Anyone here have a yorkie & a maltese?
 

I was wondering if there was a big difference in temperment between the yorkies and the maltese. Anyone here have both?

Now you no longer have Jazzy are you thinking of getting 2 yorkies and a maltese?!! Sorry but I really have issues over this! I "knew " you from YD and this really upsets me that you got rid of Jazzy your little boy and then went to get more yorkies!! Dan - if you want to ban me so be it but I can't handle this any more!!!

I dont understand this either?? Getting rid of one yorkie and then getting some more... :confused:
Is it the puppy stage you enjoy?

Not Good! We care for our animals until they are seperated by death. If you have to let someone else take over, then I would certainly question my motives for getting more. Pat

I totally agree with the above posts. Rudy will be one on the 24th of this month and he is by no means an angel, but I would NEVER get rid of him. Even if he stays a little devil. I can't find the quote but is goes something like this "all dogs are good, it's what humans do to them that make them the way they are" I am still going to look for the quote because it sound better than this :p The sad thing there are alot of people that do this, especially about 4 or 5 months after Xmas, when the puppy stage wears off and it's not fun for them anymore. :( Some might not realize these little guys are a handfull, that they take as much or more care than a bigger dog. I am commited to my guys to the very end........................Cindy

I think you should ask yourself the real reason why you got rid of Jazzy and the reason you want a new puppy :mad:
It does sound as if you only enjoy the "fun" stage and that once they are adult you find yourslef getting bored..This isnt fair.You got rid of Jazzy,so I cant even imagine why you are even looking into getting other! It may seem ok to you,but it seems sefish to me :(

No I hope Dan doesn't ban you. If you want to make a fool out yourself, please go right ahead. For some reason you have made my life your business my best guess is because you don't have one of your own. With regards to Jazzy, you weren't here. You have no idea what I had to put up with from him! How dare you judge when you don't even know me! I did a lot of soul searching and talking with other EXPERIENCED yorkie owners (and you weren't one of them) before giving him up. I speak to his new owner daily usually more than once a day and she is actually a very good friend of mine. So again, get a life and if you don't like what I do with mine, then butt out!

I dont think Ana is butting in..its just that you got rid of Jazzi a while back and now youre getting yorkies again?? It doesnt make sense and we were just comenting on something YOU bought up.
Why get rid of a puppy then go out and get the exact same breed? It just doesnt seem normal..to me or to anyone I should think.If you dont want people commenting on this,dont post about it ;) Iv know ALOT of people (unfortunatly) that buy puppies,enjoy the puppy stage,then sell it..then waht do they do?..go out and buy another puppy.I just thought that your case was very simmilar.What will you do if your new yorkies behave in the same way Jazzy did? Will you seel them and then buy 4 new yorkie pups?
I dont find what youre doing right...but I would never have known if you havent of posted about it ;) So I hope you understand why Im awnsering.

First of all, I'm not going with the SAME breed! Read before you comment and second of all, yes I opened this thread but it wasn't to judgemental people such as yourself. It was to "those with both breeds"! I didn't start the thread as an open forum on judging jazzybaby. So as I said to the others, if you don't like it, don't answer! I understand why people have left this forum and gone elsewhere (and I've met quite a few). You guys really need to get a grip! Life is too short to be this worked up over an animal. Yes, everyone loves their pets but they aren't humans and as long as they are properly cared for by us or someone else, we've done our jobs.

People leave forums for alot of reasons..like the reason you left YD;) You didnt come through with your gift pal and disapeered...
You arent the bravest and most honest person Iv ever met online for that reason and now this one too.

I think I have a pretty good grip on live. This is a great site with alot of great people that love there yorkies UNCONDITIONAL and it seems you aren't one of them if you can get rid of Jazzy so easy, but then again Jazzy is better off with someone else who will love him no matter what. I know from now on I will not respond to any post with your name on it Well I am getting back to my great live were I love my , I think you refered to them as animals. My three are cherished loving pets regardless how they act.............Cindy
Gina I learned along time ago that we are wasting our breath talking to someone like her, maybe there is a site for animal owners she can join and quit joining site where the members love the pets

For your information, I left YD because the crappy server kept going down. It got frustrating to keep going there posting and going back later and it was down again. With regards to the gift registry, when YD went down so did my personal email page. Thank you!! As far as honesty goes, if you think your jabs bother me, you're sadly mistaken. Only if you really knew me would it bother me but you don't! Again, get a life. A real one and maybe the smaller things in life wont bother you so much.

And how would you know what was "easy" for me?? Were you there? Were you one of my close friends that I went over this with? No you were not. How dare you!!! How can you say what I'm feeling. That's just amazing to me that you people see a few post and all of a sudden, you know someone. Amazing. Especially well enough to know what I'm feeling and thinking.

Well said Cindy!! I second that :)
As for Jazzys mommy..you should get your self one of those little battery operated puppies that jumps and barks;) It will stay little,you wont have any behavioral problems with it,and batteries are cheaper than a new puppy every six months:)

Oh and Chelsie1978, maybe you don't really know the behavioral problems of a real yorkie based on that mixed breed mop in your profile!

LOL..now look who has no life! The reason you think my baby is a mixed breed mop is because you DONT LIKE YORKIES as you have so kindly proved your own little self;)

New Puppy
 

I think we should close out this one. Enough said, and tempers are flairing. We are not going to make any difference in what he is going to do. All I know is my Yorkie is my best friend. Wherever I go, so goes Snoodles. If someone doesn't want her, they don't want me. She is the best dog I have ever had. Even my husband who never wanted another dog today said everyone should get a Yorkie--what wonderful dogs they were. I love seeing him pick her up to carry her outside at night. He is 6ft.4 in. and Snoodles is 3#2oz. Gives my heart a burst! Pat

I think we should stop this NOW! When you start insulting yorkies it's going too far!! That is really unspeakable.

Stop this? You started this! Oh, its gone to far when I defend my self? So I'm supposed to let some judgemental old bats say whatever they want to me and that's that? You've got the wrong one.

Again, another thoughtless comment. Do you know me? No you do not but again, you want to throw out comments as if you do. Stick to your own business and stay out of mine. Again, if you didn't like this thread, you didn't have to respond!

Oh, and check breed standard for your dog. I doubt it would pass!

Lady could be cross bred with a ferret and Id still love her:) I cant breed her because she weighs 2lb´s so the standard doesnt bother me at all..neither do your childish coments:)

Im happy with my babies and their behaviour :) ..so is there anything you want to say about..say..my kids?? Or my parents ;) Or any other member of my family:) Go ahead,have fun..looks like your bored tonight:)

I think Lady and Jessie are two cute yorkies, and by the pic's and the way you talk about them they are much loved no matter what.............Cindy

Thank you:) They are my babies,and as a mommy I see no faults in them at all:) I love them both to peices :)

Lady and Jess are loved by many!! They are so cute! I'm miserable without my daily fix of photos of one or the other!!

:eek: Ditto what Ana, Gina, Cindy and Pat said!! :mad:

I have one of each. My maltese is more difficult, he barks more , is aggressive, grooming a maltese is a major commitment..much more so that grooming a yorkie. Maltese are know for being sweet natured but mine is not...he's a one person dog and is very attached to me but has little to do with others. I think you will find both ends of the spectrum with both breeds. I love Bentley to pieces but I will never get another maltese. The grooming issue alone is what I caution most people about. Those beautiful white faced dogs are very labor intensive..it take a lot of effort to keep them that way and you can not under any circumstance skip a daily brushing..the mats do not brush out like they do in a yorkie.

On a scale of 1-10 in the grooming difficulty ... a yorkie I would say is a 4 and the maltese is 10 +. My yorkie's coat care is a breeze while the maltese is a major issue...you just wouldn't believe the difference.

Thanks for the info. At least someone can stick to the topic at hand.

We have both as well, Yorkie male and female maltese. We have had chelsey for one month now and she is a sweet heart. There is a lot of grooming involed but so far I bush her twice a week but again that is because of the shampoo we use. If not I would have to brush her everyday. They are very pron to matting more then yorkies . My first maltese I had to brush her everyday. If I missed it we would have to give her a not so nice trim.

"My maltese is more difficult, he barks more , is aggressive, grooming a maltese is a major commitment..much more so that grooming a yorkie. Maltese are know for being sweet natured but mine is not...he's a one person dog"

LoL, I think we have the opposite, Chester barks a lot and is very hypper but he is still sweet . The barking drives me up the wall. latly he has been getting a bit better. Maybe because of chelsey who knows. Malese are a lot of work if they run loose in the rain there coat holds a lot more water and you better dry them off quick as well as brush right away or you will have a big problem on your hand with matts. Chelsey is sweet as an angel an does not bark at all or not yet.... cross fingers

Okay, no more insults please and since the original question was answered this thread will be closed. No matter who is at fault, let's please try to be civil. There's more important things going on to be bashing any YorkieTalk member at all. Thanks!
