Hey Nancy where do you live in az?...I live in Surprise

Hi Nancy & welcome to YT!! I am very surprised that people talk about Yorkies being mean. I didn't know much about the breed when I decided this would be my baby, but I've never heard them being mean. Sissy is the most lovable dog, loves everyone. The worst comment I've heard about her is to keep her from kissing them!!!

Good luck with your new little Joey. Hope to see photos soon!!!!

Socialize, socialize, socialize.

As soon as your pup has all of his/her shots, start taking him out to meet the world. The goal is 100 new people and 100 new situations before they are 20 weeks old.

The more you socialize your pup, the less likely he/she is to be "mean". Genetics also plays a factor. Be sure you meet the mom.

Joey is far-and-away the best dog I've ever had. But then, I've also spent more time socializing him and taking him to obedience classes than I have any other dog. Probably no coincidence, right?

Again, welcome!

Socialization is the key to a well behaved and dependable pup!

LuVnYoRkiEs, hi I’m in Chandler, I’m “surprised” (pun intended) nobody else has ever heard this rumor. Years ago, I heard this, and so when I hear it now, it made me think it was a wide spread belief. I don’t think this is something they would say if I had the Yorkie, it something they say when I say I’m thinking about getting a Yorkie. That’s what so great about the forum, a book could never get so many great believable testimonies.

I LOVE LOVe LOVE my Yorkies! Tootie is the FUNNEST little animal in the world! He is just too cute and always so happy! He puts a smile on my face even when he is a bad boy....
Hope is the SWEETEST little thing in the world.. she is WAYYYY different than Tootie but they are both such a joy to me! They wouldnt know how to be mean if they tried... Hope is much more leary of strangers but nowhere near mean

I have never met mean Yorkies. We have taken our two out to meet people since they were puppies and if you call running up to people they meet and covering them with sweet little kisses mean, then I guess mine are! ha ha Other people with Yorkies come up to us and the pups have a ball meeting and playing. I have had several other dogs but there is just something extra special about the Yorkies! I highly recommend Yorkies. If I get any more pups in the future, they will be Yorkies. By the way, WELCOME to YT.

The first is of titan and a puppy. the next one both dogs, the next one is roxi and puppies and the last is Titan. Knowing my luck these will be pictures where they look nothing like themselves. If that's the case later I'll post more pictures.

OMG love that third pic with Titan (I think) resting his head on the pup. You are so right, Titan looks JUST like Coco. They could be seperated twins, minus a weiner..lol ..So cute.

I have a daycare in my home and my dogs see tons of people, all ages, and we have never had any problems. Unless you consider licking violent behavior.

Wow they do look just alike! cutest dogs ever LOL.

Excellent post.

yorkies as a breed aren't mean it's how they are raised /treated
dogs get mean because they aren't properly cared for trained and socialized that's all there is to it so next time someone tells you yorkies are mean tell them that

Grayson's mom · 10-26-2006, 02:11 PM

MEAN? My baby boy is the sweetest furbaby we have ever had!

Nancy1999 · 10-26-2006, 05:46 PM

Thanks for all the advice; I really didn’t realize that socialization was that important. Good to know. The breeder sent me a picture of her pup; he doesn’t look too mean! I can’t wait to see him tomorrow night.

Mitzis Mom · 10-26-2006, 07:22 PM

Awwww. how adorable!!! But I have to warn you: those Yorkies are the meanest, most dangerous attack dogs there are! ...at least that's what Mitzi believes when she goes after the squirrels here in the neighborhood...

A mean Yorkie is a contradiciton in terms...

Doodlebug · 10-26-2006, 09:23 PM

Awww, what a sweetie pie! I agree, he might give the squirrels a run for their money. But he really doesn't look Tooooo dangerous!
