Is your yorkie friendly..or not? My friends Yorkie is not friendly at all, she barely acknowledges other people and her heart is only with her owner, my friend. Bailey is super friendly, he loves everyone!!! I was surprised at how very sociable he is! If someone wants to pay attention to him he is all for it:D |
Madison is too friendly. She goes crazy jumping, and barking:D |
My two will give anyone kisses who will accept them. They don't have a mean bone in their bodies. Kinda makes me jealous :( I thought all their kisses were for me! |
Tila is very friendly and happy go lucky. She loves people. She whines when no-one pays attention to her, for example if I take her for a car ride and someone walks by the car she whines when they don't stop and say hello. LOL! |
Sophie is the friendliest dog I ever knew. She loves all people and other animals, too:D |
I don't want to say Jackson is unfriendly by any means, because he's not. He's just shy with strangers. If he doesn't know you, he's not going to run right up to you happily and allow you to pet him! He takes his time but once he knows you, oh my God! He is ALL over you! People like my close friends, grandparents, parents, siblings, etc, he gets sooooo excited to see them! Once he's comfortable around you (which usually means being with a stranger for 1 hour at least), then he will let you pet him, etc. Now with dogs, he LOVES all other dogs, that's another story. He will be more reserved and shy with the bigger dogs at first but after about 60 seconds, he's sooo excited! He's more of a dog dog than a human dog, lol. If that makes sense. Something I also find interesting is that when we're at the dog park, he's a lot more willing to go right up to a stranger and accept a nice petting. It's crazy, it's like he's in his element and feels most comfortable when other dogs are around. |
Mine's very friendly and a happy little guy. My previous one was more shy. |
Armani is extremely social, she is friendly with everyone and she loves, loves, loves attention. |
I find this so interesting, I was under the impression, before I got Bailey that smaller breeds were not as out going and preferred the company of their owners only, I learned differently of course :p |
Both of mine are so friendly sometimes it's embarrassing. If they're out and someone doesn't give them attention they do everything they can to get noticed. I guess they somehow have the idea the world revolves around them. I wonder how THAT happened?:D |
Remy is very friendly, although he clearly has some sort of "people radar". Any known person is a best friend. Strangers are either readily accepted, or looked at somewhat skeptically, and he is standoffish until he is comfortable. Still have not figured out what his "decision making criteria" are, but he clearly has some :) |
My Lolli is a strange one. She growls and barks at anyone who passes by the back porch, or comes in the door. But she walks right up and wags her tail at the same time. If anyone were to stop and chat with us or to pet her, she stops growling and barking immediately and just soaks that attention right up! |
Mine cannot get too much attention. But I have met yorkies that are very standoffish. |
Piper is very friendly and sociable. She lets people pet her and gets excited over the attention she receives but she won't let strangers pick her up. I noticed she is a little skittish around children. She did have an incident over the summer when a small child ran up to her as I was walking by. He tried to pick her up and she got very scared, so I immediately scooped her up. Then the child grabbed her foot and was pulling her leg because he wanted her. I finally got the child to let go of her leg and Piper almost climbed up onto my head she was so frightened. The whole time I'm thinking where is your mother? Somebody has to own this kid. The mother finally noticed that her child was being obnoxious and came to my rescue. I inderstand why she doesn't really like small children to touch her. She doesn't growl but she will try to get away if they lunge towards her. |
Daisy is friendly, but on the shy side. When we are out she will let people pet her, but doesn't get all excited unless she knows them well. When she growls, she is just talking or wants something. She makes all kinds of funny noises for various things! |
Piper loves everyone. |
Fergie has to stop and say hi to EVERYONE that passes us. She is so friendly she will just come up and curl up in your lap. She loves everyone |
Zeus is a social butterfly! He will greet anyone who looks his way. I often tell people he is running for Mayor!:D |
Tessa is very friendly but because she is tiny when people rush up to her I will immediantly pick her up... People just don't realize that they can be overbearing. SHe loves attention but is a little more nervous around little children bur will let them pet her if they are calm. Princess is my paralyed little girl and she is toted around in a bag and she is pretty friendly also, but maybe because she feels secure in her bag. |
Buster is shy, even my vet describes him as a shy boy. He will let strangers pet him but on his terms. He does not like to be picked up by anyone but me. He will yelp really loud and wiggle like crazy if anyone tries to pick him up. Maggie is very friendly, she will let strangers pet her and pick her up. Neither of them like children. Kids tend to want to pet them too rough or try to lift them up too high. I don't let kids pick them up. If they want to hold them they have to be sitting on the ground or floor and then Buster does not like it. |
OMGosh! Ted is the most awesome dog that I have ever encountered. He is SO playful, lovable, sweet, and outgoing that everyone wants a dog "just like Ted." Lola on the otherhand, is just as sweet, but a bit more reserved, and less of a "show off" than Ted...LOL! (The pups are just like their daddy, Ted, so far... VERY outgoing, lovable, and playful!!!) |
Although Sophie is always very excited to see us when we pick her from grooming, etc. sometimes I think she would go home with anyone. When our kids visit she would rather sit with them, and she will run up to anyone and give them kisses. The only time she is not friendly is when I am holding her and a man approaches me. Then she becomes protective.:) |
My Yorkies are VERY sweet but I socialize them a lot. We have lots of friends with dogs and also Tucket's brother and sister. |
Rio is a social butterfly and wants to greet and kiss every single person in sight. Makes me worry sometimes, 'cause she would probably go home with any stranger she meets! |
Yogi loves everyone he wants to go and greet people walking on the street (thank you fence!) he loves everyone and wants to just give them kisses especially kids |

He is wary around strangers, but warms up after a while. However, with dogs, he is a social butterfly! |
Rocky is very friendly, likes people and dogs. He was traumatized when a group of kids came at him with their hands outstretched and is sometimes leary of kids now. :( Too bad, he used to love kids and wag his tail to want to meet them before that group of kids ran at him! He likes the little kids more than the 6-9 year olds. |
When Gunnar sees someone he tugs at the leash and wants to go say hi. :dogwalk: I\'d call that friendly! No-one has tried to pick him up yet, so I don\'t know how he will react to that. I\'ve handed him off to a few people and he did fine. I think I have a social butterfly on my hands.:D Donna |
Jax is very friendly. He\'s all about anyone that will pay attention to him. Even when you\'re not paying attention to him he is still jumping around you and pawing at your feet for attention. Maybe its because he\'s still a puppy but I wouldn\'t mind him staying that way.. he is a really people pup. :rolleyes: We had a Bichon Frise when I was younger that didn\'t like anyone he didn\'t see on a regular basis and even some people he was use to he just didn\'t like. He ended up biting one of the neighbor boys, chasing down the paper boy and he bit me about 6 times before my family said enough was enough and we had to give him up. It was heartbreaking. :( |
