Kyra was 6 months old before we heard her bark. She still has a very quiet bark but can be vocal when she wants to be lol.

Consider yourself lucky. Cali is also 18 weeks and "found" her voice about 3 weeks ago. Boy, does she enjoy using it.

Welcome to YorkieTalk!
Some Yorkies are just quieter than others. Henri is a little over 2 years old and is pretty quiet, he rarely barks. My Grandma came for a visit and kept commenting on how quiet he is, she kept saying to Henri how he is such a good boy for being quiet

He really only barks or growls when he is "protecting" the house or me.
If your baby is one of the quiet ones then count yourself lucky, there are other dogs in my family that are the complete opposite

Who knows?! You may be one of the lucky ones!

Both of my two are NOT quiet... lol

My Gizmo only barks or whines when he sees 2 of my 3 cats lol. He's super quiet and never complains. He's besties with my kitty Lucy, so he does not bark at her but if Sadie or Bruiser, come near where he can see him he barks like he thinks he's the biggest pup in the world haha :-)

Hopefully your little girl won't be a big barker

Joel is mostly really quite, I've had a few people ask if he's de-barked. As he get's older he finds new things to bark for but not in a crazy way

Mine is the same. He growls when he's protecting but very rarely barks. At home he just doesn't do it.

I think how much they bark can depend a lot on their personalities and what they have been exposed to. If they hear other dogs bark they tend to pick up the behavior pretty quickly.

Gracie barked when she was about 4 or 5 months old. She had a litter of kittens that she used to herd around when she was a puppy. She would get all excited about playing with them and would bark at them now and then. She still does on occasion. If one of the cats gets near one of her favorite toys they will hear about it!
