I think Pablo is going to be my Alpha because he is such a little protector too.

All three of mine are like that but Maggie barks more often in the house. Mica barks in the yard and seriously thinks she's a guard dog. Lindi's only nine months and doesn't bark alot yet. From what I know about yorkies they may be small but part of their characteristics are that they are natural guard dogs.

chester is not a big barker, but certain things the newspaper being delivered at my neighbors place, he goes flying off the bed and I tell him its okay and he comes back to bed. He will lay between me and the noise to protect me, especially if Im at a motel or something. Nothing will get by a yorkie they are very alert

Bella is a little protector also. We had some really windy days, and it would blow the front door and it sounded like someone was coming in, and she started barking and running towards the door and then back into the livingroom...or when shes outside she will see kids or other dogs and she barks all brave and then runs as fast as she can up on the porch...LOL

She has also gotten to where she can tell whether or not its us or someone else coming to the door. She doesnt bark at us when we approach the door, she just goes nuts when we get in, but when we get company she knows they are there before they ring the door bell.

Our little Harley is our protector!!! He is so cute. I really think yorkies think they are big dogs!!!!!!

LOL, I took Nikko out for his morning pee the other day at the beginning of a big windstorm (we live kinda in the wild west/desert). It was his, and our, first windstorm out here. We walked back in the house, and I kept the door cracked for him like I normally do, since he likes to slip in and out during the day.

A few minutes later he raced out the door and then raced back in, barking his head off. As it turns out, a humongous prickly 4ftx4ftx6ft tumbleweed had blown up over our 5ft tall fence and into our yard!!! "INTRUDER ALERT!!!! Gigantic dead bush has penetrated the perimeter!!! Make it go away mommy!!!!" It was kindof cool though... I'd never seen a tumbleweed up close in real life before. :-)

Jackson's like that!! He's not a terrible barker during the day or anything but if he's sleeping - and someone opens my bedroom door or something he's "AR AR AR AR AR" SO loud and obnoxious! lol. After he realizes it's someone he knows, he chills out. But it's so funny yet scary because he wakes me up so startled.

Achilles doesn't bark a whole lot either however he nearly attacked my mom one night when she came to visit. My mom was in my room and Achilles and i were asleep on the couch. Apparently my mom woke up to get something to drink and Achilles let out the most ferocious bark i had ever heard. My mom and i both had to calm him down cause he was going off....

Guess he forgot mom was staying with us and thought she was a robber!

Buddy is the same way. He barks his face off. We have one of those doggy doors that attach to your sliding glass door, and he will shoot outside when the neighbors come home. We have to call him back into the house. We are trying to train him to be less aggressive that way. When people come to the door, we are trying to clearly make it our territory, and get him to lay on the couch quietly. I think they are just little tough dogs that want to protect us. Sometimes when Buddy is really tough, he will kick his back legs like a Bull. It is hilarious!
