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!
@@MeganGraham nyo
So true ,I had three Yorkie lost my second girl this year need to find a yorkie to love.
What you said about your yorkie so true with lots of love.
I have just got a tiny girl
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.
He sounds wonderful!
😂😂😂😂
I don't live with a Yorkie but I'm thinking of someday soon...they are fierce and adorable....
I had a Yorkie. They are smart. She learned to not bark or potty in Apartment. Also ignored other dogs. Oh how I miss her.
I think that grooming is not really a con, because those 10 minutes are always special! ♥😘
That is a fantastic way to look at it. I agree, but wanted to present it as a con, because there are so many people that may feel differently, and it would be too much work for them:)
Me too I see it like that. It's such a beautiful moment that solidifies the bond 🥰🥰
definitely is a con if they growl and snap at you for trying to brush.. my pup is only 5 months old but for whatever reason gets aggressive with the brush 😬😓
@@animeluver22113 maybe this brush hurt him?
@@Ro-wu7lw no she is just naturally fiesty she snaps when she doesn't want something 😅 but as bossy as she is she is still a very sweet and loving dog
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. 🙏🏼🤙🏼
Being a Yorkie owner I'll tell you the biggest con is when your little ones grow old and eventually die its the hardest most difficult pain, like losing your children.
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.
I love them, but do want to discourage people who will not keep them. I don't want them to end up in a shelter.
@@MeganGraham 😢
I had a Yorkiepoo for 14 years.
I rescued him.
Some of your statements were very true.
Thank you for this information and your site is wonderful.
Thank you
I just adore your videos! Such a calming time spending, and yes! Everything you mentioned is absolutely right with my 2 Yorkies Polly and Rumi.
Hi Christine:). Thank you so much. I love it when people say that my videos are calming. It is nice to have something relaxing and calming on in the background sometimes:). Hello to Polly and Rumi ❤️💕❤️💕
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 sure wish I could get mine fixed too!
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. 🥰
Loved this. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Spot on advice! Had 9 yorks, luv em so much. Very worth all the training time. Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you. This was immensely helpful.
Thank you!
So glad I came across your video! I'm on my way to retrieve my Yorkie and this was so helpful! Thank you for posting🙂
Yay!!
I'm thinking about getting a Yorkie next summer. This has been very helpful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, that was so nice of you!
Love your videos. I have a morkie. Maltese yorkshire terrier mix. You give awesome information. Thanks Linds
Thank you!
Highly informative and very honest. ❤️🐶❤️
Thank you!
Great video, absolutely agree with you…thanks for sharing. Kind regards 🇨🇭
Thank you so much for your kind words:)
Your info is very beneficial and appreciated. Thanks
Thank you:)
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!!
Hi Linda:). I feel exactly the same way, I can't even imagine my life without a yorkie. 3 sure is a lot, but I do love them all so much:). Thank you so much for your kind words about my channel. It is so fun to share my videos, and get to meet people (on here) from all over the world! ❤
I have a Maltipoo who I love. Just got my first Yorkie and he is 5 months old and not a barker at all. However my Maltipoo is and does the barking for him. He is everything else you described and I love him so much. Is the barking something that comes later? My vet and groomer also commented how lucky I am because he is so calm and quiet. Love my Yorkie to pieces! 💕
Your video is bang on! All the pros and cons. Mine are almost 5 and your absolutely right, with potty training..
They are so wonderful, and I’m not complaining about the breed… But I just think it’s important for people to know the ins and outs . Because a lot of people don’t research and they get a dog not knowing the pros and cons. Thank you so much for taking the time to say hello and to comment.
Thank you I just got a yorkie pup and I love her and I actually knew nothing about her just that she needed a home so I really didn’t like the situation she was in so I bought her anyway, so thank God your here to help me!
Thank you!
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.
All very true:)
Great video. Difficult potty training and character impressions were spot one with our 2 yorkies. They just flunked out of doggy kindergarten for not (scared) interacting with other dogs. But on walks they are very friendly. Working on more/better socialization. Had cats before because of wife allergy (cat was adopted away) but Yorkies are not a problem. Keep up the videos!
🖤
I had 3 as well. Loved them dearly! And miss them since they have all gone to the Rainbow Bridge❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry that they have all crossed over the rainbow bridge. It is so very hard:(
100 percent you nailed it, everything you said has happened to me with my Yorkie
Awesome and thank you!
This is such a great learning tool! Thank you so much. I am falling in love with Yorkies but I have to go into owner with eyes open before pulling the trigger in a purchase. Just starting to research and you are an amazing source!
I am so glad!
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 ! ♥️
This happened to me as well when I first got my Yorky. I did not brush them for a long time and then when I took him in for grooming they shaved him. It was awful.
❤
I have two yorkies, this is so spot on! They’re both super hard to toilet train. But they’re so cute you can’t get mad at them 🤗
Yes they are!
I have been watching all of your videos Megan and have learned so much from you. My Yorkie baby was born last Monday and I’m so excited! She’s not going to be my only dog as we already have a Toy Poodle but she will be my first Yorkie. Can hardly wait! 😊
Congratulations! That is so exciting!
My Yorkie puppy didn’t like my 3 old poodles and she picked out the most submissive one to bite for absolutely no reason, and She wouldn’t let go.
Now as an only dog she is the light of my life. She is so smart. We went to puppy classes and had a trainer come to our house to help over come the terrorist part of Yorkies. She now trains everyone to do what she wants, when she wants it. She rules the house and we love her, she is our baby.
Thank you for your honesty
You are welcome:)
Thank you for sharing your video on Yorkies. I have a 4 yo. She rules the roost. She’s my little companion. I hope you have more videos on Yorkies.
My pleasure! They are awesome (and bossy) little creatures
Just got my Yorkie puppy and so far everything you said is true, now I do own a Husky they play so much and love each other ❤
SO sweet
I’ve had three and they are wonderful!
Yes:)
I get my first girlie and dog in general this March when she turns 7 weeks, I’m so excited
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.
OMG! Your dog is a true hero:). That is such a beautiful story!
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.
So true
Just got a Yorkshire Terrier and love him
Congratulations! They are the best!
Megan! We have 2. They completely steal hearts! Ours love to play vigorously with each other. With grooming: In our opinion, letting Yorkies’ hair get long makes them look a bit like slobs. Great video! 💛
Hi Glen, that is so wonderful that the clap stops their barking.
It doesn’t work for my dogs, but I have a feeling it would probably work for most!
I prefer short hair as well, but I have seen some great looking, long-haired Yorkshire terriers. it all depends on how someone grooms them, and trims the hair.
I agree with you totally. My first Yorkie. I wish, I knew about your channel before I bought my Yorkie. Love him but a lot of work.
Thank you so much. They are, but also so worth it.
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
❤️❤️❤️
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!
Isn't it amazing how different they all are? All of mine have been so unique as well:)
Sophia, I am debating whether to put my Yorky down (he was born in 2005). He has lost his eyesight and most of his earing. With all the Yorkies u have owned, did any lose its eyesight (I am wondering if it's a common trait), and did u have to put any down? Thanks
@@samantha1054 Hi there, if your Yorkshire terrier is still is healthy other than the eyesight in the hearing, he could definitely still be enjoying his life. I think that when the time is right to put your dog down, it’s not usually a debate, you just firmly know that it’s the right thing to do. I hope you don’t mind my advice but I don’t think it’s the time for you, otherwise he would feel really sure about it. Sending you positive thoughts, and so glad to know that there are such caring owners like you out there.
@@MeganGraham Thank you for the advice. We have been together since his birth. It really hurts. But u are right, I will know when it's time.
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.
Happy Thanksgiving! She sounds wonderful
Ihave been a Yorkie owner for 10+yrs.iam a senior of 64 yrs.they are stubborn and it can be difficult to train thembut i never had a problem to pottytrain but I am still saying to"go potty ", toat 9 yrs.old Yorkie .iknow all of the pros and cons. .you have to train for life.ihave hard wood floors which make it great.they are yappy little dogs minds bark at the mailman UPS,guys.Amazon people but iwouldnt take anything for Yorkies.
Great presentation.
Thanks for watching
We have a Yorkie terrier so much love 💕
So much love is exactly right!
You’re awesome thanks
You're welcome!
THERE ARE NO CONS WITH OUR BEAUTIFUL YORKSHIRES!!!!!! LOVE IS LOVE MEGAN
Hi, nice all caps.... there are cons. I bring them up so that people who would not love them unconditionally do not buy them. THANKS
Great video my yorkie puppy that just turned 1 is awesome spartacus he Is pretty mellow but yes house training hard everything pretty much I agree!
House training is sooooo hard
Thank you very much!
Welcome!❤️❤️❤️
Your Yorkies are absolutely gorgeous 💚
Thank you:)
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.
Such a caring mama:) It means so much to me when I hear how kind you guys are to your babies. Treating them the way they deserve:) ❤❤
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 ❤
It's great that you feel that way. I think there are cons, and I don't mind them...nut I share them so people that would be bothered by them do not buy yorkies that will later be rehomed.
I like that you mention the barking issues. Would like to know if there is anything that I can do to stop the barking when someone comes to the door.
Try filling an empty can with pennies and shaking it when they bark and saying no. Eventually they will dislike it so much you can just show them the can.
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!
wonderful!
I have one male has 3 months old i love himvery mucht is is very sweet, i love your video a lot, thanks for your advices about this breed .
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. All true.
You’re welcome:)
Ive had one for many years (still do) and everything ypu stated rings true in my case.....
Some people get upset about the cons...I don't mind them at all...but I always share them in case someone would be upset about these traits. They are such special babies that deserve a permanent home.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your help it was really helpful to finalize my decision which is not getting a one As I already have a Chihuahua and she’s super territorial and jealous so it wouldn’t be a good combination thank you so much for your help God bless you
I am so glad that this video was of help to you. You should be proud of yourself for being to thoughtful about whether bringing home another pet is a good idea. I wish more people were ❤️❤️
great video had two yorkies Cali and Bentley had to put them both down Cali was my dog she gave me so much love lived 14 years I,m 68 cried for weeks still grieving. She was the boss great watch dog , your right on the money on what you know about yorkies.
I am so sorry for your loss:(. Maybe there is another special yorkie out there waiting to be adopted by you?
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 🤣)
Your puppy sounds so cute:). I agree with so many of those things. I have lots of videos in my yorkie playlist that talk about my yorkies if you'd like to know about make and female yorkies living in the same house:)
My family just got a Yorkie Pomeranian so information helps a lot
I'm glad it is helpful to you:)
My other yorkie never barked when he passed we got two now one barks all the time! How do you feel about a bark barx the one that has a sound?
Hi there, sorry I’ve never heard of that I’m not sure what it is.
Thanks good to know🤗 I'm looking at which breed I want this helps🤭
Thank you
Hi! Thanks for this video!, I'm thinking on getting a Yorkie, but not sure just because I have a 9 months old Husky mix, and he is 65lb, you think will be a good mix there?
I honestly don’t think that I would combine the two. I know that huskies can be very sweet dogs, but there’s also always an unknown factor. So I don’t think I would mix the two because of yorkies are so small. It could be dangerous for the smaller dog.
I agree!! We adore our yorkie but for me my biggest con is her smell. Is that an issue for you? I guess the weekly baths would help! Our vet told us not to do that but I think I need to because her smell is so strong😩 Also, did you have to train your yorkies not to chew anything that wasn’t their toy?
I think a weekly bath with gentle shampoo should be ok:)
Will be getting one next week hope I can do it right with her
I’m sure you can. It looks like you’re doing your research to do your absolute best!
I have five now. They are so funny and make great little companions.
So cute! They really do!
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.
Thank you so much. I hope to deter anyone who would be mad about the cons (so that all yorkies may have a forever home:)
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 ❤
I love her name so much ❤️. I am so sorry that you are grieving. It is so hard to lose your best friend❤️
Adding a lil fire hydrant to middle of large pad made a huge difference! We live in an RV and had to keep them in with crocodiles in Florida.
That’s a great idea! We use a small, orange plastic cone. We are currently traveling full time in our rv❤️❤️
I have a Yorky he is almost 6 months old. His name is pistol and I love this little guy with everything in me and he loves me. He does great on potty training. He does great on not barking. I just love him so much he is the best dog I have ever had, he is my baby for real
He sounds terrific:)
Love this I have 3 .
❤️
Perfect
Thank you@
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 😬
Mine do the same with the bathroom and watch the door til I'm done, even for a shower. I think they know its a vulnerable time.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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
There is always the exception and I’m so glad that you have such an awesome puppy. Sounds like a super super great example of the breed :-)
You described perfectly, My Yorkie ( 10 months old) is Ms. Friendly, exactly as you describe and doesnt back. My poodle is a super barker
My mom just got a Yorkshire terrier and he’s adjusting to our Havanese . He’s a very good boy so far I just sent this information to my mom 😊
Thank you:)
@@MeganGraham you’re welcome
Hi Megan! Do you give your Yorkies any supplements to get their beautiful thick coats?
I give them the Poli Pet products which are in my links, but they were also bred to have those coats, so they are partially genetic too:)
Thank you so much! They are beautiful! I have a male and female and I absolutely in love!
You're welcome, I love to help you guys with info:)
Very informative! Thank you. We currently have a 2 year old female mini schnauzer (spayed) but we have been researching and looking at adding a male yorkie puppy our family. Our mini schnauzer is rather small and well socialized. We don’t want her to be an only child for too much longer but we think a male may be best so they don’t compete. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I think a male and a female together would be a great balance.
I have similar dogs too! Except I have a Male Mini Schnauzer and a Female Yorkie. They are great together.
I’m on my third Yorkie, Marley Grace ❤️
She was my heart saver when I lost my first Yorkie, Fergie at 16 😢 then her first born Son Bailey Boy! 😢
This little girl is my life, I think I learned a couple things about Yorkies wouldn’t have her different in anyway ❤❤❤ she’s the combo of all three!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was super helpful! I'm looking into Yorkies but the carpet I can't change and that makes me nervous
That sounds like a difficult situation.
awwww, such sweet babies! we are thinking of getting a yorkie, but the lack of house training is a bad thing for my husband lolol so i guess i'm going to have to leave my dream of a yorkie behind! xox
They can be so naughty
Everything you’ve said is true!! They’re the best. My Poupoune lived to 15. She was the boss in the house. It’s only been 2 weeks and it has been very hard without her with us.
I am so sorry for your loss:(
I’m sorry 🐶 I will keep you in my prayers. I lost my Barney 🐶 two months ago.
Articulated quite well. Very useful clip….
Thank you very much. I do have fun making these videos:)
Meghan, I had questioned the need to bathe a York's weekly. You are Right. I have since received advise concurring with you. My apology for questioning your advise. I stand corrected. Keep loving those Yorkies!!! ❤
Oh my goodness, please don’t ever feel bad about asking a question. That’s some thing that all of us can do, respectfully and kindly just as you did.
And truthfully, for the answer to most questions it’s always… It depends. It depends on the environment, the shampoo, the dog… Basically everything. Thank you so much for your beautiful comment, but you never need to apologize for asking questions. It’s a very healthy thing to do in life.
Yes you hit all of the good and bad things! Mine gets really carsick and it makes me feel so bad. Any suggestions?
Join me on live soon for more info:)
Yes

What would you suggest to help a Yorkie puppy learn to walk with our other small dog (mini-poodle)?
How old is the puppy? And does it have any training.
I don’t think I would’ve ever been able to just take a puppy out and walk it with my older dog. Usually have to do some training on its own, and then eventually can walk them together once the puppy knows more
Thanks for the informative video. I am thinking about rescuing a young Yorkie. How much do your dogs weigh? Are they considered tea-cups, or standard? Thanks.
4-5 pounds. There is no such thing as a teacup❤️❤️
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?
Yes, yorkies can have different types of hair.
That was such a great and well explained video! I have an Abyssinian cat (2 y/o) and he used to live with a big dog (Doberman x German Shepherd) but he's my ex so when he left, he seemed a bit lonely & bored and since he HATES other cats, I thought about getting a Yorkie. Did it take time for your cat to get used to it? Thank you! x
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.
@@MeganGraham I see what you mean, thank you for the reply!
I have one Yorkie and one Yorkiepoo who is a half brother! I love them to death and want to say there are so many pros and there aren’t many cons! They are so intelligent and understand anything that I tell them and granted they do control the household but I wouldn’t have it any other way!❤️❤️
They sound wonderful!
What do you think about neutering a boy yorkie? Mine is 9 months old.
I would always neuter.
Thx 4 the comment they ar nearly all treu! I now have 1 yorkie Ashley 8 years and 1 biewer Fibi 2 years my first yorkie was 8 en my 2de 13
❤️
Thanks a lot! Two weeks ago, I got 8 yrs. old tea cup yorkie. Any information is valuable to me.
congratulations!
@@MeganGraham Thanks!
Spot on but I love my little puppers
I'm glad!
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).
Great info!
Nice to hear. With all dogs socialization is so important in the early age. If it is not done other dogs feel like threats and the aggressiveness is of fear.
Hi Megan, I love your Yorkie videos and of course love those fur babies. I am about to get another Yorkie but he is so little (less than 1 pound at 12 weeks) and will be 2-3 lbs as an adult. So I am really struggling with a decision about vaccines. Your puppies look pretty little as well…. Any advice?
I can't tell you what to do, but I separate mine. I also prefer holistic vets who are less likely to over do it.
I agree
💕❤️💕
Dont know if i am up for crazy barking and difficult house training. I do love the breed.
It is a great breed, but may not be right for you❤️
I have a yorkie mix and the personality traits came through 😂 she’s slightly easier to groom which is nice and loves other dogs (must be the mix part). Overall though this described my dog
Some yorkies get along really well with other dogs. My Teddy certainly did!
hello do you have a link as to where to obtain a Yorkie as the ones you have or do you yourself breed them?
I do not
I have a Yorkie and her name is moon .. but she is currently constantly falling sick and doctored are driving me crazy , with food and pain and falling becos of imbalance .. can you help me with this ?
I can't diagnose your dog. I would test my house for mold (if it were me) with an ermi test from envirobiomics, get a holistic vet, and I would do a pet detox : proven.pet/MEGANGRAHAM
(I use this one) MEGANGRAHAM gets 10 percent off.

My yorkie is 2 months old and I was wondering what kind of tooth brush and paste you use. This is my first yorkie
Hi there, I have them listed in the description (below ) of this video:)
