| Different Personalities in Yorkies?????? I have 2 Yorkies.. Dixie ( 1 yr ) and Daisha (7mos) and they are so totally different. Dixie is outgoing, does not meet a stranger, and if she gets scolded, she barks back at me, as if to say, "I'm too cute to get in trouble". Daisha, on the other hand, is very shy and timid, will "hide" from company and if I ever DO scold her (which I hate to do) she acts like she has been beaten - does the whole hanging head, tucking tail bit. She has never been traumatized so I don't know why she acts like this. She plays with Dixie, and Dixie is not rough with her (Daisha is quite a bit smaller than Dixie) but I just feel so sorry for Daisha sometimes, like she is a "victim" of something. She has had no health problems - I guess just like children, they can each have different personalities- --?? Anyone else notice extreme differences in their 4 legged children??? |

| same here - 3 yorkies - 3 distinct personalities! I can't imagine not having anyone of them as they each add something different to our lives! |

| Yes my two are totally different. Chachi is the alpha and always has to have his way. Jewels is more laid back and just goes with the flow. Chachi is a big baby. Where Jewels is cuddly but has an independent streak in her.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Wow, those are some gorgeous Yorkies. I see how you would hate having to scold them. Those sad eyes would kill me.

| I think all yorkies can be extremely sensitive. I don't think it will be especially noticed in some until they are older, though. By the way, your yorkies are so pretty!

| Oh my yes, my two are 6 months apart, both girls, Lacey definitely gives Chloe a time of it, yet she's 3 lbs. Sometimes Chloe, 6 lbs, will just get tired of getting picked on by the younger one and small size or not, she'll retaliate, which really scares me, especially if she goes for the throat, which is so small. However, when it gets too rough, I put the one giving the trouble in time out in her kennel, door closed, and I ignore her for a few minutes. It works, when let out they play well together. I've really had to restrict greenies, those things are fighting territory for my two. |
