| Do Yorkies Mellow Out? My Yorkie is 6 months old and very active and excitable. Our cockapoos were once that way but now at ages 3 and 7, they are very relaxed. Can you tell me: As Yorkies age do that mellow out? Thank you. |

| I think they do calm down somewhat with age, but I know at 13 Lacy was still playing and enjoying fetch and still acting like a puppy. |

| I would be interested to hear other opinions too. Ella is 1 and a half and has mellowed a bit but I am secretly hoping she will mellow a bit more with age!! lol She has a lot of excess barking energy! |

| My dogs each have their own personality. My male dog is pretty easy going and laid back also not as outgoing with visitors. My female dogs are both super hyper. The oldest is very friendly with visitors and extremely inquisitive. The younger one is still in the older puppy stage, but tends to be more shy around visitors. She is somewhat of a cross between her mother and her father. But I would say both of the older Yorkies still have pretty much the same behavior as when I got them as pups. |

| Do yorkies mellow out? You're hilarious! Seriously, though...Baby is my first Yorkie (9 m/o), so I can't help you out there.

| Hmmmm...that's a tough one! A friend of mine has a Yorkie that's about a year older than my Max. She said the magic age was 2 years...her Toby stopped jumping & yipping at that point, but he still barks like crazy when anyone pulls into the driveway. The jury's still out on my Max...he's a spazz!

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Yes, they mellow out. Eddie was a handful the first year, and I made the same exact post you did. But he slowly mellowed out. Now, he cuddles more than I'd like. Nowadays, I have to force him to play.

| Emilee is my extrememly hyper one. She will be 3 in December and I sure hope she mellows out soon although I'm not going to hold my breath.

| I was going to say no, too. Muffin didn't. She could run like the wind at 14!

| Joey is much more mellow at a year than he used to be. That said, though, he's a long way from being what you'd call a mellow dog.

| Millie is over a year old and I would have to say she has mellowed out, alittle. Or maybe she has matured. But she definitely is out of the puppy stage, I can tell. As each month goes on, I find that she is more mellow than she used to be. I truely am enjoying Millie more than ever right now. I noticed that she behaves more, she is more patient, in that she will wait longer periods of time, etc. So in that respect she is more mellow or as stated, more mature acting. She still likes to play and run, but the urgency is leaving her. |
