Hehehe! Stomper is now almost a year and a half and he is still sooooooo HYPER! :D |
Oscar is VERY hyoer...but not as bad as he used to be. At least we can correct him now and he will calm down...sometimes! He is wide open most of the time. When people come over there is no helping him! He loves everybody! He loves to play and demands you play with him...but we have learned to turn that off now when enough is enough. Then he plays with himself...he really needs a brother...If I could only convince hubby! :cool: Maybe someday. This weekend he is going to stay with a friend of ours for a few days while we go to Texas and she has a Bichon named Harley who he LOVES to play with! He is gonna have a good time!!! |
Dogs have different personalities. My Yorkie is quite laid back (and not a barker) most of the time. But, if he ever has the opportunity to play - when company, children, or other animals come over - he goes crazy!!!! He can play until he's exhausted with my other dog - or sit by me and watch television all evening. I did learn from the breeder that my dog's mother is very laid back and easy going --and his father is a hyper little barker..... Looks like my dog takes more after his mother than he does his father. Carol Jean |
Mine is the very same way.He can play rough and hard when he wants to. Now like yours his mom was also laid back. He has been like this since day one. Even as a pup he was really quiet.I hvae often wondered if it was how I treated him when he was little. I am a SAHM and he was ALWAYS being held when he slept. Thanks for all the replys. |
One is one isn't Dreama is so calm and regal. She is indeed the queen of the house. Wosie on the other hand is a HANDFUL!! Hyper? Oh yeah baby! My son says that holding on to Wosie is like trying to hold a ferret that just swallowed a gyroscope!! LOLOL :D |
Gracie for the most part is calm. I'm sure I'll get shot for this but she has been on Clomacalm for almost a year now. (She is not on it due to hyperness, she is on it for other reasons) She likes sleeping during the day and she usually will only get hyper if I make her hyper... she was like that even before the med's... But she does like to bark..... |
Now my Pippi-dip is a hyper lil thing at night when I get home. She has taken to looking out the window on weekends and barks at stuff. Then she goes nuts because she wants to go outside soooo badly. :) She can be really calm at times though. We have noticed since her hysterectomy, she is a lil more hyper. The only thing that really concerns me about her behavior is how she treats our 10-year-old cat. She literally attacks the cat, jumps on his back, bites his ears HARD, and just in general makes life hard for the cat! I have yet to find a real way to stop her of this. I think part of it is jealousy, part is getting attention, and part of it is just plain orneriness. |
my last litter was two girls. completely different.The one i kept was wiggling her tail before she could walk. She throws a fit at night when i put her in her crate. The other one was so quiet and well behaved. I like the routy one. She is just like her mommy Sugar. She wants attention when she wants it. a little stinker |
Heres a funny story for ya! I came home from work about a week after we brought pixie home and my dear husband announced that Pixie was not a purebred. I laughed and corrected him and said of course she was purebred. He shook his head and as serious as ever said "no, sweetheart, I am sorry to tell you, she is not". I stood there dumbfounded. I then challenged him with "well if she is a half breed, what the heck is she mixed with? and he looked down at the dog and looked up at me and said "Al Qaeda"......and he paused ...."she's a terrorist". I burst out laughing and scooped up Pixie and then Brian spent the next 30 minutes telling me about the terror Pixie had put him through that day! I wouldn't have it any other way! She's a handful, but thats what makes her so much fun and gives her such an amazing personality! |

I think Rowdy would be classified as calm - he gets very exicted when we come home - but he playes quietly or sits beside my hubby most of the time. Of course, that may all change now that we have a brother - Rex and they are beginning to play. We'll see - but I do think Rowdy is very calm for a little dog. I also think his mom and dad were pretty calm too - the breeder has 6 Yorkies :eek: but only one unfixed male and female. They are all just about as calm as can be when we go over there. So, I think that Rowdy comes from calm stock. I guess we named him incorrectly! :D We didn't choose Rowdy though, because he was overly active - we just liked the name. |
I love this thread, because now I know that Zoe is NORMAL!! She is all over the place hyper all the time... she does calm down to chew on things and sleep in my lap though. I think these dogs would do great in agility! :) |
When I posted this thread I was looking for other Yorkie moms that have calm dogs. I guess there aren't many of us out there. Reading what so many of you all have said my baby isn't Healthy or normal. When I say calm I don't mean lethargic and I don't mean depressed. He eats good and loves to play he just doesn't like to play all day long. He is housebroken and has been since he was 5 months. So I have no complaints at all. He also gets me up in the A.M. to go out. I really don't think what is normal for one is always normal for another. Personally I prefer to have him the way he is. It would drive me insane to watch him run around all day long. |
