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!

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.

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.

I think that grooming is not really a con, because those 10 minutes are always special! ♥😘

[aaronroibeard]

I always laugh at the “Cons” because I just never see the negatives when living with Yorkies. They are wonderful companions and worth every second. 🙏🏼🤙🏼

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.

There are zero cons to owning a Yorkie! They win you over with their cute awesomness and you change your ways to suit them because they're so wonderful. I love both of mine ❤

[bitkid]

I think your review of Yorkies is pretty much spot on. The only thing to include is to prevent jumping off the couch/chair as it will damage their back legs. Also this breed will change your life and become your best and close friend. Their loyalty is phenomenal. Subscribed.

[karentorkelson]

Wash her face and brush her teeth and brush her every morning. It’s a must. Love my Poppi. Everything you said was so true.

[lindagaber]

You are spot on! I have had five Yorkies in my life and presently have a little four pound sweetie that looks so much like your little ones. I agree with all your pros and cons of Yorkie behavior and I wouldn't or couldn't live with out one in my life. He is my little shadow and you my dear are a younger version of me. LOL Love your channel!!

[alisonjames]

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.

[francinel]

You are right on everything. My girl is 11 yrs old, thank God she's not the barking type and not stuburned at all, maybe because I am more than her. lol! She follows me like a magnet which I love and if she doesn't see me, she's going nuts! I love her.

[sophiemendez]

This was so interesting! I’ve had 4 Yorkies so far! 3 of them already passed away.
Those 3 Yorkies were exactly how you described them.

A few months ago I decided to get another Yorkie (4th one) and I was sure she would behave like my other Yorkies but she is completely different. She loves other dogs, she rarely barks, we managed to get her 90% house trained in 2 months… she is just sooo different!

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 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).

I've had 5 Yorkies as well. I've not had trouble with house training any of them. The other things you listed in the 'con' section have been true of all of them. They will bark like crazy at just about any sound; they are definitely territorial; all of them have been more than willing to take on big dogs & they all think they're the boss. They've also all been stubborn. On the other hand, they such wonderful little dogs & they're always able to put a smile on your face. Very cuddly & high energy levels.

THERE ARE NO CONS WITH OUR BEAUTIFUL LOVE IS LOVE MEGAN

[vivientallis-evans]

You’re spot in this video. My Yorkie is a mini monster with training and barking. We had to get rid of all carpets and rugs to get an easily cleaned surface.
She’s still the love of my life though.
I have strict boundaries with humans but Olive gets away with blue murder. I’ve no idea why but … she makes me so happy xx

[baekhorangie]

I just lost my yorkie a month ago, and watching this reminds me of her.. i miss her so much. I have another dog, but she was just so different.. It's like she had her own personality.. i will always love her. Her name was mini because she was mini sized ❤

[Tec]

You are exactly on point ! Especially the cons ! The barking is nuts and I learned the hard way not combing my yorkie once a day . She had to get all her hair shaved off, I felt so bad for her so now I make sure every single day I comb her . With that being said thank god for the pros ! It makes it off so worth it ! ♥️
