| Give him time and believe me, he'll bark. Bailey didn't bark for the first two weeks and he was 9 months old when we got him. I was beginning to think something was wrong with him but now he's made up for lost time.

| Enjoy the quiet, and don't encourage him lol...I got Apple @ 11 1/2 weeks old, and she didn't bark for about a month, and then it was a tiny little growly bark...very cute I think, like babies, they have to find their voice...She didn't start barking at the door-bell, 'till she was about 7 or 8 months old, now she barks at a doorbell sound on the t.v.!! I sure would worry about it....I feel blessed, that Apple isn't an incessant barker...I don't think I could handle it... |

| ENJOY it! lol. But, I guarantee it won't last, and you'll be wishing he stayed quiet. Jackson never barked either for the first few weeks. He's still not an overly obsessive barker, thank God, so maybe you'll have a quiet Yorkie!

| You didn't say how old your baby is. My Daisy Mae didn't bark for months and we brought her home at 14 wks....but now oh brother, now I am trying to train her to stop when she doesn't need to be barking! Funny story.... I had Daisy for about a month and took her on her first road trip at Thanksgiving time. I told my Brother...."She's the best puppy...she doesn't bark!" Now my Husband and Brother tease me whenever she goes into her crazy non-stop barking. lol Your baby is fine! ~Kathy

Donating YT 500 Club Member | You didn't say how old he is, so assuming you have a young pup. If so, that's why you aren't hearing any barking. He hasn't really learned how yet. Enjoy the peace while you've got it. If he's a normal yorkie, he will be a wonderful watchdog. Just has to grow up yet & learn the ways of the world. He preoccupied with being a baby & doing baby things. It's odd how we get pups & expect them to just know all the big dog stuff. Have done the same thing at times myself. Enjoy his puppyhood while it lasts. It's over soooo quickly. Good luck! Welcome to YT!

| Yes, count you blessings... Shayna is more then making up for the quiet days, she's in her first heat and won't stop barking at any noise, of anything that moves. I wish she had a mute button about now... Enjoy |
