Does your Yorkie play fetch?

Does your Yorkie play fetch?

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.

Levi LOVES to play fetch...but only indoors. He'll fetch anything from tennis ball to socks to his bully stick. He won't even entertain the idea of 'fetching' outside - he is much too busy! He is the kind of dog who will run around in circles by himself outside. He can entertain himself pretty well. Of course, if there are other dogs around, his first choice is to chase them. And if for some reason he stands still, if I jog around, he will run with me. But 'fetch' outside? No way.

[viviansnickers]

Yes!!! Snickers loves fetch. Esp with his favorite bunny, he will play indoor and outdoor. We play it daily inside nowadays since its 10 below zero.

So fun!!!

Levi sounds like Jackson! Jackson is what I'd call an indoor fetch dog too, lol... and is too busy for it outside. But he won't run circles around by himself, although he will chase me if I run... but then I look like an idiot outside at a dog park!

Chloe looooves fetch! She will play as long as you will throw it! The others just look at me like I'm crazy. Lol

[marcerella02]

Layla will always play fetch outside- but she is hit and miss inside.

[BellaDonna]

Bella is not normally a play fetch girl but since I have a Chihuahua that loves to play fetch Bella will race her for the ball! She loves to chase it but doesn't always bring it back.
The main reason she does grab the ball and carry it is to keep Sweet Pea from winning the game.

[Sammy Mommy]

When Sammy was younger he would love to play fetch with his toy baseball in the hallway. Now that he's getting older he's not as playful.

[PiePiper]

Piper LOVES to play fetch. As soon as you sit down to relax Piper will toss a tennis ball in your lap. Let the games begin. She would play ball all day if she could.

[Maximo]

Indoors, Max and Teddy would play their combo of fetch/tug o' war all day if they had a willing human participant. Their absolute favorite is playing keep away with 2 humans. They run so fast and hard.

Outdoors, they are too busy for fetch.

HAHA. Levi will run, run, run by himself...but he'll occasionally stop and give me this look like, "Lady, this game would be so much more fun if I could chase you." I feel especially idiotic when we are the only ones in the small dog section of the dog park and my little dog is chasing me...but there are tons of people/dogs in the large dog section watching.

Reno will fetch a ball until we take it away from her. If she doesn't bring it close enough we tell her, "I can't reach it." and she will nose it closer until you can reach it.

[CouversMom]

Couver is a fetching fiend. If he were to have an addiction, it would be fetching. He will fetch almost anything from stuffed toys, squeaky toys and full sized soccer balls. He will also play fetch anywhere. Often, I will have to put away the ball at the dog park to try and get him to play with other dogs. He also can sometimes get protective over his toys, so I now try to keep the fetching to at home.

Khloe, on the other hand... Loves to upset her brother, but right now doesn't particularly enjoy the game of fetch. She will often chase Couver and try to steal his toys that he's fetching, but isn't really motivated by the game of fetch. She's even started this little game recently where Couver will be really into a game of fetch and she will beat him to the toy and then run off and put it away in the office. Couver will then have to go fun it and bring it back. She will then do this 5-10 more times before Couver gets frustrated and gives up on fetching. I will have to post a vid... It is hilarious to watch. I really don't know what her motivation is to hide his toys other than to just be the irritating little sister

[mscat]

Yes! I did not train Suzi to do it, she just does my shih tzu will too. it is a lot of fun , knowing that our little guys are so clever.

Daisy is obsessed with fetch. She wants to play it all the time everyday. We were recruited by a local flyball team as a 'height dog' because they saw how ball crazy she is and how fast.

If you ignore her sitting there asking you to throw the ball she growls to get you r attention and also sits in a beg position waiting.
