He is very, very active and playful and curious. He just turned three, but there is still something so sweet and puppylike about him. He loves to run around and play and chase and go on adventures. He is very excitable and tends to bark if someone isn't paying attention to him, or if he hears a loud noise outside. He is a wild, funny little man and I just love him to pieces!

This sounds an awful lot like my Mylee. While I often refer to her as one of the most challenging dogs I have ever had, it is her awkward personality and challenging nature that I absolutely adore about her. She talks and carries on the most loving conversations with me, and yet when I am not listening to her she'll give me the what for. I could win the lottery on her predictability as well. If I leave something out, I predict she WILL tamper with it.

I agree that they are all so different. My first yorkie, Jessie, was a little love bug with me and DH. She was submissive and obedient. She loved other people especially children but did not get along with other dogs. Now Jamie at a year and a half is a split personality. Sometimes she is so sweet and loving and other times, mostly with my Dh, a little brat and demanding. She needs to be the center of attention at all times. She loves all people and all dogs. Her best friends are a 180 pound rottweiler and a 150 pound sherpard mix. She holds her own with them.

Suzi will be 3 yrs old in March. SHe has always been highly energetic . She is very smart . Suzi is a great watchdog. Her bark is loud and she sounds like a bigger dog, I have had people come to my door, hear her bark, then turn around and leave. She loves children, they are her favorite. I was amazed , stunned , about the way she behaves around little kids. She rolls on her back and lets them pet her, even a toddler.
Suzi does not like men in uniform though. She goes crazy, and into protective mode. The guy who delivers water, PG&E , all of them don't stand a chance ! BUt, if she knows the man , she is very friendly . Friendly to everybody. Just at home , when she hears people and can't see them, she barks.
Suzi is loving, sweet, and likes to lick people's faces. She greets everyone by trying to jump , only reason she gets away with that is because of her size. We love her so much. She is our first Yorkie , and she is amazing.
We have a young 5-6 month old pup . She is different then Suzi. Mellow, laid back, wanting attention all the time. She is still getting use to her sisters, and has shown her teeth at them and growled. She is cery calm and darling. ANd she is learning from Suzi too.

Zach is a bit selfish and take advantage of Oliver our little shih tzu who is 10 weeks old. If Oliver has a toy Zach who is 10 months old will take the toy from Oliver because Oliver is the only one who will let him. We have two bassets and Zach has tried to get toys from them but one growl from them and he runs. Zoe our Shorkie is 14 months old will not let him take things from her either so he constantly bothers Oliver because he's not old enough to fight back. He's getting there though. Zach weighs 6 1/2 lbs and Oliver is about 5 lbs now. Pretty soon he's going to outweigh Zach and then watch out.

Rosie is very loving and wants to be held. She likes to sleep in my lap at all times. She is usually very friendly to most humans but does not like to have other dogs around. She loves my husband too. She sleeps right in the middle of us. When he gets to close, she growls at him. Let's just say I have her trained! She does not like other dogs in her house. My friend brought her male yorkie over (both are fixed btw) and Rosie jumped on the couch and growled at him. She did not want to play at all. She is very spoiled and I call her Miss Priss sometimes. She is such a girl! Wouldn't trade her for anything else!

chester is 8 plus years and he is very sweet, loves kids, cats and people but in the last few years he does not like certain dogs mostly the larger ones, he will growl at them and show them who is boss. He is a mommas boy and that is fine with me. He was socialized alot as a puppy and he is also stubborn like a yorkie and very smart

My Shelby rae is so sweet and shy but very persistent when she wants something while Kaylee bear is playful and obsessed with playing ball and she is lazer focused on what she wants with the patience of a saint...once she brought me the ball to play and I got busy and an hour later I looked up and she was still sitting there staring at me...she can be quite mischievous too they are just like kids.

It's so fun to read about the personalities of everyone's babies!

Roxie is a great little dog. She loves everyone she meets. She especially likes children...though she is a bit wary of my twin 3-year old nieces who chase her around like crazy. Roxie does not seem too crazy about other dogs...especially some of the dogs in our neighborhood. She will start barking and lunging as soon as she sees another dog. We usually have to turn around and go the other direction.

Roxie loves to play, and if she wants your attention, she will just come over and bark right in your face or drop a toy at your feet. She is a little cuddle bug, and our butts can barely touch the couch before she is right up on top of you. She loves to give kisses as well. Roxie can be a little devil too. Usually she will go behind the recliner when she wants to do something bad...like rip the stuffing out of one her toys.

I love her to pieces...I don't think I could have asked for a better dog!
