I’m so glad that I’m not the only one with a territorial, barky, feisty yorkie!! She starts fights with all the neighborhood dogs and my two other dogs! She’s my favorite little girl on the entire planet and I wouldn’t have her any other way, I hope she lives to be 20! Thank you for making this video. She was an unexpected addition to our family and I didn’t know what to expect. I was very surprised by how tiny and fierce she is!

You are definitely not the only one! Today I took all three to the park and this girl came running at me with her little dog and she was like I’m going to say hi and I was like no no no no no! They are not friendly please still come up to us. It’s also hard because everybody just assumes that they are friendly because they are small, and they are far from it!

My Yorkie never goes potty inside the house and he doesn't bark at all. However, even in his older age (9 years) he still absolutely loves to play. I mean, you cannot play enough with him. He's also extremely sweet and wicked smart. Something about him just completes my heart. A great companion and a best friend.

True, and I know what you’re saying. However, I make this video so that people understand all the different aspects of the Yorkies. I’m really working to educate people so that people that would give them up or abuse them or treat them poorly will realize that they have traits that they may not like before they get them. I really make these videos to protect Yorkies. You might not think that they are negatives, but trust me some people will.

I have a yorkie and haven’t had many of these issues. My dog is friendly with all her dog and cat friends. You don’t have to groom them that often if you don’t keep the hair long. The first year was the hardest for potty training and after that it’s been almost perfect. Their bladders are tiny so it takes awhile. Don’t be discouraged by these cons…they are the best small dog with big dog attitude.

You've nailed the yorkie breed. I've got a 5 year old male and he's so sweet but over the top territorial. I did find it interesting with what you had to say about potty training. Mine was a year old when I decided to get him fixed because he continued to mark out of spite. Surprisingly after he got neutered he hasn't had a single "accident" in the house. In fact he goes to the back door and lets you know he needs to go and if he has to poo he'll bark once. He's incredibly intelligent. Love my little guy.

I have a 13 year old Yorkie that I adopted when her mommy passed. She was never able to successfully potty train her, though she is doing remarkably well in her new home. Her mommy was beating herself up because her baby wouldn't potty train. Then she joined some Yorkie goups online and leaned that she was not alone. Comments from owners confirm that Yorkies are difficult, if not impossible to potty train. So congratulations! Your baby is the exception and you can bask in the knowledge that he is exceptional. 🥰

I enjoyed your video. I can tell you are an experienced Yorkie owner because everything you covered is spot on. They are tiny companions with an oversized personality. They are the best entertainment you will ever invest in. They are very loving and love to cuddle and sit on your lap. When they are young there is nothing more they would like to do than play. They would rather play than eat.. As they age, like humans they settle down. Yes they like to bark and no they are not afraid of anything no matter how big it is. Always keep them on a leash around other dogs because they will not hesitate to attack a rotweiller or pit bull. As you mentioned, they are extremely social. They will come up to anyone and seek love and attention. I would not consider that a con but some folks are not animal lovers and do not want a dog around that tries to jump into their lap or scratch their leg for attention. My Yorkies always did this with visitors. Some liked it and other visitors did not. You will never find another dog breed with as much personality as a Yorkie. Yorkies Rule.

I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video and I really appreciate your kind words. I agree, Yorkshire terriers are wonderful companions and yes… Keeping them on a leash and a close one at that is very important. I’ve heard of many accidents with small dogs. to me, there’s nothing better than a Yorkshire terrier! I simply bring up the cons so that people that would not like those habits. Do not get a Yorkie and then give it up. I want them to have the most wonderful lives ever!

Please ask the person who bred her to hold her for longer. In most cases it is ILLEGAL to bring home a yorkie till 8 weeks. That said, you should never bring one home till 12 weeks. I would question the "breeder" you are buying from. Anyone that cares about yorkies would not send them home that early. I do say this many times in my videos.

I totally loved your video! I had a male Yorkie (Twister) who was literally 1 month from turning 20 when he passed. After a couple of years of grieving, I got a female Yorkie (Mallory). Twisters was a "mama's boy" but Mallory was the baby in the family and boy did she take advantage of that. But, in 2018, I became even closer to her as she somehow detected I was having a heart attack while I was asleep and she continued to bark as if hurt, which woke me and that's when I realized I was in trouble and sought medical attention. About three weeks ago, I got another female chocolate Yorkie (Piper) and I can tell she's a sweetheart two. She is almost 3 months and full of energy. Right now, Mallory is still adjusting to Piper's energy. I should add, that Mallory just turned 11. But, they have their loving moments and I know they will draw closer as Piper calms down. I will definitely subscribe to your channel as I LOVE everything Yorkie. Mallory and Piper are barkers, but they both seem to be very friendly to others.

I am so glad you talked about what most yorkies, (we have had 4) are really like. I would also like to add that they don’t love to be left at home by themselves for long periods of time, they can get very anxious, they are really the wrong bred to have if you are planning on leaving them for long periods of time. Also, this is soooo important, along with their daily grooming they need their teeth brushed, they are known for having teeth issues and this can cost you a lot of money at the vets.

Thank you for sharing such an informative video. I have wanted a Yorkie for many years, but my schedule prevented. One of the blessings of Covid is I now work from home so I won’t have to leave her home for long periods of time. My husband plans to gift him/her for my birthday. I’m not sure which is better male or female. Your dogs are beautiful!

Thank you Megan for this very informative video. I am a senior woman living on my own in a studio apartment. I am thinking very seriously about having a 4 mo old Yorkie. I think he would work for me as i want / need to get outside and walk. I am also lonely and I think he would be an excellent companion. But i am worried about the barking . I have until tomorrow (may 30) to decide . Wish me luck ❤

Hi there, I think with one Yorkshire terrier you will be fine with the barking. For reference, my dogs do not do much of their barking inside my apartment. The only time that they would bark is if somebody knocks on the door or right when someone comes in. From day-to-day inside the apartment they are actually quite quiet. They do sometimes bark when they see other dogs outside, actually mine in particular, always bark, but when I only had one, he actually didn’t do this as much. I think you’ll be OK and you’ll have a wonderful companion.❤️

Terrific video. I’m surprised how different my teacup male’s personality (passed last years) is from my new puppy that is a standard size female. But both have trademark Yorkie traits. I fall in love with a yorkie in 5 minutes, such a nice breed.

I have had yorkies, all my life. I have had a total of five, throughout the past twenty years. Yorkies, can be trained (actually the owner needs to learn how to train their dog) to not bark, and if you get what's called the "puppy cut" - you don't need to groom your yorkie every day. With the puppy cut (even for older yorkies), their hair stays very neat and tangle-free between grooming. The pros you mention are true, and the cons you mention can easily be overcome. Also, all the yorkies I have had, and have one now, Milo, are very friendly with other dog breeds and sizes. Milo, of course, prefers to be just with me or other humans over dogs. I don't suggest yorkies be in a household with kids under the age of five, yorkies are fragile, and if a child accidentally drops the yorkie, the fall can cause permanent damage to the yorkie (I know this unfortunately as a fact).

Well I may be biased since I have a Yorkie Maltese mix but some of these rang true for me and others not. He definitely is very barky with anyyyy little noise like the Ring going off or someone outside talking however he is the most friendly little guy with all people,kids and dogs he meets. He is 100% more on the submissive side when it comes to fights (other than the cat!!! ). He is extremely clingy and even if you move an inch he hops up and is ready to go. I’d say training is an absolute must with any dog especially with little dogs since people seem to forget that because they are little. I groom him myself and it is A CON since most yorkies aren’t the best for grooming! However I’d love to see a video on having both male and female yorkies in the house as I hope to add to my pack within a few years and I’d loveee to have a little girl but hesitant about dominating or humping (he’s neutered but I’d like for him to have a sister not a girlfriend 🤣)

Penny can. I never thought of calling it that. In my case, I was able to train my late Yorkie with an Empty RockStar Can filled with about 20 pennies. Every time he barked, I would shake it. Took a few days. He lived to 18 and rarely did he bark.

I have a Yorkie and have had him for over a year now and I agree with everything you said but also wanted to add that surprisingly my Yorkie and pitbull (both males) get along great and play constantly when they are together! He barks at everything and when one of my kids cry he cries with them even louder. He is always by my side, and follows me around constantly. I cannot even go into the bathroom without him barging in the exact second the bathroom door closes 😅 Oh and I am so glad I watched your video because he STILL has too many "accidents" in the house and I didn't even know that they were this hard to train to potty outside 😬

My yorkie lived for 16 wonderful years. She was very easy to potty train. She would not go in the house, even if she stayed home by herself for an entire work day. She was very smart and would wait for us to be home before she had anything to eat or drink because she knew that eating and drinking would make her go to the bathroom. Only on her last 6 months she started to have accidents. One thing my yorkie had was a luxating patella. She had corrective surgery when she was about a year old and never had problems later on. I love the breed and miss having my girl around. Someday I will have another one as they are wonderful and loving companions.

My senior husband and I just surprizingly acquired a seven month old yorkie (possible) mix. Wow, our world has been rocked and turned upside down. We have an elderly Jack Russel that is tolerating her. So glad I found your videos, they are calming me down and Brandy seems to like also. Help! We thought we wanted another small dog before Chelsea passes, but we honestly did not know of this temperament. She is a sweetheart and kisses me awake, but then she is everywhere all at once and I can’t catch her. We’ve had her two days 😮

My Yorkie Rudi (11 months) is such a Mr.Friendly He is like "every dog is my best friend" even when that dog just ran over him :'( But he is an exception, and its flattering to hear people compliment about his friendliness wherever we go A person from my agility training class even said that he was the most friendly yorkie she had ever met He did go to puppy class and first level obedience class, where he had to do various command when he was around other dogs, and stayed quiet, so I guess he is used to that from a young age. But I do think this is also a personality thing, as I see many small dogs who loves to bark at every single dog passing by My friend has a very small Poodle, and her favorite pastime is to sit on the balcony and bark and every dog walking downstair

Hi Meghan, thank you for your All the information about Yorkies. I really appreciate it. I recently started watching you talk about Yorkies. I have two Yorkies. They’re both girls. One of them is 14 years old. And the other one is seven months old. Full of energy. My question for you is do Yorkies come in sizes and do they have different kind of hair. I recently took my small Yorky to the groomer, the groomer said that her hair is different from the one that’s 14 years old. The one that’s 14 years old has always had nice soft hair. The seven month old one has really thick hair and it’s hard to maintain and brush. Have you had any Yorkies with different texture of hair?

I think it takes all animals quite a while to get used to each other. I recently has to stay with my mom and she has two cats....there's no way that I could make the yorkies get along with her cat in the 5 weeks I stayed with her, but I was able to get my male cat to get along with hers. Some animals could be friends in 6 months, and some may just learn to tolerate each other. My dogs really don't play with the cat and vice versa. They do seem to like each other though.
