What is Your Yorkie's Personality like?

[mizzwanned]

Are they calm, hyper, sweet, nervous? Are they super attached to you, do they bark? Please tell me about your babies

Here's mine: Teddy is really happy and hyper, always on the get go. He always wants to be where we are. If either of us go to the bathroom he is right behind us, will even wait for me while I take a shower. If we want to go to the store he will run out the door first. He barks when the doorbell rings and comes to get us. When we come home he jumps up and down until he give him love and he smiles with his teeth. If either of us are crying he will lick our faces until we feel better He hates being alone, loves being the center of attention. He thinks that every stranger wants to say hi to him. If I am petting London he will push my hand towards him. But he is also laid back and super friendly. He never bites, just growls if another dog is bothering him. At the dog park he loves to smell other hineys but if a dog follows him too much he gets mad He is so sneaky and too smart for words. He hates carriers, loves walking instead. Doesn't mind clothes but hates belly bands, altho he has to wear them cause he marks. He is adventurous and that can be a problem in a big city like this.

London: We always joke that she is more like a cat. lol She is super chill and laid back. Loves to be scratched and carried. Loves to go places in her carrier, loves other dogs. Hates wearing clothes but doesn't mind shirts as much, is a tomboy i guess. She is the smallest yet she is the boss in the house. She is a little independent when she wants to be but will come barking when she wants to be up on the couch or bed with us. She gets excerise everyday by humping her furry stuffed friends She likes to be the first to eat and she looooves being in the grass. She sleeps a lot but then gets spurts of energy and signals when she wants to play. She is friendly but certainly not a push over, after all she did get in a fight with a 25 lb pug when he growled at her, and she is only 3 lbs. She is coragious and too brave for her little body. Oh and when we give her kisses she turns her head but will give us kisses on her terms only

And lastly Sophie who is over the rainbow: She was the 'perfect' child. She was not as social, clung to me and my bf but more to me Little by little she came out of her shell and surprised us everyday. On our walks she would bark up a storm at big dogs like she was gonna do something but as soon as they approached her she'd come running behind me She would scratch at my leg all the time to pick her up. She'd always want to be with me, sleep with me, eat with me. She'd bark at the door when it rang along with Teddy and as soon as i got out the elevator to come home i would hear her barking. She would jump up on her tiny feet until i let her kiss me hello. She was always energetic, always happy, loved to run in circles at the park but run right back to me. And she always listened. Oh and she loved to chase birds, never caught one, but certainly did scare them She also loved clothes! She was just a big bundle of love. Now let's hear about yours!!

Where do I start?! lol

Chloe is a lot like Sophie...she's SUPER attached to her Mommy & Daddy and loves to snuggle. She's sassy and not afraid to let you know it, but she is also the biggest little "bundle of love" as you put it. She's my little shadow. Mommy can't move without Chloe and if I forget the rule, she'll let me know loud & clear If we've been gone and then we come home she runs up on the arm of the loveseat and looks us dead in the eye shaking her little booty and whining until we pick her up. She HATES being alone. Sometimes she loves other people and sometimes she hates other people, but she LOVES my Dad. She's obsessed with her Grandpa. If Mommy's holding her NO ONE (well, except Dad & Grandpa) can come near her, though. She is very protective of me.

She loves other doggies, but has a really mean Mom who only lets her play with little furbabies (not as popular in my area unfortunately). She is the smartest furbutt I've ever seen. She LOVES clothes. When Momma gets an outfit she goes BANANAS. Then I go sit down to put them on her and she comes up, plops her butt on my lap, and sticks her head out for me She doesn't really like carriers, wants Mommy to carry her instead but she does love her sling. She LOVES car rides and is just like a skinbaby...as soon as you turn on the car she's out for the count.

I just love her to pieces. She's spoiled rotten and she knows it!

[yorkie mad]

If I had to sum Tia up I would say she is a very confident , content little girl.

She loves her cuddles with mummy but also loves cuddles from anyone that is willing to give them.She will say hello to ANY size dog and anybody , anywhere.

She has never growled at anyone or other dogs.

She is easy to feed, was easy to potty train (within 3 wks) and is content when I leave her for work.

She LOVES to be groomed and walks a fair distance, and when she doesn't she will quite happily jump into her bag for a rest.

She loves life and we love her.
She fits perfectly into our life and I hope us into hers.

I love reading about their personalities!!! I'm getting Delilah this afternoon and can't wait to learn about hers!! I really hope she's like Sophie and Chloe. They sound like exactly the little personality I want!!

[ARCHIE]

Buddy is a character and always amazes me with his ability to make me
laugh. He's bossy, nosey and demanding. He's smart as a whip and
loves learning new things. "Find It" is our most recent and he just loves
being released and told to "Find It" and he never fails wherever I hide
a piece of kibble he Find's It and races back to me for more.
Buddy has been a joy these past 5yrs but has kept me on
my toes and one step ahead of him at all times. He would love to be
Alpha but that ain't happening any time soon He finally has become
the neighborhood social pup, get's along with most dog's and I never
thought that would happen. Training, training and more training.
Look at me turning into Lady Ceasar I thought he was an exception
for a Yorkie with all his quirks but finding YT I find out he's just
a Yorkie You just gotta love them.

[JoeyP]

Haha .... I have two and they have two totally different personalities

Zach is the over achiever, If he was human Id swear hed be wearing a suit and tie everday
He follows me around all day
and if I say anything he makes note of it
He likes to do things but he sometimes gets over stressed ... and I have to calm him down
He will cry to be picked up if we go on long walks ..... def Type A

My Mike is totally opposite
He Loves to play
He loves to be payed attention to and be held
and Loves to sleep
Hes like my little gen EX slacker dude

Laci reminds me of my skin daughters, spoiled rotton but loves her mama, she is very high maintanence , she loves to be played with all the time, she whines if I dont pay enough attention to her, she loves everybody, she doesnt really bark , noises dont bother her probally because I have alot of people comming and going , she loves hugs and kisses and is a total mamas girl , just like my skin daughters.. people actually laugh and say Oh my she is just like Samantha( my 13 year old) I couldnt have asked for a better disposition on a puppy. When she meets new people she like crawls over , rolls over and wants her belly rubbed, Its kind of funny

I have had many dogs through the years and Piper is the most affectionate dog I've ever owned. She LOVES everyone and is willing to give anybody kisses. She is a year old and has never growled or showed teeth, no aggression at all. The only time she barks is when the door bell rings. We go on long 3 mile walks every day at the beach and greets every dog no matter how large or small, and every human with such happiness, LIFE is GREAT is her motto. I just love this little girl!

Jackson is very demanding! If he wants something, he will let you know. He loves loves
loves to play with other dogs, it's his favorite thing in the world. He is so laid back most
of the time & enjoys just sitting on the stairs outside and enjoying the breeze or looking
out the window. He's pretty obedient and learned all the tricks I taught SO fast!!! Potty
training wasn't that big of a deal, he picked up pretty fast. He's only 6 months old still
so he has some more growing up to do, but I feel very lucky and blessed to have such
a good pup! He never really went through much of the puppy stages, hardly chewed,
etc. He's independent, yet needy at the same time. He will get up on bed and cuddle
with me but at the same time he likes to sleep on the floor and do his own thing. But
when I leave the room, if he is gated off from me, he will bark and want to be near
me. He's a food mongrel and a beggar! That boy will do anything for food. He's a very
happy dog and loves nothing more than to play with other dogs!

[FlDebra]

Ben is an enigma! He is so sweet and loving in the evening as he curls up on the chaise with me. He wants my undivided attention when he is ready for it. Since we lost Sadie, he has been more attentive and loving than before. So, here he is the most adorable little guy ever and then ....
WHAM!
He is a monster! None of the other dogs are allowed to play with toys -- they are all his. If he hears a squeak from a toy in another room he is instantly alert and runs to retake what he feels is his alone. He also likes to go out the door first, in first, treats first -- everything first. He rules all of the older and bigger dogs, without question. Who am I kidding -- he rules us all!

He loves children. I really think he believes they are toys brought over for him to play with. He gets so excited and hyper but then just as they reach out he is a little leery and pulls away. He likes all people after having a time to get to know them. He has not been fond of the puppies and I think he is very jealous of the attention they get.

He is a barker at unknown noises, cats, and squirrels or when overly excited during play, but not bad. He loves being coo'd to and petted softly. He will let you rub his ears or belly forever and when you do stop he puts his head under your hand and lifts to get you going again. He likes to position himself between us and the TV and whimper for attention if we are watching a movie or longer show. It is pitiful.

In short Ben is all about Ben. And I would not trade him for a million bucks!

Aww that was Sophie's motto too, she just loved life! You could always tell just by taking a walk with her, the way she smelled and ran thru the grass, it was just great. I hope i get to have another Yorkie like her some day.

LOL...I always say that Winston is a stuckup snob. He loves us but totally ignores anyone else...he will go out of his way to avoid other people or animals. A social butterfly he is not. He is very protective of his family, home and yard. But while out in public he is a totally different dog...you will not hear a peep out of him. I think he gets that from me or learned that from me...I am not exactly the most social person either. I guess we're perfect for each other and all we need is each other...

[Mom2TwoYorkies]

Let's see . . .

Brody - he's my submissive one . . .doesn't like confrontation . . will go out of his way to avoid it . . he's the pushover, has the "I didn't do it" look in his eyes . . .you can easily make him feel guilty . . . He's very intelligent, knows exactly what I'm saying, knows my kids' by their ringtones when they call me, loves car rides, going for walks, having his belly rubbed . . .he HATES clothing . . .he'll actually stay in one place if you dare to place a piece of clothing on him . . .he wouldn't move for hours until you took it off . . .he's my food beggar . . .and knows what he wants . . .he gives the sweetest kisses and when he comes up and sits with me on the couch he'll look up at me . . and you can just see the love he has in his eyes . . .

Rhianna Belle - she's the fiesty, bossy one . . .its her way or the highway, if she could talk, she definitely would tell you off . . . She is the attention stealer, the kiss monger, always has to be first out the door for walks . . .she's my shadow, my little lady, snuggle buddy, heater . . .when I get home she acts like she hasn't seen me in about a month . . .she literally screams with delight . . .she wants and demands your full attention at all times . . .she only has eyes for me . . .and I love that!
