| I haven't heard anyone say that yorkies are dumb but whenever I say I have one, and even before we actually took possession of her, people would just roll their eyes and make a face. It was getting so I hated to tell anyone my new puppy was a yorkie because I was so tired of 'the look'.

| There is one commonality in all creatures: some have more "smarts" and good sense than others. I have two Yorkies and one is smart as a whip and other...hmmm, does in fact seem a little "dumb" -- either that or smart enough to know she's going to get that treat whether she does the trick or not! Or possibly she isn't interested in certain things. Not picking on her...just stating the facts. |

YT 2000 Club Member | Jasmine can see me just walking toward the drawer where her treat bag is kept and she begins doing tricks..........that is not dumb......that is smart and by HER choice. And, besides, yorkies are by far the most loving little furbabies ever!!

| i think alice is pretty smart, ive had her a short time but she has already learned several tricks. she does have the puppy attention spand and she tends to get overly excited for a treat that she just starts doing all of the tricks untill she think ill give her a treat. but she still knows the commands. i agree with the intelligence vs stubbon ness aspect. she can be stubbon but she knows what to do. haha btw that video is adorable!!!! i hope i can teach alice half as many things as you did!!! :]

| Macy is in agility and is one of the quickest learners in the class. She outshines a rottie that weights about 100 pounds. I don't put bows in her hair or dress her up when we go to class because no one would take us seriously.

| Buster is very smart. He only needs to be asked one time to do something. Family and friends are amazed at the things he can do especially when is only asked one time. Maggie is stubborn. She wants "room service", etc., but when she isn't being stubborn, she is very smart as well. Of course, the smartest of them all, Jackson!! And Uni!! If I could ony get one of you to come to Texas for a week.

No Longer a Member | I think of Rizzo as strong-willed not dumb...i.e. he won't do a trick if he doesn't see a treat in my hand...though his re-call is really getting good, since he comes instantly to "treat time" just started saying "treat, come" and now he is almost always coming to just "come" woohoo! but when I'm teaching him new tricks or re-inforcing the old ones, he won't do a thing until he see's the treats. So I call that smart, not dumb |
