Does your Yorkie play fetch?

[dinkyweil]

I think Dink would play for as long as I am willing. Well, he has fallen asleep sometimes during a game, but he will run to fetch any squeaky toy over and over and over again. We are in the midst of nasty cold weather now, so he's got more energy than usual. So I throw and throw and throw!

Peanut LOVES fetch!! He will play fetch with any toy, he doesn't mind!! His favorite is his bone!! He has had this dang bone since he was a baby, it is his LOVE!! He also likes to hide it, sometimes he doesn't remember where he hides it and DH and I have to tear the whole house upside down to find it, and its funny we wont even have to say a word and he knows what we are looking for!!

The other fav game he likes it when you play pick a hand, where you hide his bone in one of your fists and he will sniff which one his bone is in!!

Pixie loves to play fetch!! From the minute you come in the door, you better be picking up that ball and throwing it so I can run and get it. She also will play fetch with her bunnies. They best things she loves to do is stand at the top of the stairs and she'll nose her ball to start it rolling down the stairs for you to caught and throw it back to her. Most of the time she hits it with her nose to make it go back down, but then other times she hold it and grawl. Pixie and fetch go hand and hand. She can play it 24/7.

both of mine love to play fetch, however Tia taught Olly how to do it and now its non stop fetch fun. Of course they both insist on carrying their balls home too , its so cute.

Lexi also loves to play fetch. Anytime, anywhere. When we go for walks, she'll drop the ball right by my foot so that I can kick it for her.

I hear you on this. Winnie will not stop. We have dedicated fetch time. We only allow her tennis ball for an hour a day. Then her squeeky toy, we can play with that and her rope all day too.

sometimes I just have to get her to chew so i have time to let my arm rest!

Persoenally , I think that most yorkies feel that fetching is beneath them. After all, were theynot put here to be pampered and waited on. On the flip side, mine have done a good job of eaching me to fetch for them.

Rizzo only fetches for a grand total of 5-10 minutes at a time, and only inside. For a while I could get him to "chase" a ball, but he wouldn't ever bring it back if we were outside.

Farrah loves fetch with a stuffed toy because then she can tease me and hold it longer. LOL she likes to play tug-o-war too. My little tuffy. : )

Just wanted to see, on average, how many Yorkies enjoy a game of fetch.

Jackson likes fetch but only at certain times... he will play inside, for example, down our long hallway, or at my dads house, even outside in our yard but it depends what good things there are to smell... he also will play frisbee out in our yard, but it usually keeps his interest for only 5-10 mins.

When we go to a park or someplace new, etc, he won't... I really wish he was the kind of dog that I could take to the dog park and throw balls and he would go chase them (for exercise purposes, the only way he gets it at a dog park is if there are other dogs there), but he just doesn't care enough when we're in a new situation like that.

He will chase another dog who is playing fetch, though. As most of you know, he's a super active dog... I just wish he was able to do it by himself.

Same here...I've tried getting him to fetch and he just stares at it and walks away...he only runs if I run, he won't play otherwise...oh well I guess that's a couple more calories burned in a day

LOL! Well Jackson will go fetch it, but like I said only at certain times... he's funny about it. He does it outside at home but only for about 5-10 mins before he gets distracted, and indoors he will usually do it for a while. But at a park or a new outdoor place... nope!

He's so weird... the only time I've ever seen him TRULY focused on a toy is in the summer by the pool...

But he plays frisbee, ball and toys in our yard -- just no where else.

He's a weirdo, lol. I guess I need to 'teach' him at other places to play fetch.

Bella loves to play fetch. I am sure she would do it all day long if we would. She brings everything back and drops it at our feet.

[TresCutePiggies]

Obsessed with fetch would be more like it. Rory loves the small Air Dog tennis balls with squeakers, and Lane loves the rubber soccer balls with squeakers. That being said, if we left their balls out all the time, we would NEVER get anything done. They are forever rolling them under the sofa or other furniture that they can't get it out from underneath, so they bark for us to get it for them then repeat. You get the idea. So, we have a nightly ritual of 25 minutes of fetch every night with their "special" balls and the rest of the day they have to settle for fetching with one of their other zillion toys. I'm a mean mom I know. They have realized the "eggs" in egg babies toys are the most like balls and love to toss those under the sofa too.

AprilLOve is OBSESSED with fetch!!! She would play ALL day 24/7 if I had the energy!!! Its all about the soccer ball, she will sit at my feet with it in front of her and demand that I throw it! She will even come into the bathroom when mommy is "busy" lol and drop the ball right at my feet, she doesn't care what I am busy doing, when she gives me the ball, it is MY job to throw it for her
