| Your dog's playfulness/energy level I've read all about your Yorkies, knowing that their temperament varies significantly based on multiple factors! How they were raised as puppies and into adulthood, their parents, and other variables. So... what is YOUR yorkie like? Is your yorkie shy, or is he very exuberant and playful? A "party animal", or a quiet lap dog? Social w/all humans and canines, or does he prefer the company of those he already knows? Sleepy, or a ball of energy? I'd love to hear!

| I think mine are a little bit of everything. Daisy is shy and reserved but loves her mommy, Bear is a big love bug to everyone. They love to play with us and each other, but their favorite place is in my lap. |

| Joey is somewhere in between. He's very playful, but not hyper. Sometimes wants to sit in my lap, sometimes not. {Almost always wants to be in the same room as I am, though}. He's very attached to me and my youngest son, but loves strangers and loves other dogs. He's wonderful, what can I say?

| Oh my! Piper is quite the runner. Unlike Misha my maltese laid back. Piper starts running through the house so fast, you can't keep track of her. Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, She loves to jump also. She has a lot more energy than Misha ever had, but she loves to lay by my feet when I'm on the PC. That is if she isn't getting into mischief. I think the Yorkie in her is definitely a stand out trait. |

| Chachi and Jewels are playful but not hyper. They are both leary of people at the door but warm up to them once they are inside. They are also fine with people who are outside the house. They just become a little protective at the door.

| Gypsy is a lap dog all the way. She likes to play occasionally but mostly likes laying around. I tried to get her interested in chasing a tennis ball last night, and she just watched it roll by her. She is perfect for me as I am lazy too.
