandparents! Anyway, I stopped to look at a stand selling jewelry and my mom walked ahead of me. Katie apparently lost sight of me and began whimpering and trying to squirm out of my mom's arms. My mom came running back to me and handed Katie to me. Katie was all upset but it only took a few kisses to calm her down. Now Katie LOVES my mom (and dad) to death but she just flips out when she's away from me. Codie, on the other hand, was blocks behind w/ my dad and he didn't care one way or the other. He was totally calm and relaxed. I guess just 2 different personalities. So Katie knows I am the boss (and mama) and Codie does to, he just has a different way of looking at me LOL

| Me...lol, Maximus loves his daddy also, but when I come home or walk in the kitchen he has to follow..he will even try to jump to get to me. Maximus is very friendly and loves to play BUT when when I come home or to his grandma's to pick him up it's liek everything has stopped..and he just wants to snuggle!!!

| In my house... I am the boss. Her Daddy doesn't stick to rules very well...and he tends to give in to her. As a result she behaves much worse for him that she ever does for me. But she loves him more than me. She always prefers to lay on his lap, get way more excited when he comes home, and when we walk her together she trots right along side of him and looks up every few seconds just to make sure that he is still there. If we are both walking her and he pops into a shop for a second to get something (usually water for her) she cries pathetically at the door of the shop until he comes back out. Sigh! I guess I'm just second best. Too bad I'm the one who pays the vet bills, buys all of her toys and food, and makes sure she gets fed on time! |

| My husband is the boss. Chachi is more attached to him. Jewels is more attached to me.

| Brutus loves everyone in my family and anyone that comes into the house but he's kind of leery of people when he's outside. He definitely has a big attachment to me since I feed him, groom him, clean up after him and play with him more than anyone. I guess I'm the Alpha dog! My husband calls him a Mama's boy. He follows me around everywhere! I really would like to socialize him more because I don't want him to only want me and be a shivering mess when he's approached by other people. But I don't get much chance to do that since he HATES the carrier he doesn't get to go places with me.

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | My girls love everyone in the house...they know that I am mommy, as I feed them and bathe them...but the LOVE my mom and dad as well...anytime someone comes home, they run and greet them with lots of kisses...they don't care who is around as long as someone plays with them...Sailor is a little bit more attached to me, but I think that is because she sleeps with me, and Magic loves my mom, as she sleeps with her!!!
