Is your yorkie a fetcher? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Dougal&Little · 05-13-2006, 09:26 PM

Dougal's fetcher. but he gets bored after a while the best way to keep his interest is pretending to throw it a lot so he has to guess whether you've thrown it or not

.

If he feel it's "go get it" time he'll drop the toy at your feet, or in your lap or try to push it into your hand and put on his "puhleeze- play wif meeee!!" face looking rapidly from my face to the toy. Then just in case i didn't get the hint he'll nudge the toy with his nose or pick it up and drop it.

Somehow i managed 2 teach him to drop but ever since we got the evil wee he keeps his nose on the toy until i pick it up cos his lil sis is the kind of evil dog that'll just take it off him cos he looks like he's having too much fun.

Not only does Baby run after everything I throw and come back, she also picks up everthing I drop and runs away with it! Then I have to fetch her!

Kitty plays fetch with anything. She will go and go and go until you can't go anymore. She loves balls but she'll fetch anything that you throw. It is great fun and she always brings it back. Sometimes you have to give her the "drop it" command but she always does.

Katy will play until we drop! She is getting really good at catching the jumping and catching the ball in the air.

I guess it is a yorkie trait! Trixie can play fetch all day too. Maybe it's their 'hunting' instinct coming out.

BTW does anybody's yorkie do this? Trixie will play with her toys, but then puts it next to the couch or the entertainment center and pushes it underneath where she can't get it. Then she whines and whines in front of it until I get it for her...

That is too funny!

Stewie loves playing fetch too. He would play all day if you let him.

Now he wants me to throw 3 or more toys, then he fetches all of them at once and brings them all back in his mouth. If I try to ignore him, he barks at me until I get the hint and throw one . What a little stinker.

miezzi · 05-14-2006, 06:43 AM

YES! My 2 boys LOVe FETCHING!!!!!!! Luigi brings me his stuffed little bones for me to throw them to him!!!! And he has a ball! We could thrwo them for 5 hours strait, and he never tires of it!
Brasco though...when he 1st came to live with me, he was scared of all the squeaky toys. And just stayed on the couch and watched! And after about 3 monthes of that, he started going after what I threw for Luigi! But now, he LOVES to fetch! MAinly his soccer balls now! If he brings me one to throw, and I just sit there, he starts whining and grrrring and his tail goes soooooooooo fast! Then he will bard at me if I don't throwit at all!!! Por thing! But they love it!
And Livv just likes to after anything that is the boys just to aggitate them!!! I love it!!!!!!! LOLOLOL

Gracie is the EXACT same way! Fetch with her is more funny than fun.

Tucker loves fetch. He even plays fetch with himself! He will shake a toy until it goes flying out of his mouth, then run and get it and shake it again. It's so funny to watch! Fetch is his favorite game.

chachi · 05-14-2006, 02:02 PM

Chachi loves to play fetch he just doent like to give the ball up when he returns with it. I eventually get it back from him though. Jewels doesnt play fetch and I dont know why. She will chase after Chachi when he goes for the ball but she will never retrieve a ball.

yorkiegirl2 · 05-14-2006, 07:23 PM

Mine are yorkie retrievers too.
They play with anything and with 5 they are so funny to watch.
They love to play keep away from each other.

my oscar is a chaser but not a fetcher. He'll throw the toys and expect the other dogs to go fetch. My basset hound loves fetch I thought he would playit with anyone but oscar just cant' get the toys away from him to throw it again.
