| Are Yorkies good jumpers? My appartment is a top floor appartment of a two floor building. My Garden is a roof garden. The wall around the garden at the very top is chest high on me (i'm 5'5) so I think thats ok. But the steps going up have a wall thats about 2 & 1/2 feet in places because of the angle. Do you think I should increase the hight there a little? The cats walk that way when they are trying to get away from Mitzi, and I'm worried that one day she'll try to follow and end up falling 2 floors. :Puppy: ___________________________ |

| I think if there is a chance of your yorkie falling I would increase it. Yorkies are good jumpers but it is not good on their knees for them to jump.

| My dogs breeders dogs would jump over this thing she put in the doorways to keep them in one room like it was nothing. It was alot higher than a babygate. My dogs never try to jump out of anything. You never know if your going to have one that is a jumper.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | So true - and what they can't jump - they may try to climb....My youngest Cheri ....has made it over our tallest Baby Gate AND climbed trees...I had to rescue her one day - she was 3 feet off the ground in the fork of a little tiny tree just stuck there - (I watched her jump up into it and had to laugh first before I plucked her out of the tree) |

| I have a female who if you want to keep her in close a door because no baby gate or higher is going to work. She jumps like a kangeroo, straight up in the air into my arms if I let her. I swear she could jump on my shoulder and perch like a bird........haha.....Im almost 6 ft tall too. Many are VERY good jumpers. In a tree?????????????? Now that is funny!!! |

LOL!! Mine is in the "hopping" phase at the moment. I'm glad I asked you guys about this. It gives me time to make things safe before she starts jumping into my arms!! I'm only 5'5 as I said before. If yours gets up into your arms, i'm soooooooo stuffed if Mitzi is like your dog!! LOL | |
