| I have 3 yorkies and they only bark if they hear a noise but then they stop. I have A Sibarain Husky that is 8 and he's the one that gets my yorkies going. He hears the noise first. He jumps up to the window and them my yorkies start to bark. otherwise there quiet. good luck |

♥ Mama's Boy ♥ Donating Member | Tobie really doesn't bark alot unless someone is at the door or when he wants you to know that its time to play. But I was at this pet thing over the weekend and there was a cute little yorkie there that barked and barked and barked none stop. I think it just depends.

| My boys are pretty vocal. My Fletcher is really vocal with my boyfriend. He'll follow him around and when bf looks at him he'll bark and bark at him! Its like he's talking to him. My Dexter barks at noises, sometimes its just one or two barks and sometimes he'll join Fletcher in barking with NO clue what hes barking at. They will bark at ANYTHING that dares to move outside, including falling leaves. But if all is quiet and calm they are quiet and calm. I guess thats typical!

| My three yorks are ferocious barkers , they'll bark at a fly going by and it's very difficult to get them to stop, now my Shih Tzu is an angel and he'll only bark once or twice if someone comes to the door and then he just goes back to his business very satisfied that he's done his job. Now if only the other three would learn from him

| Addie hardly ever barks, I guess I'm lucky. She only barks when she's sleepy or sleeping and hears a noise that she thinks isn't normal and it's only a quick bark (one or two). The only other time is when she's not getting her way and gets mad...she mostly growls at this time but every once in a while she'll bark once. By the way...she almost ALWAYS gets her way...SPOILED ROTTEN!!!

| I had to get in on this thread. Scooter, for the most part, is not much of a barker but when he goes out into the back yard he races as fast as he can so he can beat his "sister" Bitsy and he never, never, never fails to bark as he's running. We have a neighbor who is very crabby and she gets all twisted around when a dog barks so I'm out there saying shh and shaking the shaker can (he's afraid of it). He also absolutely hates the sand cranes who fly over the house. He will bark like crazy while running with his head up looking at the birds flying overhead. For those of you who have never seen a sand crane, it is one big bird. They are over 3 feet tall and are really loud. Luckily they are not aggressive so Scoots is in no danger from them but boy does he hate them.

Donating YT Addict | Tyke may be considered barking alot. Mostly he barks when the doorbell rings or someone knocks. He barks when we're playing and he barks when someone comes in the door ( that's if he's in the bedroom and he can't see) so he could be an alerter too.....lol which i'm glad i don't have to worry about somone driving up or coming in the house and me not know. So his barking doesn't bother me. we have to tone him down sometimes, but it's probably according to the dog too.

| Ben rarely ever barks. The only time he barks is when he is playing with his daddy and he growls with him. Other than he is pretty much a scaredy cat and when ever someones comes to the door he goes and hides, lol.

| I think it's territorial with Winston, he barks to alert us of a noise or something out of the ordinary at home or in the yard. But take this same barking dog away from his own territory, and you will never hear a peep from him...not at other dogs, people, cars, noises...nothing. A lot of people we meet thinks he has no voice...but I know better, I've heard it way to many times. He's actually kind of a snob or anti-social away from home....completely a different dog.

| Rocco NEVER barked unless we played ring-around-the-rosie with the girls. Now since we have moved here and there are dogs next door to us he barks more. He goes outside and pees on the fence where the neighbors dog is and starts barking, which gets the other dog to barking, which gets me to barking at them both! lol. Normal though he doesn't bark much at all. He is nice and quite for the most part. (the way I like it) |

| My Yorkie is one years old, and he does not bark a lot. He usually only barks when he plays with my other dog. Sometimes, he barks when he hears weird sounds. |

| AprilLove really didn't let out much of a bark until she was about 5 months old. Then she explored her ability for a few months, lol She's over 3 now and rarely barks except when she wants (demands) something from me She will also bark at the others when they are playing, but that is about the only times she barks.
