Yorkie Boy and Girl Questions for Owners I'm just curious, I want to find out from people who have female, male or both. "General" personality traits of the different sexes. I know they are all individuals but I find that my female is very territorial and not extremely playful. She will chase and retrieve a ball, but that's about it. She's also not very playful with other dogs and basically wants nothing to do with them. Are males more playful? That is what I've read but I wanted a real opinion and not just something from a book. What do you think? I would love to know! Thanks, Judy |
I can only speak to the male that I have who's only 7.5 months old. He is cuddly when he wants to be, and is pretty independent and playful also. I heard that he will be an absolute love-bug as a neutered adult male. He LOVES people, and I must say, his socialization skills with other dogs has increased 10-fold since he was boarded for a few days last month while we were on vacation. He is no longer afraid, and will happily meet any size dog with a mad wagging tail :p |

My boy is 2.5 and is SUPER playful. He spends all of his waking hours doing something active; he is definitely NOT one to just sit on the couch and watch. He runs around the backyard, he plays with his toys, he adores fetching, and he loves to chew on his bully sticks. He is SUPER affectionate and follows me around and gives me tons of kisses, but he doesn't like to just sit still and snuggle with me during the daytime - he'd much rather go on a walk with me or go to the dog park. He is definitely a social butterfly, and loves every person and every dog he ever meets. Of course, this is just my little guy's personality, but I absolutely adore him! |
In my experience with both dogs and cats, the females love you, but the males are in love with you. They can both be very playful and affectionate, but generally speaking the boys were just enamored with me. The girls have always seemed a tad more independent. |
I like what the above poster said. My male is definitely in love with me while my female simply just likes me. I honestly feel like she prefers her doggy brother to me. |
Well my two males are very affectionate. Independent of course, but they want lots of love and attention. They are ready to go and do what ever I want. Our girl is more moody. Sometimes in your face affectionate and demanding of attention, and sometimes aloof and just wants to be left alone. |
Phoebe is a couch potato :D She is very territorial when it comes to other dogs. She's a daddy's girl , but at bed time she always cuddles behind my back and took over my side of the bed:eek: |

My boy is my lovey-dovey baby. He wants to be stroked & loved. He likes to play with his toys but he's every womans man. He turns upside down to be stroked & will nudge you if you're not doing it right! He sleeps on my back every night. My girl loves you, but she wants to touch, not be handled. She talks to you & skips every 2 steps while she's going down them. She's my light of my life but he's my baby. |
We (hubby and myself) are empty nesters and our Bailey is a singleton - very loveable. She always has to be touching me or follows me into every room of the house - including the bathroom. She constantly crawls into my lap at every chance possible. I will admit - that I started quilting recently and haven't been giving Bailey my 100% attention- so she started to get attention from my husband. I started to think that she was getting independent as she got older. I was wrong! As soon as I put the quilt aside - she came right back to me. She is my lov'r dog again! :) (just one of her many affectionate names) |

Our girl is super playful, loves fetch, bounces around like a little rabbit, loves all dogs she meets and people...but is also super cuddly and affectionate - follows us all around (myself, my husband and our son) and will sleep on my lap for hours or lye down licking the crook of my arm and looking up at me with baby eyes. She's the light of our lives. :) |
My boy is so playful and affectionate. My girl is a little love and playful as well, but she doesn't fetch and listen as well as my boy does. |

My boys are momma's boys my girls tend to go to daddy. Here is a page I have on my website that may help. www.wvyorkies.com then go to boys Vs girls tab... it is not letting me do the direct link |
With Rizzo, boy 7.5 months old, he is a total lover. He runs and plays and is always excited about anything that I'm doing if I address him and make sure he feels like he is involved :P He loves to cuddle on the couch when I'm watching a movie, but as soon as I move it is play time :D I don't have a little girl, but my Rizzo is definatly affectionate and though it usually takes a couple hours around someone before he is ready to play or cuddle with new person. |
Jasmine is a mommy's girl. She loves her Daddy, she prefers her mommy. If I leave the room, you can be sure she will follow. When I sit, she is in my lap. She is extremely playful, loves her toys, outside, going for walks, car rides, meeting new people,....very friendly. She sleeps beside me and when we put her in bed and she snuggles in, then gives a big sigh of contentment...she is absolutely adorable. |
I have only ever had female dogs but my gran has had a few males, I find that the males seem to be more loving and the females seem to be more independant. |
I have 3 yorkies 2 males and 1 female and they all have different personalities. The 1 male plays 24/7 the other male wont play at all. My female wants love 24/7 and would be held like a baby all the time if she could be. So I think they all are different. |
Wow! Thanks for the great response! I only have a female right now and I would agree that she follows me everywhere, wants to play "ball mostly", and loves me. However, she does have an independent side too and while she likes to be around me, she doesn't necessarily want to be held all the time. Next year I would like to get another Yorkie and after having this discussion (even though I was leaning towards getting a girl, I might get a boy) My only concern with a boy was house training issues, are they really harder to train or about the same? And by the way Melissa, you have such beautiful Biewer dogs at Kissa's Yorkies & Biewers. The article on your website was very informative, as well. Thank you. I'm sure I will love either a boy or a girl, they are just such lovable dogs anyway:) |

Wow! Fizz is the complete description of my Maggie!!! My other girl does her own thing, "tolerates" other dogs, doesn't like to be held, and is definitely a daddies girl. I got her before I married my husband and I have ALWAYS said, "Abby thinks she married Andrew and brought me along!" I am planning to get a 3rd Yorkie because Maggie desperately needs somebody to play with. I will not get a 12 week old pup because I want to be able to ascertain the dog's personality. Hared to do that at 12 weeks! |
