Other people's impression of a Yorkie..
 

I was in line the other day at Petco and this lady picked up a Yorkshire Terrier Magazine and made a comment about how mean they are. And that her friend had one and not only are the Yorkshire mean but yappy. So the man behind her was like yeah he think so too. So she put but the magazine and i step in between them to get the magazine.

I find it kinda funny because prior to getting my first Yorkie (Tootsie) I too had the exact same impression. But look at me now, I now have 4 yorkie and still wanting more...hehe

Just wanted to share this with everyone. hehe

That seems to be the general consensus...I hear that a lot from people when I say I have a yorkie.

Me too. I always thought the breed to be yappy and nasty years ago.
Now look at me. I have a sweet boy who was never yappy and far
from mean. Unless your a big dog who he does not know, then stand back:( We're still working on this. He has come along way but there are times
he forgets. I thought the samething about poodles. I guess I heard
it from someone and just believed it.

hehe i was one of them!

hehe...i guess i associated them being mean from their yappy-ness...i guess they are big dogs in little bodies...and they just want to protect what is theirs...hehe

I think all dogs have the ability to be yappy..it comes down to how you raise them. I was telling hubby I want another dog for my birthday. I might want a maltese..he says aren't those mean yappy dogs?

You can say that out loud ....

My Parents Neighbors owned a Bakery back then and they had 2 Yorkies and they NEVER yapped or seemed mean to us kids ..... doing research online before we got Maya ... I found in every Post that exact saying (yappy and mean) ... strange ....

And by the way EVERY DOG barks here and there ..... :D

hehe that is funny...i never heard that about Maltese...i love them to pieces...hehe...

i too want more Maltese...i have a litter due towards the end of July beginning of August...i can't wait to be surrounded by puppies again..its been long overdue...hehe

hhehe...i guess it all depends on the ones you run into...i had my impression since a little girl...it seem as though every yorkie i came across as a child were yappy...hehe

:eek: .... your going to have Puppys in the house ... ;)

Seriously YOU love to torchere me .... don't cha ???

yes ma'am...hehe...Maltese puppies...hehe...i will post some pictures from my last 2 litter with Kaine and Kandie...they make cute teddy bear face babies...hehe..oOo maybe you should get a Maltese...they are just as precious...hehe

OMG .... stop it with the cuteness .... you are sooooo mean !!!

They are soooo cute ..... no way .....

Mine are yappy and people think they are mean because of it but they are just yappy

hehe...since I only have Kandie...I only have 1 litter a year...so you see it's been long over due...hehe...I can't wait....i see everyone's yorkie have puppies and its driving me nuts...I still have a long ways before I will have my 1st yorkie litter...but I have been breeding Maltese since 1999. Not with Kandie, I had another maltese name Sugar that some stole from my mom's house when i went to Michigan to work for 2 months...and the day I came home which was a week after she was stolen, my niece was outside (she was only 3 or 4 at the time) recognize sugar...so she called out to my dog...and my dog turned and looked at her...so i ran outside and sure enough it was Sugar...so the lady grab sugar and dragged her inside and put down the garage...i ran across the street ringing the doorbell for over 10 minutes no one answers but i seen Sugar's nose through the curtain...my dad came home and seen me and asked what i was doing...i said trying to get back my dog...and he was scared, being that he isn't from America he was afraid i would get sue or something...i said if she don't open this door i may end up in jail for breaking it down...anyways he wouldn't like me call the cops because he was afraid that if I mistakenly accuse her then she could sue me. so the next day i posted a lost dog poster on her front door...and she had the nerve to come over my parents house to tell me she will help look for Sugar...knowing damn well Sugar was in her house...its kinda funny since i heard her daughter tell her you better take her in before they see her...right before i ran over there....people these days...then go figure the move out the next week...

that is why i thought they were mean when i was a child...
