Is your yorkie friendly to strangers?

Crystal loves both people and dogs and in 11 yrs I never heard a growl.
This morning I had some people in for coffee from my floor. One of the
women is a bit crabby and hates dogs but she is sick and I didn't want
to leave her out. When everyone came in and sat down Crystal as
always went to them and sat in front until they said "hello crystal" and
then she put her two front paws up on the cushion of their seat and
kiss their hand. She made the rounds and then she went to this
woman I was speaking about and sat and sat in front of her. I went in
the kitchen and I heard this loud rough voice say "WHY DOES THIS DOG
KEEP LOOKING AT ME??" and someone said "For heavens sake she just
wants you to say hello" At that point I was back and in a voice nearly
screaming she said "HELLO" Crystal walks away just wagging that little
tail as if I did my job. Isn't it wonderful how they love and do not judge!!

Hefner is by far THE most social dog I have ever had! He absolutely loves all people and other dogs and he seems to able to snese what each one needs him to act like. With some who are more timid he will be calm and lay his ears down and even roll over. With others he will jump up with arms in the air and just go for it.!

It cracks me up when he plays with my standard poddle because he has to run really fast and then duck or cower out of the way so he deosn't get trampled. He seems to know exactly when to react and how to react. He will approach any other dog no matter the size but he is submissive and lets them know he is very friendly.

I would say he likes dogs better because we can be approached by both and he will give the human a few seconds but the dog gets the most attention.

Fagan is almost 5 months old and loves stangers...even children. We go for walks and when we come upon other people he runs right up to them and is all over them for attention! I'm glad he likes people and especially kids because we have a million kids in the n eighborhood who love to play in the backyard with him. I think we are lucky he is so social.

That's so funny! It's true. They love everyone. They aren't biased at all! They give everyone a chance...

I forgot to mention that Gucci shys away from dogs too. She hides behind me when another dog gets too close. I wish she was more social.
