I think as far as "snapping" at children, it all depends on the dog. Breyli has been around all different types of people- big, small, round, thin, hairy etc. and she is good with everyone. She just want to jump up and give kisses.

I loved the segment......it was fair when compared to the info on the other breeds featured..... I look at this show every week......and they do a great representation of the breeds featured each week spending around the same amountof time on each breed.

... it just seemed lacking to me.

My husband whom I made wait for 45minutes to watch it with me.. was like, "That's it? This is what you have been waiting for?"... and the comment about kids... umm I have heard many people say that they can be snappy but My Alfie has always been Excellent!!!

Okay i just wasnt sure about the kid thing ive just never seen them do it....LOL Yeah i did feel disappointed as well as they did rush it...but maybe there was another half of it but it was on the lady and they could have been flooded with complaints before airing and had to cut it quickly! Not sure! Guess we will never know ...LOL

If you were referring to Jilli the yorkie playing poker here is a clip of her and her owner. Pretty much the game they showed her playing and then they showed her at a modeling shoot. Thats all they really did. Hope this is what you were referring to.

I watched it too and to my delight they featured both of the breeds I have. One westie and one yorkie. i thought they did a better job with the info on the westie (except mine is absolutely great with kids). I dont think they were on target with the health of a westie tho. Westies are notorious for their allergies,skin probs, and pancreatitis. Thank God mine is pretty healthy! My yorkie is a honker too...LOL

Triss has never snapped. In fact, she LOVES kids.

She is best buds with my six year old son. She wakes him up every morning and is always sitting on his lap.

Yeah see thats they only type of behavior i have seen yorkies do so i wasnt sure if they were something that was false of if it truly happens. Because even people i dont know that have yorkies ive never seen them snap at children.

I liked this episode, as they featured both the Yorkie and Shih Tzu. We have both! Mine have never snapped at children. I always thought Yorkies weren't good with families with very small children, as the children may carry them and then possibly drop them. That's why we didn't get ours until my children were older.

I guess we can hope that they do an episode some day with the top 5 dogs or something... isn't the Yorkie number 2?? LOL

Number One to us though... of course!!

I think it portrayed them more like celebrities than the loyal, comedic and most of all loving dogs that they are. My girls have NEVER snapped at a child. They love children, even little toddlers. I attribute that to socializing them with young children when they were little puppies. I think they brought out some good points but did not give a thorough description. They did not mention that Yorkies, like many toy breeds, are prone to Luxating Patella and the tiny ones can have issues with hypoglycemia. They said they are easy to train but did not mention how difficult they can be to POTTY TRAIN.
