| Ozzy shakes a lot too. He does it mainly when he is wearing his sweater, in his crate (?) and when he has his belly band on. I don't think too much of it. |

| Buster shakes like when he's wet. I hate it when he does this in the middle of the night. His tags rattle and then it starts - shake, rattle and roll. That will keep me up for a while....

| I think it is just a yorkie trait. It is funny at dog shows, an exhibitor can brush their yorkie out really pretty before putting him on the floor and moving him for the judge. It never fails that as soon as the yorkie starts to move they will have to stop and shake. Its like they feel they have to fix their hair the way they like it. Another cute yorkie trait is the yorkie stretch. My Dixie will bark at me to pick her up but so many times she will just back up and do this silly body stretch before stepping forward to be picked up. I am sitting there there thinking, 'okay, anytime you are ready' Last edited by bjh; 11-20-2009 at 09:31 AM. |

| The body shaking is a form of stress relief.

But, one of my fellow exhibitors is a canine bahaviorists. She was great to listen to and helped me with training my dogs for the ring. Taught me a lot about canine behavior.
