Be real on a scale 1-10 how hard is it taking care of a yorkie with 10 being the hardestt |
For Ellie it would be about a 7 both medically and behaviorally. She is not an easy dog to take care of by any means. |

Squirt a 1, Gus a 7, but Gus is worth it. |
Depends on the day but Roxie is pretty easy since she doesn't have any health issues so I'd say a 2. |
A 9 until they are potty trained! LOL We are still in the potty training mode, so it is intense keeping up with her so that we can praise and reward the good potty behavior. We are also trying to teach her not to try to jump on the bird cages, run out the door when opened, chew our shoes, steal items left on her level etc. :rolleyes: She is 199% worth every effort that we have to go to in order to train her though. She is wonderful and words can not describe how much we love her and enjoy her.:) |
I don't know that you can rate it on average, b/c what happens if you get a sick baby (but you don't know it at the time) well then you're in for a lot more work than you bargained for.... I think it's more situational... ;) |
A 2 normally (if I don't count the extra care needed from recent surgeries). I only say a 2 because of the grooming responsibilities. |
Samson is 1 (he has an old soul and is just a lovebug) Harley is 7 or 8 (he is my spirited furbaby) Both are worth it though. |
My experience: 1st 6 mos with all the potty training and vet trips, wellness check ups, spaying, adjustment to house rules, etc. = 9 7 mos forward (due to having to get up at 5:30 every a.m.) = 2 My Bailey is now 2 years old = was certainly worth the first 6 mos of 9! |
Lily is deffinately a 1 :) but Mia is still young she's about a 7 :p |
Tae an 8 (he is older and has gone deaf recently and is more demanding) Peppy a 9 (deaf and blind with various health issues but so lovable...so maybe he should be a 6) Franklin a 2 (young and pretty well trained) Quinn a 3 (has MVD and requires medications and special diet) so I think it depends on the pup and their needs.... but they all turn to a 1 when I come home from being out and they are there to greet me :-) Nothing like a Yorkie (or two, or three or four.....) waiting for you at the door... |
I would say Oscar started off 1 9, but since being neutered and calming down a little bit, he's somewhere between a 6 and a 7. I would call him "high-spirited," but then again he is only 20 months old, and he is very stubborn. That, of course, goes away the second he cuddles up next to me! |
1 or 2, they're no harder than any other inside dog.:) |
Gucci is honestly about a 7 ... But all the love and joy he brings me and our household really makes it come out to about a 1 and that 1 is for th grooming otherwise I would say 0 because it doesn't bother me to take care of him at all... he is such a ray of sunshine for this house.. I will say this ... It is a BIG RESPONSIBILITY Owning a Toy breed dog, especially a Yorkie. So many of them have health issues and then so many are so small that they have to be watched even more than an average sized one. Not just watched so they don't get hurt, but watched to make sure they eat right and on time etc. If you are ready to take that on, owning and caring for a Yorkie will be a breeze in no time ;) |
