| Do Yorkies really smile? lol I adopted a rescue yorkie in September to keep my other guy company. She is much larger than Oscar (will be 2 years old soon!!) and she just turned one year. In any case, she has this habit of showing her teeth. A friend of mine said "she's smiling". I don't believe dogs smile. I think it is a defense response and nothing more. Any opinions?? |

| Yorkies definitely smile. Missy smiles all the time! There have been threads posted about this before. You may want to do a search so that you can check out the pics of all our smiling babies

| Raindrop loves to play Peek-a-boo and she always smiles when we play. Other times when I get her excited, she will too. It's a real smile.

| Thanks everyone. Had no idea that dogs smile. She happens to smile when she's excited...like when she sees me when i come home from work....i thought she could have had dental problems. Oscar, the resident dog, doesn't smile, but he is the most loving little doggie ever! so affectionate. the girl doesn't like to be coddled! |

| Yorkies really do smile! Our Yorkie, Cindarella, smiles at the drop of the hat...When she's happy, when we come home everyday, when she meets anyone, on and on. We have smiling conversations all the time with each other and it seems that sometimes she's trying to say something but can't. She has even learned that smiling gets her more attention and sometimes a treat! The happier she is the bigger the smile! The little heart thief! |

| I think Yogi smiled today. I was getting ready to take him for his morning walk and he waiting for me to put my shoes on. I looked at him and said to myself "Is he smiling?". I do believe he was... |

| Oh my Lhasa, and Yorkie both smile. Baxter (the yorkie) does it all the time, expecially if you ask him if he wants one of his special treats. He will come running with a smile on his face. Go to my album there is a picture of him doing it.

| Most definately Two of mine smile. I love it when they do, but my nephew thinks that Maisy is snarling at him because when she smiles then she kinda crinkles her nose and then blows out her nose. It almost is like a really quiet sneeze. But she and Missy definatley smile. They will even do it on demand. I love it!!

| Yorkie smiles - When do they start? I have a rescue puppy. She's 16 weeks. Her mama smiled. I wonder if any of you remember when your yorkie started?? I'm just curious. Sandy Lemire says the yorkie smile is in some lines. Any opinions on that?? Judith & Brooke Lynn
