They do best with older, considerate children. Yorkies are easy to train, although they can sometimes be stubborn. The breed is demanding and dependant and needs a lot of human attention. The Yorkie is an excellent watchdog, defending its territory in no uncertain manner. They can get snappish if surprised, frightened or over-teased, but are usually very sweet and loving. They can be difficult to housebreak. These little dogs should not be over-protected, for they may become neurotic. The Yorkie likes to bark, but it can easily be taught not to do so.

This is what I had read about them also. So I was terrified of treating my boy as a toy breed. Anyone else..heard this?

i am sure others have read or heard about the breed...but like me...i would have never thought i would fall in love with the breed...hehe

I read all about Yorkies and a few other breeds before I got Maverick. But I guess it's a good thing I looked on YT first. I knew by reading all of your posts that Yorkies were awesome dogs. I did hear some bad things to though and that's just sad. My Maverick is NOT yappy at all. He only barks occasionally and he's only mean to the cat!! It's a sad stereotype if you ask me.

Hi y'all,
My Lil Puppy Girl "Roufianna" is both yappy and nasty. She is the scourge of the squirrel population and a master of the oriental art of Karatchie (bitting the genitals of those that don't pet her). Her forte is first to hamstring an opponent (as this is all she can reach) then to do the genitalia thingy after they helplessly fall, usually face down to the ground, thus bringing them to complete submission.

AS for the nasty, yappy, Yorkie, well ummmm that is a matter of personal opinion. I know they can get that way if they are not properly socialized. However, and dog can be like that too. Yorkie's are know to be pampered though, and extremely protective of their owners. You just got to have one, to know what they are all about.

My parents Pom. was a yappy dog, and also very naughty. Any toy breeds are more vocal and have the hearts of a lion.
