| People definitely. It's partly my fault though because I really should've socialized her with dogs more when she was a puppy. She just isn't sure of them now, especially with the larger ones. She'll play, but sometimes she gets a little carried away and defensive. My neighbors just got a yorkie mix about 3 months ago and they get along great, so I'm excited for the summer so they can have "play dates." |

| I'm glad to see that your furbaby plays with cats, because Ethan does as well. Once i left my door open for him to run in and out because i was cleaning, and i returned to find him excurting a cat to his food, and he was being polite. I was too surprised to be up set... |

YT 1000 Club Member | KiKi definitely prefers people....she will totally ignore other dogs..we have had play dates with other Yorkies and she will just sit and ignore the other dog...but she will run up to other people on a walk or at Pet Smart...she just loves the attention....what a PRINCESS!!

| Its not just Eddie... Meka is the same way I take her to the monthly Yorkie Group meetups in our area and its always the same. When I put her down, the other pups are anxious to sniff her and play and she just doesnt want to be bothered sometimes even snaps at them. And she always comes running back to me, wanting me to pick her up. I too, feel I must have done something wrong with her socializing skills. We didnt start the meet up groups until she was 1 yr and a half and I sometimes think that maybe we should have been doing it much earlier. I do envy the other dogs that go and play with eachother...for I have never seen her actually play with another dog. Now people on the other hand, total different story. She goes crazy over anybody. Rolling and jumping around. Totally anxious to get their attention.

| Twinkle prefers people too! She is ok around smaller breed dogs (king charles spaniels, shihtzu's etc) but she's not too keen on bigger dogs, even though she's been socialised with lots of them. On the other hand, she loves all people.....luckily everyone she meets seems to love her too xxx

| oooh geez mine like people AND other dogs. my friend teresa came over a few weeks ago with one of her babies (gracie ruth) and my kids just went nuts, wanting to play with her and gracie. they kept kissing her, jumping in her lap, licking her toes, etc and i said, "teresa, i am sorry my kids are such wallflowers. i wish they would be less shy!" miss buffey and bree are the most interested in other dogs once they determine their human owner to be "safe" bentley is a total people person and would rather sit on someones lap and lick them to death than play with other dogs

BANNED FOR NOT SENDING A GE GIFT! | Doggy comfy Harry is a rescue, and for the first 7 months was pretty much on his own with little human interaction.....he is just now realizing that people are nice, and they have food too |
