What kind of personality does your Yorkie have? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mizzwanned · 10-29-2009, 05:44 PM

Well...
Teddy is a happy go lucky boy. He is always happy, always has energy, always wants to be where you are. He is very hyper...the first one up in the morning. He cracks us up all the time, he is just so silly. He is very sweet also and likes to make sure everyone is happy.

London is a lap baby. She likes to be in your lap, she loves to be warm, under the covers. She gets what she wants when she wants it

She will demand things....if she wants your food she will let you know, if she wants you to pick her up she will tell you. She has this face she puts when she's annoyed like she's the Queen B. She's also very sweet and loves to be loved. She's not submissive...she thinks she is big even though she is the smallest and is the one in charge. lol She used to be more independent i thought, but now she likes to be with me or my mom all the time.

He has to sit on my lap when i am sitting or I have to hold him in my arms when I am walking around. Needless to say I don't get alot done because of him.lol. If I have to leave him with my DH at home (I'm never gone long, anyways) my hubby says he will cry the whole time and he will sit on the back of our couch and watch for me out the window. I take him to play with other yorkies and he could care less, he just wants mommy to pick him up and hold him. I call him my Love Bug. He is such a cuddler. When I take a shower he has to be right there watching me and if I don't let him he will cry and cry and scratch the door until I do.lol. Oh, and he is very submisive, when I take him for a walk and another dog comes up on him he automatically will lay on his back so they can smell him.lol. I could go on and on about him.lol
Then I have his half sister and she is totally opposite. She is a bully. When she sees her brother playing with a toy, she will go over there a take it from him and go and put it whereever she is at. Her brother will go over there and she will put it in her mouth and growl daring him to take it. And he will look at me or hubby and start crying, like please mommy give that back to me. She is only 2 pounds while my male is almost 9 pounds. But she puts him in his place. She is the boss of everything!!!!! She is a licker. She loves to lick your face. Anybody she sees she will just go nuts and just lick them like crazy. While her brother is very leary of people. She is very vocal and outgoing. She will bark and growl while her brother hardly ever growls or bark. Ok, enough, I know tooooo long. I just love them sooooo much, and love to talk about them both.

OMG im cracking up cause your little girl sounds JUST like London. She is 3 lbs..Teddy is 8 and she is the ruler of the house. She takes stuff from him all the time and like yours dares him to take it back and he already knows what happens..do he doesn't even try anymore. He just looks at me like 'help'. But if anything he's not scared, he's goofy so he will just go do something else instead. If he is eating and she wants what he has she goes up to his plate and steals his food. Even if she isn't hungry-she just will guard it and not let him eat it. That's where i step in and tell her 'London you have to share' lol

Yep, they sound alot alike. BJ was eating his bully stick today ( I give them both bully sticks) his sister comes over and tries to steal his and he will take off running and he wants us to pick him up real fast so sis won't get him. It's so funny. He seems to be very intimidated of her. But if she does get it, he will start crying and crying looking at my husband or me wanting us to get his bully stick back.lol.

mjharpst · 10-29-2009, 08:15 PM

What a fun thread!

Roxie is my oldest and my only girl. She is such a good girl but very dominant and needy when it comes to me or my hubby. Her heart beats for my husband! She also is my sickly girl, she is so needy she can literally work herself up easily. She is very smart and wants to please us at all times! But everything is on her terms- if she wants her belly scratched, eat, and go outside.

Ryder is my sweet, lover boy! His world revolves around me and he does everything to make his momma happy. He follows me around and cant wait to sit and cuddle with me. He doesnt care what I do to him as long as hes with me. What a good boy he is. He is very submissive to his sister and takes all his brothers rough housing but can also entertain himself by chewing on a bone or toy.

Prince is my newest baby and fits right in. He wants to be in the middle of all the action at all times. If its sleeping hes on top of both Roxie and Ryder, if its playing hes attacking from the outside, if its eating hes squeezing into the middle. He is such a good boy and a lover when he is sleepy he loves to be held and loved but cant wait to get back to Roxie and Ryder.

Sharly4 · 10-29-2009, 08:32 PM

Everyones boys sound so much alike! So CLINGY! Boys seem to be on the quiet side and girls seem to be a bit more vocal and bossy! The girls to me have a bit more difference in personality and less dependant on moms. Boys are a bit more mom get that. They want everything handed to them! I just love and adore how clingy and needy Sebastian is! I wish I would have gotten Yorkies in the first place instead of my Chi's. Nothing against Chi's but they're not as people friendly or family friendly.

Chrisann · 10-30-2009, 07:52 AM

Hi well Dustie nearly 8 mon ths old is very independant...more so than any of the other yorkies I have had. He loves his crate..no problem there...goes in when he wants...he sleeps through all night.no worried at all...hardly barks or makes a sound except when he needs to...loves to play...and go walks.

I have set a routine for him as I work from home...He follows me around when I do any chores..usually with his toys as well...When I sit down at the comp..he jumps up on a squashy cushion and settles down..cause he knows his mummy will be working...Evenings he seems to get a bit excited really...and a bit feisty sometimes...He still likes to have a go at fingers etc. I am working on that one...I call it his mad 10 mins.. He loves to come and sit on my knee for a cuddle too..but he is one that has a mind of his own..he won't be forced..

Still being independent has its good side...My last wee Sammie got too dependent on us really...he always was...

But they all different aren't they...

Sushi21 · 10-30-2009, 09:33 AM

My girls say Sushi is sassy. LOL but hes the best......loving playful. Don't know what we did without him

Sweetlips6 · 10-30-2009, 06:46 PM

Bonnie is sweet and very independant. She will let us love on her when she wants. But she will play ALL day. She is a little tomboy, wants to run in the cow pasture and play with a dog 10x her size. She likes DH better than me

even though I am the one that takes 100% care of her. She loves to lick and love all over my 21 yr old DS.

She wants to sleep under my bed and not in any cozy little nest I make for her. She will not let me cover her up or make over her in any way. She will sit on the couch with me, but 2 feet away.
But at the same time, she will guard the shower the whole time I am in there, and when I am making dinner she will sit on my feet. When I am eating supper, she is asleep under my chair.

She is a very good girl with her potty training, and RUNS to tell me she went potty. I need to go right away and clean it up and give her a treat

. She is happy all the time, no whining except if I ask her if she is hungry. She is so sweet, and the daughter I always wanted

drabinowitz43 · 10-31-2009, 05:40 AM

Sadie is my feisty, independent tomboy. No dressing pretty for this one. She chases birds and squirrels, guards the roost and bosses around her brothers. She's affectionate, but only on her terms. Outside, she is submissive and rolls on her back for every dog she sees. Inside, she likes to torture Joey by taking every toy and jumping out at him from dark corners (lol, she really does this). She is definitely the most vocal. I am pretty much her sole caretaker, but when my fiancee comes over, she wants nothing to do with me. Jumps on his lap and covers his face with kisses. We laugh because I will call her over to my lap and she will give me a half hearted lick and return to smooching him. I think she prefers men.

Joey is my lovebug and the most happy go lucky and playful boy I know. He loves his toys (when Sadie isn't looking) and piles them under the coffee table where she can't reach him. He is a momma's boy and follows me everywhere and would happily sit on my lap all day. But he also loves the whole family. Outside he barks like crazy when he sees other dogs and it's so funny to watch him growl at huge dogs since he is only 3.5 pounds. He's been through so much illness, but he is always happy and so affectionate. He's the man!

Nicky is my recent rescue dog and he is still very quiet and scared. He only has eyes for me and wants to be in my arms 24/7. When I'm not holding him, he sits and waits in front of me, whether I am cooking, doing laundry or talking to someone. He will not let anyone else touch him and he wants no part of his brother and sister. Joey licks his face all over and Nicky growls, but has never tried to bite him. He was clearly abused and he flinches if I move too quickly and will howl like he's been hurt. He has lots of nightmares when he's sleeping. It breaks my heart. I know underneath all of the fear and mistrust, there is the sweetest little boy inside. He has no reason to like humans, he's had little experience with kind ones. He sleeps up against me at night and I love him like crazy.

MyPann · 11-01-2009, 07:16 PM

Pann is almost three mounths old and he is a mommy's boy where ever i go he goes if i go to the bathroom he cries outside the door! He is a lover and always wants to make you happy loves little kids and loves to play. He is my world!

wemple2 · 11-01-2009, 07:54 PM

What can I say about Winston, he's our life, our love and he knows it. He's very smart, understands almost everything we say, even if we spell it...LOL...He has to be on me or be touching me while we sleep. He loves his toys, but doesn't destroy them, absolutely loves to play ball/fetch with daddy. He gets so excited when we come home, but he's a good boy while we're gone, never gets into things he shouldn't, has never chewed on things or made a mess . His little licker has to go and go and go...kisses galore, which we adore. He loves to run and play outside, but can be a snob to strangers...he's not mean at all, but he'll totally ignore people he doesn't know, he'll go out of his way to avoid them. He's our boy and we're so proud to call him ours.

hargraves05 · 11-02-2009, 03:52 PM

I think that it is so funny that all dogs have a different personality and ATTITUDE...LOL...My Dixie is loves to sit in my lap and when im not sitting she is usually up my butt. I got on to her for potting in my floor one day and she was so mad she would not sit in my lap or even give me sugars for a long time. When I mean sugars she actually gives me sugars but want give anyone else in the family sugars, I say sugars and she licks my lips. SO CUTE...I have never been so close to a four legged creature like I have my Dixie....Just today I let her out to go potty and I had to get my next door neighbor (who by chance has a male yorkie) to help me find her. We walked down my road and all around my house to find her I was on the vurge of crying....My cousin drove up into my driveway and my Dixie had gotten into my vehicle and was ready to leave LOL.....She is her own!!!!

Britster · 11-02-2009, 04:15 PM

Jackson is like half independent/half dependent... he's not a real lovebug during the day, but during the mornings and nights, oh my gosh, he is a snuggler with his mama! Or I'm sitting in the couch watching TV, he will jump up and just lay as close as he can to me. If I'm in a room, and he can see me but can't get to me, separation anxiety mucho, LOL - he will whine and bark until he can be with me. Yet if I'm in the room, he acts like he wants nothing to do with me. Psh, all lies. He loves loves loves all other dogs and would spend 24/7 at the dog park if he could! He's very shy with people he does not know and doesn't let you just reach down and pet him but if he knows you it's a different story... he will give you a BIG greeting, filled w/ kisses, jumps and everything above. He's SO smart... almost too smart for his own good

He enjoys performing his tricks for anyone and everyone unless he's really really distracted but he will almost do anything for a treat. He's pretty well behaved except for a few things like food begging. He's very laidback at home and is happy to just chill, however put him outside at a dog park or something, he's very very active and will run for 2 hours! He's pretty much always been trustworthy in the house when we're not here so from about 6 months on, he's had almost free reign minus the upstairs. Sometimes, if he is bored he will just stare at me, or come and bring me a toy. He's spoiled but he's not a brat and that's what I aimed for! He's the best dog I could have asked for.

BRINKS N ANGELA · 11-02-2009, 07:37 PM

Brinks is almost a year I got him when he was 3mo. He is definitely a lover not a fighter! I haven’t even heard a growl come out of him EVER. He has never bit anyone nor does he ever show any signs of irritation even when my niece is pulling his hair. He whines when he wants something and only barks when he gets scared. Brinks follows me EVERYWHERE!!! If he knows where I am and he can’t be next to me he stands there and cries. I think he is extremely clingy and loving.
