| Does your Yorkie bark too much? I have set up a new POLL QUESTION - please check it out - am interested to see if our Yorkies live up to their reputations as yappy, barking dogs.............. Thanx |

| I wouldn't call Buster yappy, but he definitely is vocal. He'll bark when he hears the garage door open, when he really really wants you to play fetch with him, or when there's a lot of commotion outside. It's only very rarely obnoxious. One thing I've noticed: he's only vocal inside our house. In public, he never, ever barks. |

| Samson has the yappy bark when he hears someone at the front door or a strange noice in the house (yesterday he was growling at the thunder, we live in AZ and hardly get any rain where I live so this was a new noice). I would say he isn't the sterotype yorkie when it comes to barking. Harley is very young, only 11 weeks old so I don't think he has found his voice yet. When he does I believe he will be the yappy dog. He is already very vocal when he plays, sleeps, walking around the house. He just makes these sad whinning noices or is expressive when he plays.

| Mine just bark when they see someone at the door or sometimes when they see something outside. They rarely bark in public though

| Jackson barks quite a bit, I guess you could say. Not ALL the time. I don't know, he's really not THAT bad but certain times really irritate me and I'm trying to train him to lessen the barking somehow... when he's begging for food, he will sit under your feet and just bark up at you. And he has that high pitched bark, it's awful, sometimes he scares me cuz it comes out of nowhere, lol. The minute I leave the room, he barks. At my dad's house, he has a fence with a huge yard and his dog Lily who Jackson loves, and the minute I'm on the other side of the fence, he barks nonstop. i'm kinda looking for a solution right now, lol.

| Guess Wookie is like the others posted here. He barks when stimulated. He sits on the back of a chair by the window and barks when things go by, people, cars, birds, a leaf!! He will bark when he hears sounds around the house that are unusual or if he gets woke up at night by something. AND he has started this habit (and it is my fault) of barking at me when he wants me to get in the floor and play with him. But he doesn't bark when we are in public or for no reason.

| Biggie occasionally barks when playing with us but generally he only barks when he need sto alert us (someone at door, hears a car door on driveway, strange noise at night, etc.) For the longest time we were concerned when he was a pup because he would not bark at all. He really did not start until he was close to 5 months or so. |

| Buddy was a late barker not barking until he was around 5months. I thought how lucky was I. That didn't last long. I had to start training him with pennies in a can. Evenutally he learned to bark only when someone knocked on our door or a strange dog outside. He will growl lowly at other times but does not bark. He never barks out doors on walks. With training you can teach them not to bark at just anything. Time and patience will correct that. |
