and Bear too! ♥ Donating Member | Are male yorkies more difficult to housebreak? Just wondering if males are harder to train than females? My female Morkie was easier than my males? My breeder has a male available but i'm not sure what to do.

| No! One of my males hasn't had an accident in about 10 years now. Training is the key to potty training. Neutering is important though so you do not have marking.

| Not in my house! My male has been easier to train for everything. I had him neutered at 7 months though so he wouldnt mark that can be a problem with unneutered males

and Bear too! ♥ Donating Member | I'm waiting to hear more details from breeder on size, age, cost and size of parents. I'm wondering if purebred Yorkies are much different than Morkies. I think my Rusty acted more like a Yorkie than Maltese.

and Bear too! ♥ Donating Member | is marking worse with two males? I would like another male because after rusty died, Sophie acted like she was going to attack a female yorkie that camps near us. I hope she'll be okay with a new puppy. i don't know what to do??? I have huge hole in my heart after losing Rusty. It's making me crazy!

| No the marking is usually due to an uneutered male or someone who waited too long to neuter a male and they had already started marking and a habit developed

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Many good breeders have told me that females are harder to housebreak. I think the problem with males is the marking and that hasn't anything to do with the need to urinate. If you have a female, I’d definitely get a male. Neither one of my boys marks in the house.

and Bear too! ♥ Donating Member | thanks! I didn't know that. If I do get a male I will make sure I neuter younger. I had a marking problem with Rusty and Ziggy. Now that Rusty's gone, Ziggy doesn't mark.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | It's a territorial thing and Ziggy no longer has the need to mark his territory. However, adding another dog to the mix, male or female can change the dynamics. While marking is guided by the hormone testosterone, and the testes makes the bulk of testosterone, the adrenal glands in males and females make testosterone also. I know a few people with 4 males and 1 female, and the female is the only one that marks.
