female yorkies tempermet What are female yorkies temperment after they have had a litter? We have been told they sometimes get aggressive, is this true? |
Agressive? Well I guess "protective" would be a better word, but yes, the "Mommy instinct" comes out, and she'll be more aware of all her surroundings. She may get upset if someone comes over and looks at the puppies, or she may start barking at the neighbors that get "too close" to her house/yard/territory. I wouldn't really say it's agression though, she just wants to keep her babies safe. After the babies get older, she will be back to her old self again. |
my Bella became more loving and snuggly after her first litter! |
all of my girls are sweeties and stayed that way. They were protective of the babies but they are supposed to be. |
Cora is great with her puppy but I have noticed that she is way more dependant on me, she used to be much more outgoing with strangers and now she really doesnt want to go near anyone. |
Babsy is always aware of her surroundings and will bark when startled but even when she & her pups were in the whelping box she was just very watchful and attentive but never aggressive. She isn't even aggressive with Gizmo who is at the "I just learned I have boy parts so I am going to try to hump Babsy every second of the day even though she isn't in heat" stage. |
