Are yorkies one-person dogs?

[swilson0053]

My cocoa loves everybody but will go to the kids a few seconds but then she will practically jump out of their arms to get back to me. She loves them but knows who gives her the most care it hurts their feelings sometimes but i try to explain just look how haopy she is to see you when u havent been here all day she loves u but knows her momma just like u do.

Avery loves to visit other people, but after he's seen everyone, he will come back to me. I think it has to do with comfort issues and the fact that they know you're the one who either gives him/her the most attention, feeds, bathes, walks, etc. Avery will only sit with my dad if I'm busy cooking or moving around and he doesn't want to. They are funny little creatures!

Now, my mom is a different story. Whenever we visit, she's known to give in the most and always chooses her over me.

I totally agree
Proof is when we all come in the door
Our dogs do the happy dance, but they know who their mommy is!

Same here

[My baby Milo]

Milo loves me better. Lol. He will get out of their lap and get with me when I come and sit down. They are so jealous.

Georgie was my boy for 2 1/2 years and then I got pregnant (as if Daddy had nothing to do with that LOL). He has since become a Daddy's boy. While he still follows me and cuddles with me Daddy is who he wants to be with most of the time. I am ok with it since my husband loves Georgie just as much as Georgie loves him

We have a bunch dogs between my friend and I. The Shih Tzus are my babies especially Oliver. Bassil has his moments and our Yorkie Zach can go either way. He doesn't care who holds him he shows equal love. Zoe, our Shorkie used to be attached to my friend because when I frist got her I had an accident and I was in the hospital for 3 weeks. Now she'll go either way,

[tinyterroriers]

My girls like daddy to feed them in the morning and to take them out for last call at night. I'm home alone with them during the day, so they don't have much choice!

Neither one of them are lap sitters. They just get too hot. Jilly likes to be with me -- she doesn't like to let me out of her sight. Scooter comes out for food or if someone comes to the door.

Scooter is a closet dog. Her best friend was a Yorkie we had when we got her. Her name was Roxy. Rox was stung by a bee and died. We were all distraught, but Scooter really never got over the loss. I try to be extra loving to her when she comes out of the closet, usually for food or treats. I'm very sad for her, and I really don't know what to do to make her happy. I thought Jilly would be a friend for her, but they HATE each other!

My in-laws breed Yorkies and their male is definately a one person dog....bonded to father-in-law and no one else. The other 3 Yorkies (females) all love everyone, no matter.....so I think it is just up to the individual dog too. Our little female yorkie puppy will go to anyone just wiggling all over the place, seems bold and sure of herself and because he father is one person dog we have went extra mile to introduce her to other people and dogs.......she loves all so far!

Harlie is definitely daddy's girl. She follows me everywhere I go and is right by my side no matter what I'm doing. If I'm outside, she will sit at the door and whine until someone lets her out to me. If I'm hanging out with my buds in the court, she's right there with me.

She loves her mommy too, let there be no doubt, but when I'm home, I'm it. She seems to be spooky smart and I think she likes it when I teach her words. She knows the difference in a screwdriver a pair of pliers, a hammer, etc. My wife really doesn't work with her like that and maybe that's the reason. I love her like one of my kids...spoiled rotten little bugger that she is .

CoCo is def Mama's baby, but she loves her some daddy! She will bark at him to get his attention if it has been a while since he's played with her. She will get in the bed and sleep with either of us and snuggle up real close. BUT, she has a starnge fodness for my 10 year old daughter. I swear it's her high-pitched voice. My daughter loves to baby her and talk baby talk to her. Her daddy does too, and she loves it. Daddy will call her: "Come here daddy's girl. Come here daddy's little rascal." In his bab talk voice and she goes nuts! LOL She loves us all, but Mommy is her fave.

Thats my boys. I am the center of their universe. If I am unavailable they will find another lap for a short time. I always say "Any port in a storm huh boys?" LOL They follow me everywhere. They lay on top of me, sleep with me. No one else matters when I am home.

I don't mean to brag but my Bella loves her mommy she play's with everyone but prefers me she even tolerates my three yr old which is not easy but nothing can replace me and the feeling is mutual
