Mine are definetly human. They told me so.:D I love to rock them in my arms until they fall asleep.

Yorkies are NOT Dogs, just ask Rosi and Apollo :D

:sidesplt:

I will be 63 on Thursday, have had dogs all my life, raised 5 kids, and have 8 grandchildren. I KNOW sawyer is human . He knows exactly what I am feeling all the time, like he reads my mind. he is with me almost 24/7, and I would be lost without him. Just petting his soft little head gives me as much pleasure as when I touched my kids when they were babies. I think I have been a good Mom; at least my kids all say I was; and my grandkids think I'm the bomb; but my Sawyer is as close to complete joy as I have ever found on this earth,.:animal36 :animal36

What are you talking about...Teddi is not a dog! hee hee :)

lol i love reading all these stories.. so cute:) :)

I grew up with toy poodles who were like little humans, too, but Archie is the first dog I've ever had that was mine alone, so I am even more bonded to him than I was those wonderful family dogs. It's true -- Archie is like having a crazy two-year-old in the house: he doesn't come when called or answer to his name or respond to No!; he has pee-pee accidents and gets into things that he shouldn't. He also climbs up my body and onto my shoulder to take a nap when he is sleepy; snuggles close to me when he's playing with a toy; lays on his back and looks up at me adoringly; and stares anxiously at the door if I hand him to someone to hold and then leave the room. It really is a mother-child bond in so many ways -- I really do feel like I'm his mother! And, like moms of human kids, I get exhasperated with him plenty -- but I love him unconditionally. :)

Lola is the same way. I've had other breed dogs and they acted like "dogs".

Ssssh, don't say that too loud or else my 2 might hear you LOL, they think they are human, guess because we treat them so, when I got Victoria 7 years ago by son said he believed he was replaced by her LOL.

My husband gets jealous because when he comes in the door Tilula doesnt move, sometimes shes in the bedroom & doesnt bother coming to see who came in-but as soon as my tires hit the driveway she knows it & is pacing from windows to doors & just goes crazy. She will start running to everyone looking at them like "mom is home, how can you just sit there all calm! She just cant stand it, she gets so excited:p "I have to disagree about the human child part though because my kids dont leave their bedrooms for anyone or anything. Yorkies are better than kids haha:D

Today I was at a friends house and there were two little girls there. They put Riley in one baby doll stroller and Lily in another. They were just wheeling them around and the dogs just let them. It was too cute. My friend said her little dog would never let the girls do that. They really are like little human babies.

There is no doubt about it Yorkies are Human or little people trap in dog suits as my husband put it, believe me for my husband to say this it must be true, When I went from afghan hounds to yorkies he couldn't understand why I wanted a Yap Yap dog, when Ichabob came into our life he came in as a dog and some became our 4th Child he was no longer a dog, Wicket is the same way, they were and are treated, as little people, we do have common dogs, labs and a Jack Russell but they are dogs very much loved and pamper too but they do not have that special human trait, like yorkies do. maybe I am just crazy but if so I love it.:)

I agree! Bengi is a human with fur! gotta love it!!!!!! :D

i love this thread!!! Don't tell Cody he isn't human... may break his heart

O.K., so I stumbled on this very old thread. All I can say is that I totally agree and it made me feel better to read about others that feel their Yoriies are more like humans. I swear my doggie is not a dog. I don't know what she is, but all I know is that I have this amazing bond with her and it certainly isn't like a "regular" dog bond. She actually grooms me in the morning, she licks her paws then my fingers in bed. And she does it, with I SWEAR, this loving way. She is taking care of me after I take care of her by scratching her belly, her paws, her ears.

I just love this dog so much, I can't even explain it. She warms my heart every day and I love her!!

Bentley's mom
 

Oh well I was wondering if I had the only defected yorkie boy but I see he is perfectly normal after all..lol he acts so much like a toddler. He even comes to get me at 1:30 for his nap. I have to wrap him in his blanket and hold him until he goes to sleep and a lot of the time thru the entire nap..he is so picky about eating that he has too be spoon fed with his baby spoon and only out of his baby bowl and at super time has to sit at the table with ma and pa to eat or will pout until he gets his way..he want eat the same things for breakfast lunch and super it all has to be different and better not be what was for yesterday's meals.it is so bad I have a hard time finding what to give him and when and worry about if he is getting enough nutrition..if any one has any info on how to help with the picky eating I would love it.. I've tried the rice chicken vegetables he will only eat the chicken want touch it if anything else in it..same with the hamburger recipes.he didn't get this way until he got really sick,I still don't know what made him sick .I got laid off of work and couldn't take him to the vet, so an old retired vet friend that was a vet to exotic large animals gave me some antibiotics and helped me narrow it to a possibility of rancid deer that another dog drug up..the antibiotics helped him but he still not his self as far as eating and still not as active his pa says that probably was from lack of nutrition from not eating enough.we have to really keep on him and offering didn't things until we come across something he will eat..and everyone knows that yorkies can't eat just anything..so we find this exhausting and difficult..so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...and by the way Bentley is well mannered well behaved and no problems what so ever as to house broken.he is very smart at all these things..thanks for any help..

My husband and I are always saying: "do the puppies think they will grow up into humans?" Dexter is always standing on his back legs, and when we tell him to sit he puts his bottom on the floor but remains vertical with his 'arms' up. Gizmo is always trying to talk to me. They seem to be trying hard to be human.

they aren't human? lololol

Cocoa is the same way. I tell people all the time that she is more baby than dog. Now Chloe...she's Ms. Diva!

I completely agree. They are so tuned into us and our feelings. Gotta love 'em like babies!

Agreed. Fabian lets me hold him like a baby before bedtime as I sing him lullabies. Then he strokes my cheek. He's definitely my little valentine.

I've been saying it for years,

having a yorkie is like having a toddler.


Ya just gotta love these lil yorkies.

My beanie
 

I say that all the time, that she is more human than dog. She is a hybrid, LOL. I SWEAR she tries to talk to me, just like a baby does. Especially in the car, she is really vocal. When she isn't barking at some phantom dog, she is whining for treats and she uses sounds that are so strange. When we wake up, well when SHE decides it is time to wake up, she gives me "lovies", she rolls all over me and again, makes these sounds that are more like a baby than a dog.

I tell people all the time that she isn't a dog, but they just laugh at me and say I spoil her. I don't spoil her (well maybe - LOL), I just let her be who she is and that is some kind of dog/human. And I KNOW she understands what I say to her!!

"...like having a toddler..."

Yep, but with intelligence beyond the years of human toddlers...just amazing! All three of my Yorkie kiddos...same as described. We love it!

We tend to treat our Yorkies as our babies.
After being on dog sites on Facebook,
I tend to think, all real dog lovers treat their dogs as family members

It does appear, yorkie owners and owners of small dogs seem to dress them as dolls or babies.
This is just my honest opinion and not meaning to offend anyone that does dress their kids up.
I’m a real big guy,
I just couldn’t see myself dressing Dexter up in an outfit and having him ride shotgun with me on our trips to the store or bank etc.

I’m not doing this

Speaking of big guys with Yorkies, my father n law rides his motorbike with a group of older men and one of his friends has a yorkie. He has a little leather jacket and doggles for his Yorkie who sits in the 'front seat' in a harness attached to the guy when he rides. :D

Guess my point is, it's not really a gender thing. Hehe..
I personally don't dress mine up either. It's too much hassle with their long hair and having to walk them multiple times a day. :rolleyes:

They are just like children! I just look at other people walking their dogs effortlessly while I am struggling with all the pulling, barking and jumping of my Otto. At first I thought I was a failing as an owner but now I think all the other dogs are just boring.

My Otto thinks he is a human first and a German Shephard second.

I take my 12 pound kid for monthly allergy shots, my vet has donor cats walking around, Cody HATES cats mostly because one of the vets cats beat the heck out of Codys butt lol, so when he sees one of the cats he goes ballistic, he is always on my lap at the vets, and he's a handful to handle when he sees the cats, now I am in and out lol, Codys insanity sets all the dogs off lol.

I took Dexter to the vet the other day. I’ve never seen him so well behaved. There was a cat roaming around and six or seven dogs in the office at the time.

I agree both our yorkies Muffy and Tela act more like humans , they always want to be close to people and have feelings that are unexplainable , they seem to understand and express their emotions in such a way that only close parents can understand . I have not had any other kind of dog so closely attached as yorkies, love them all the way........
