Yorkies-Calm? So I was reading on the net and I came across a statement someone made. It got me thinking is their something wrong with the statement or something wrong with my Lil Bumblebee? 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? |
I have 2 wild childs!!!! lol At times they will lay around and stay calm but most of the time they are chasing eachother around the house. Sometimes I feel like they are going to get hurt because they bang themselves pretty hard against my walls and furniture (I don't have carpet) but it doesn't seem to bother them. |
I have to vote for the wild-child one........My kitty and Holly are both wild childs! Kitty has been through obedience training and passed with flying collars but she still runs wild. She chases her balls and if you don't throw them for her she does it herself. lol |
Mine are a mixture of calm and wild child. They are calm normally but if someone comes up to the door they are willd child |
lol, I've never heard them described as calm or laid back - most describe them as energetic, even for their small size and books say if you're looking for a lap dog, look elsewhere. They're terriers! You're not alone, Oscar and Ruthie are both pretty nuts, luckily they have each other to take their craziness out on - they just come to me for naps and lovin! |
Mine is definitely a wild child. He is only 8 mths old though so I hope he will settle down as he ages. If I sit down anywhere he thinks its playtime and will bring me his toys and start barking to play. I also have 2 other dogs and he wears them out too. He can go all day long at full speed but when I put him on his little bed at night he immediately crashes and I think is almost relieved to rest. My first yorkie was content to sit by me for hours so I think it just depends on their personality. |
I bought a few yorkie books and they all say energetic, a big dog trapped in a small body etc........ |
2 wild ones both my male (20mo) and female (12mo) are mainly wild. Granted there are times when they are quite but mostly one is teasing the other to play.:animal36 :animal36 |
I don't think I have a wild-child. Well, at least not yet. Buttercup has been calm ever since I got him. But I don't think statements for a specific breed apply to every single one. Dogs are like humans. |
Lucy is calm. She is 14 months old. I wonder if it is because she lives with a very calm 11 year old lab. |
calm, laid back Lady??? yeah right....lol....maybe the first day I brought her home....she is always running and jumping, I have maybe seen her take a nap once in the last 5 months that we have had her...She knows when to listen but she always up to something....she hates sitting still |

The Yorkie is considered a companion breed of dog, but they are terriers first. So think of the personalities of most terriers, add coat, little and cute and you have a Yorkie --- once heck of a handful of little dog. |
I think Tatum is an exception to the rule. Everything I've read says that Yorkies are typically the opposite of calm but Tatum is such a laid back pooch. I think it has so much to do with their environment. Before Tatum, we had a toy poodle who was also very laid back and calm - not like poodles are "supposed to be". Of course Tatum has her wild moments when she plays out in the yard with her Aust. Shepherd sister but that doesn't last too long. |
All my 3 previous girls were laid back and never off my lap. Dennis as a pup was a menace, hence his name “Dennis the Menace". However, now that he is a year and a half, he has calmed considerable and since I got Sahara 3 weeks ago he is just a little gentleman! Sahara is much to new to read as she is still a babe and I only get to see her a nap time as she is always playing with the Dennis. I am a little jealous, especially since I never get to see her beautiful little face. |
