Personality

[AvyQuinn]

Hiro-san is a free spirit and gets distracted whenever a leaf flutters off a tree or a neighbourhood dog barks. If I ever let him lose I'm sure he'd run wherever his little feeties would take him! He is highly inquisitive to the point if he doesn't want to move from a spot he's sniffing it's like trying to move a donkey. Sometimes he likes to sass me and growl or bark because I refuse to let him get out of line, but it's all for show! He knows I'm the boss and even though he sometimes acts like a real boy and shuns my kisses when someone is looking, he's a real momma's boy when I've got him alone.

Walker is independent and dorky. He will come when called, but never close enough to get a hand on him. He sleeps calmly in bed with me but attacks the husband with licking and nibbling. He is always into something and LOVES people. He fights the leash continuously unless he's biting it two inches in front of him then he growls and walks with me like he's walking himself. He's a hellion spends more time trying to eat me then cuddle with me, but i wouldn't trade him for the world.

Thank you for sharing your stories! It was fun reading them!

Izze is a very good girl. She likes to do the right thing... she loves being very huggie during the day... when she does something she comes for hugs.
She has gotten very bossy. She yells at me when I'm not paying attention (if i'm on the computer) or if she is hungry...and it's funny to watch. She takes her eating very seriously.
She also has a boyfriend next door. He's an 80lb britney. My little 4lber and him bark at each other and give kissies...sometimes he pretends to stalk her and she'll shriek and hide behind my legs...then run up on the deck and bark from there lol
She is also very stubborn. She likes things HER way...and like someone said, this is specially true when she is around a taurus. My mom is a taurus and they love each other so much (she's Izze's person)---and she refuses to listen to my mom. it's so funny.
Well, I've only had her this year---but I can't imagine life without her. I feel blessed. And all your yorkie stories really make me want another.
I love stubborn dogs.

Also---is this normal? She only likes sleeping in the living room. She refuses to sleep on my bed. She'll cuddle with me if I sleep with her on the couch...but she jumps off my bed?

I don't have a Yorkie, but the one I might adopt I will talk about. I love his happy spirit, and how sweet he is. I love how he wants to learn and follows my directions. I love how he loves everyone and every dog. The one thing I wish he did more was cuddle (he does like to be held). Maybe it is because I don't know him that well, but he never seems to want to just sleep on my lap.

He is soooooo sweet though. He knows I will only pick him up if he sits calmly next to me. He knows he is not aloud on furniture unless I pick him up and put him there. He has been gone for two weeks since I was not going to adopt him, but they have lowered the adoption fee so I am having another trial (and caring for him until I or some one else adopts him because they don't have time).

My mom and I have sisters from the same litter. They live in separate homes, but my mom and I work together so they see each other at work every day and sometimes on weekends. Playmates for life! They couldn't be more different! Hahaha! One looks like the mom, but has her dad's timid personality and the other looks like her dad, but is a big ball of energy and kisses like her mom! They are almost 5 months now.

Strawberry is a little brat! Hehe! She is outgoing and needs attention a lot more than her sister, Peachu! She demands to sit on me and will display her tummy when she wants a rub and will put a chew in my hand when she wants me to hold it so she can chew it. She is allowed to sleep with me in the morning after I let her out of her own bed, but only for 2 hours and then she wakes me up by kissing me relentlessly! :P Brat! Haha. So cute and bouncy and loves everyone. She will preform for anyone who asks her even if they don't give treats. She wants to be with me all the time and causes a a bit of a stink when she can't be (ex...at work. We are still working at learning to keep a low profile when I am with clients). Strawb is sure a smart little baby. She learns fast...but she has an attitude so she chooses to play games with me sometimes which is cute, but kind of annoying too! Haha! Nothing seems to scare her too much. She even tried to play with the 30 pound cat outside the other day and the big cat got scared and ran away! Hahaha! Oh dear! She is outgoing and lovable!

Peachu lives with my mom...but she is timid and has a softer side. She took longer to housetrain because she was afraid of her own shadow it seemed! She is a little less whinny than Strawb and is just as playful when the moment it right! Peachu is content to be on her own, but will lay next to you (compared to Strawberry who will push her way onto your lap if you want her there or not)! Peachu is very gentle and will cuddle when you hold her and not wiggle too much. She greets everyone, but when she has sniffed them all over she is done with them and would rather find a quiet place to be. And Peachu doesn't work for free...she won't do tricks with out treats! She is quiet and clever.

Twinkle is very feisty and confident and she's not afraid of anything, I think she's a bit of a tomboy - she's not keen on bows or clothes and is happiest going on long walks or running around with the kids...also she's only barked about twice since we've had herI'm not sure how much of this personality and how much is puppy (she's almost 6 months) and I guess the only thing I kind of wish sometimes is that she would be more of a cuddler - she settles down really well in the evening and lays on the sofa or the rug, but she doesn't like to be on your lap all that much. It will be interesting to see if she changes as she gets older. xxx xxx

Chase hasn't met a person or dog he doesn't love. He loves meeting new people and is pretty independent, adventurous, and happy-go-lucky. Everyone's comment to us is that he looks like such a happy puppy . He loves to be in on the action and follows my boyfriend and I everywhere. There's definitely a mischievous and cheeky side to him. Clever boy was a very quick learner with the tricks, but was difficult to potty train. For all his independence and bravado, he runs to mommy for protection if the bigger dogs play too rough. The BEST part is all of the cuddles, hugs, kisses that he gives freely... an unconditional lover!

Maggie seems to go off and sleep on the floor after a while of sleeping on the couch with Hot Rod and me. She will even choose the floor over a pillow/bed (as we have 7 of them in the family room alone). Neither sleep with us in our bed.

Toby is full of energy, loves everyone he meets, and is definitely my dog unless he hears the word "no", then he becomes Daddy's boy (to teach me a lesson, I guess) lol
He is fully housetrained, and has never chewed anything that he wasn't supposed too, I think his 145 toys all over the floor helped with the chewing. He is a very smart little thing, and will quickly learn new tricks if he is in the mood.
He adores little kids, and will let them pet him and give them kisses. He has two issues that we are working on though, he ignores small dogs when on his walks, but has no fear of larger dogs and makes a big scene when he sees them. They could easily make a snack of him with one bite. He is also an eyelid licker (ewwww) when he wants someone to wake up. We love the little furball to pieces though, even with Little Dog Syndrome and icky wake-up habits.
