Yorkies-Calm? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bree is very calm and laid back... thats why she gets to come to work with me all the time. But when she gets to play with her brother 4 month old 45lb yellow lab outside then she can get pretty wound up. Mostly she just sits in my lap and gives kisses.

The statement was something about yorkies as a breed were calm,laid back companions. My Lil Bumblebee drives me crazy she is always jumping,running,barking and basicly a wild child all day long.
How may people have a calm,laid back yorkie? How may have a wild child?

they are not all calm. i have one that is a complete wild thing.

Teddy is a pretty calm yorkie - loves to cuddle, snuggles up to Mom Dad and Uncle Ryan ... very lovely. However, when we bring him to Curt's parents house he gets to play with Tucker, the slightly older and much larger yorkie, and they fight and play like little wolves! It can be a task to calm them down when they're together.

STEDMAN..............is ANYTHING, but CALM!!! lol

He will dirve you bonkers sometimes!! But bonkers in a good way lol

The only time Stedman is calm is when he is sleeping!! He is constantly running, barking, jumping up on the couch, jumping up on the window and looking outside, attacking the cat, begging to go outside, chewing the heck out of his toys or his Bully Stick, standing up in front of me doing tricks trying to get a treat...OMG it never ends!!!

Ha-ha! Muffin was my little firebrand, but Kacee is a calm little girl, except when she's playing and running!

Well I consider myself very Lucky! I have a male almost 3 yrs. old and a female almost 2 yrs. old and both are very calm & relaxed 99 percent of the time and that 1 percent is when someone comes over and rings the doorbell!
For the most part one is always on my lap and the other is on my feet both asleep. Even @ the Dog Park, I always get compliments b/c they say most Yorkie's are hyper, nipping and barking, besides being high maintenance.
I do my best to make sure they behave everywhere we go and make it a point
to set an example. I do alot of Yorkie & YT. Promotion/Marketing, especially @ Petsmart and the Vet. Office where there is the highest ratio of mis-
informed Public! I can say that 9 out of every 10 Yorkie's we meet are hyper and un-socialized (admitted by their Owners not me)

Gypsy is a calm baby. She would rather sleep beside me or in my lap then anything else. My dtr's yorkie is the complete opposite. Typical wild child. When he is over, Gypsy just sits in our laps watching him run around. Gypsy is perfect for me.

Yorkie's are supposed to be calm! They're terriers!!!

SJK1113 · 09-14-2006, 02:53 PM

So far, Jake is pretty calm and loves to cuddle or sit on my lap. But, get him started with playing, and he is anything BUT calm!

gentlybentley · 09-14-2006, 03:08 PM

My Spencer must be an exception too. He's so calm and laid back. He'll just sit there and look at me when I come in or when he sees me get his treats. He sits, ever so patiently, waiting for me. It's too cute. He is clumbsy too...he'll be running and looking to the side....then **BAM** he'll run into the wall....it's something to see...lol. Thankfully he's never gotten hurt.

I agree, it just depends on the dog.

SnowWa · 09-14-2006, 11:58 PM

Both my dogs are calm - they certainly have their times when they want to run around outside and play -- or run around the house and drive me crazy - but basically, they are pretty laid back most of the time.

I think they take after me.......

chester is pretty mellow, except for if he hears something of someone comes to the door. I have to drag his butt out from under the covers most of the time.

Big T · 09-16-2006, 07:55 PM
