Yorkshire Terrier Temperament - Yorkshire Terrier Facts

- In this video I talk about Yorkshire Terrier Temperament. The Yorkshire terrier is bold, intelligent and independent. Many people see a Yorkshire terrier for sale and think about getting a Yorkie puppy without finding out the Yorkshire terrier facts. They are not a purse puppy, or an accessory, they are tough little terriers with tons of personality and energy. As someone who has owned Yorkshire Terriers for the past 20 years (and had one as a pet as a child) I share my Yorkshire terrier breed information that I have learned. They are charming, spirited and energetic.

My 6 month old Nila matches a lot of what you described. She is loving & has such a human like personality. She’d be the worst watch dog, her tail wags for strangers & anything in her view lol. She can be very independent which I don’t mind but when I need her by my side she’s eager to please. These munchkins will steal your heart.
Good morning:). Nila sounds like the perfect companion. Yorkies make every single day better by making us laugh and smile, and being such wonderful company. When people tell me "they don't like small dogs" I tell them: "they must not know any yorkies yet:" Have a great day! Megan
I have a Maltese yorkie, any info about them
lol
So true my yorkie Ivan recently passed away but i babied him all 16 years and he controlled both me and my house! Love him and miss him everyday
I'm so sorry for your loss, but so glad you had a special dog like Ivan ❤️.
my jeff passed a week before christmas he was 16.2 years old. he had me trained well ! I miss him so...but i am thankful for every day with him...sorry for your loss too.
Omg they are so cute. I would give in. They would walk all over me. Literally and figuratively
They can be bossy. lol ❤️❤️
This is soooo true!! Very sweet very smart but also very stubborn 🤣 they are too smart for their own good. When you mentioned, they could train you rather than the other way around 😅 I felt that
They are so sweet, but soooo stubborn. I call them my "yorshire terrorists:). haha.
We had three. Now have two :(
They are amazing fun pups. Your words are spot on
Thank you
Lotus is our girl and all of my past Yorkies were boys. So different in comparison. You were spot on. I made the mistake after my boy Silas passed at 20yrs, to carry Lotus( our girl) around and never harness her so she doesn't like harnesses. Other than that, her behavior is great, her temperament is why I love her. She is an alpha girl but sweet, and is independent yet likes to cuddle at will.
I carried my Lola around in a carrier quite a bit, and now she’s not very used to other dogs. I totally get it.
I am so happy I stumbled upon this video while researching yorkies! I used to be a receptionist at a nail salon chain on a busy shopping street in Boston. I remember you being a client and you had such great sweet energy! Your positivity and aura made a great lasting impression on me. Your video was super informative and you have a new subscriber! Keep doing great things Megan! Kiana (me) & Sam are cheering you on!
I remember you! And you are just the same:). Wow, thank you for such beautiful and kind words❤️❤️❤️. Positivity breeds positivity. Sending you and Sam a hug 🌈🌈
i found you channel a few weeks ago and your tips and tricks mostly tips has been helpful...
Glad you like them!
Wow spot on
Thank you!
Thank you for the information. It was very helpful.
You're welcome:)
Beautiful and adorable
You are so kind
Good looking pups.. I’m blessed I have one sweet Yorkie..
Thank you so much!
So informative. I have dogs but none of them are this breed, yet I enjoyed this a lot! It was short, honest, relaxing and on point.
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it. Many of the things that I talk about apply to dogs in general. There are a few specific characteristics that the Yorkshire terrier has, but just about everything else carries right over. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and say hello :-)
@@MeganGraham yes, exactly. I have a dog and I think she is a terrier, in my country walking dogs is eligal, so we had to pick her up often, and to the point we couldn't take her out anymore, which it led to her being aggressive towards other humans. She is cute and fluffy which it makes it hard to keep people away from her..... it's very important to let dogs walk, meet other dogs, and communicate with other humans.
Another really informative video. Love seeing all of you. XO Mom
Thanks mom. The Yorkies make such great little models. 💕💕💕
Everything is so true lol my yorkie is adorable too ✨
Thank you!
I have a yorkie she is soo little and cute , she’s 12 months now and she is very shy However she barks a lot in garden at the siltiest sound
love you dogs they are lovey and your spot on about their temperament ❤️❤️
Thank you so much:)
Thank you for the info. I am considering purchasing a Yorkiepoo and this answers some questions for me.
Glad I could help
Your videos are amazing you earned a sub
Thank you so much, such a nice compliment.❤️
I have a 5 yo female Yorkie. She doesn't tolerate other animals; she sits in the corner, goes in the bedroom, or throws herself flat out on the floor; she won't fight or approach but she won't eat, drink, or come near when an animal visits. She has never growled, snarled, snapped at, or bit anyone (never known a dog to be like this). She much prefers humans but her favourite is the mailman b/c he gives her gifts through the mail slot! She knows when the mail truck is in the parking lot and runs to the door when she hears it. I wish I could post a video. She plays like a cat. She twirls in circles when excited. When she wants me to go to bed, she whines while carrying a toy in her mouth and walks back and forth between me and the bedroom.
She is so funny!
I have a bell on my Yorkie's collar so I don't step on him. I had one on my late Maltese and it really helped me to not step on him. I can hear every move he makes. He's gotten so used to wearing it that when I bathe him and have to take off his collar, he comes running when I shake the collar because he's so used to wearing it.
I had the same thing for Lola when she was a baby. After I accidentally shut her in the fridge I realized that I needed to keep better track of her because she was so tiny and silent. I wound up getting a cat collar and it worked very well.
@@MeganGraham Hi i just had to put my yorkie to sleep after 15 years. I missed him so much you think it is good for me to get another one right away or waite for sometime to greave .
@@juliabernard125 First of all, I am so very sorry for your loss. We love our yorkies with every ounce and fiber of our being, which makes losing them that much more painful. I lost my sweet boy Teddy two years ago and my hear aches for him. I got Alfie (my dog in the center of the video thumbnail) only 2 months after I lost Teddy and I think it is a good thing. I still grieved for Teddy even after getting Alfie, but it gave my heart some much needed joy. One dog will never replace another, but having some joy in your life is wonderful. I am thinking of you today. Please be gentle with yourself, and just take this loss day by day. I know how hard it is. Megan
@@juliabernard125 what are you 12
My son got a Yorkie puppy! He is extremely hyper and very playful! His name is Simba, I get to dog sit often and just love him so much 😀
He sounds so cute! You are so lucky that you get to dogsit I bet he loves his grandma:)
This is accurate I think I may have babied mines too much. He is so mouthy and does what he wants even after he is told NO. He acts very well whenever we go for walks he doesn't bark at other dogs even though they bark at him. He doesn't like when I'm talking on the phone or when I have company over....lol
Totally agree! I’m on the same boat myself 😂 wouldn’t say they are manipulative but they have a finesse and way to get what they want
I agree! Lola sits over my husband and I while we try to go to sleep, and does an almost silent demand/whine until she is able to nestle into her EXACT position. She can keep this up for 60 minutes (if needed).
thanks 😊
You are welcome:)
Great video ❤️
Thank you Beautiful:)
THANK YOU SO MUCH. JUST WAS GIVEN ONE. NOT SURE THD AGE OR NOTHING YET. I'M LOOKING FOR ANY VIDEOS THAT WILL HELP ME UNDERSTAND HER A LITTLE MORE..
I'm such a yorkie fan
likewise!
Hi, thank you for the video ☺️ i just got one my mother.
Was she happy?
@@MeganGraham yes! She loves the pup. 😄 Thank you very much for all the awesome videos, I am using everything I learned on my puppy 😁
Great video!
Thank you:). I'm glad it was helpful!
I just love your videos and think u are awesome I have 2 Yorkies now benji and tinkerbell we just got benji which I thought we was gonna change his name to smoky in my last comment I put that but we kept his name he so lovable and still exploring his new environment hiking everywhere so he has his waist band on inside we are trying to so hard to teach not to hike inside he is at 6 months but I know he will do just fine and if not we will have to understand we love him so much already my older Yorkie was Oreo he past at 9 so to me there nothing like a Yorkie pet they just become ur family furbabys just with 4 legs now tinker she at 4 months loves a bath but hates to be brushed she still learning also she our alfa Yorkie benji he just like Alfie loves to be held and loved on but she dnt like to be held a lot she run give u kisses all day and get love but stays on the go tysm for ur videos they are awesome again and u have some beautiful baby’s
Congratulations on your fur family, and thank you so much for the kind words! Lola hates to be brushed sooooooo much. I also almost changed Poppy's name when I got her (to Trixie) but I am so glad that I kept it. It really suits her!
They're so cute
Thank you! They are my best friends. They make me smile so much ❤️
I would love 1 of these or a bichon, I need to learn more first. Thanks for the info.
❤️
Ahhhh three cute dogs, yorkies are the best... hehehe... au au au 🐶🐶🐶
Yorkies really are the best, so playful and fun! I hope you’re having a great Sunday!
I have a cross yorkie/jack Russell and she definitely has the stubborn personality. If she doesn't want to do something I really have to put my foot down with her, and even then she will literally huff and puff. But she is the most loving, fast learning dog I have ever known.
You are a great owner:)
I have a 8 week old Yorkie (Lady Mimi) and she's already extremely feisty. Pray for us while training 😁😊
I love her name. Congratulations!
I have had 5 yorkies, I did tend to carry them as the were my therapy animals. It is too hot to let the walk on asphalt or concrete in 80 to 100° weather. As with snow I am not going to let them walk in chest high snow or on snow melt chemicals. I did walk them and play when it was suitable and have indoor tubes and obstacles course. I don't let them bark or develop food aggression, and socialize properly. I was serious about a reputable breeder. The last two I know have either died or moved away. It is hard to find someone with good breeding, consistency and not be in bred or the moms bred too many times. I have adopted females rather than let them be bred again. I love this breed and my asthma loves them too.
Yorkies are cats in dog suits. Our Yorkie stole our hearts. Daisy is well trained and very sociable with other dogs her size. She is stubborn when it comes to eating, she eats on her terms.
She sounds amazing!
Hello Megan! Have a 7 year old yorkie that we have had for almost a month now. Her name is Mia! I will be doing a video very soon on my channel where I giver her a massage and comb her out every night....It’s so amazing to watch. She’s spooled, but in a good way! 🥰. Mia is our third Yorkiebut she is our only one right now....We love this breed! Thank you for everything you share! I really enjoy watching your videos 😎
That’s wonderful! Congratulations!
Hey there, thanks for that great information. I am in my 60s and I’ve had several dogs throughout my life but right now I do not have a dog. I was thinking as I usually get small dogs that are Yorky being hypoallergenic and small enough to pick up would be a good dog for me… I do understand about starting from the very beginning, letting my dog know that I am the dominant in the household and I definitely do the thing with the food that you suggest. I think it’s good for them to know who gives the food and that you give it out when you want to. I’ve been watching some of the videos that Cesar the dog whisperer has been putting out about training dogs and those are really helpful.
I was just curious if you know any Yorkies that are good and social with other dogs or do they always kind of like to be alone and do not prefer to socialize with other dogs? I thought that might be an interesting piece of information to add to your video just in case someone is hoping to get a Yorky and bring it to other peoples houses where there might be dogs and children etc.
Thank you so much. Have a great day.
I think that there are lots of Yorkies that really enjoy being with other dogs. It just depends on the dog, but especially if there’s only one and you socialize it really well it should be just fine.
Your description of Yorkie temperament sounds accurate to me. My first Yorkie, Zeus didn’t like his feet touched, was aggressive around food, was possessive of toys & me, and would bite the brush when I tried to groom him. Our Vet told me to rub his feet several times throughout the day to get him use to it and to pick up his bowl while he was eating so he would learn not to be aggressive around food. When he would get aggressive with our other puppy, the Vet told us to pick him up by the scruff of his neck to calm him because that’s what a mother dog would do. He turned into a very patient dog during grooming so I was able to keep his hair long his entire life. He remained somewhat nippy with the other dog around food/toys, but fine with people until he lost most of his hearing & sight. He was never aggressive with me though. He was a very special little guy. I now have a girl that looks a lot like him and has all of his wonderful, Yorkie characteristics without the negative ones. Ziva has her own unique personality while retaining everything I love about the Yorkie breed. In two weeks we will be bringing home an adorable little boy. I can’t wait to discover his individual quirks!
I love how you are so respectful to your dogs personalities. Just like people they do have their quirks, but I think that we can learn how to speak their love language… And how to be gentle with them and to make them happy all while still being “the alpha dog”.
You shine in this video. Relaxed and enjoyed info on your little darlings. Lynnie
Thank you so much, I swear I could talk about my little dogs all day. I just love them so very much :-)
Yorkers are down to play and have fun 24/7. I’ve never seen any other breed of dog love Toys so much and love playing catch. They are excellent watch dogs, and extremely loving. There’s a reason they are in demand so much. Their temperament far exceeds their looks in my opinion. The only negative I can think of is that they usually bark at children.
They really are the very best!
My yorkie ( mr squeakers ) is 2yrs old and weighs 15 lbs. The breeder explained occasionally one will hold to the original genetics and she called them "big boys". He's not fat and solid muscle. One day we were on our porch and the neighbors 60lb pitbull got away and came up 5 steps onto our porch. Mr squeakers charged the pittbull bit him on the face knocked him down the steps onto his back and started biting his hind quarters. Thank God the pittie was a sweetheart of a dog, and we got them apart easily. I was shocked because he's an affectionate litte guy. Who would have thought.
Oh my gosh! What a story!
I just wish I had seen your blog two years ago, because it is to late now, bella my tea cup yorki is a monster she rules the house and rules me ,she is more demanding then my ex-wifes "but I love her more."
It is never too late:). Dogs can learn at any age, they just take a bit longer:)
I am about to get Gucci (my yorkie) from the breeder in 7 weeks and I am very excited! I am preparing for him coming home. Question, how often do I need to brush his teeth? Any suggestions for what toothpaste or toothbrush to use? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you .
Daily is best if possible:). Check the links in my most recent videos (in description) for toothpaste and toothbrush links:)
My Yorkie is like a 1 yr old kid
They really are:)
🌹
Great stuff. As you note, with every interaction, one party is being trained. Either you or the dog. It needs to be the dog.
Excellent point about getting the dog used to being handled when it eats. Resource guarding is not cool.
Related note. I was not a K9 guy with PD, but I worked with a lot of them. One big thing I was told a few times is to play a lot of tug of war with puppies, ensuring that that *the dog wins* nearly every time. This used to be discouraged, until the "alpha" status thing got debunked. As more was learned about canine behavior, it became clear that the most aggressive dogs tend to bite out of fear. What you want is a dog that is so confident that he does not feel the need to get the first strike in.
Thank you so much for your great comment. This is excellent, and helpful info!
Omg my baby is such a diva
mine too:)
Lol jake totally wakes us up 4am to be fed
They are so bossy!
I know you don’t feed them kibble but if you were what are some good brands
I would watch my video on pet foods, it will explain more:)
Hello Megan your yorkie have a cute coat in color I’m wanting to by a yorkie I hope to find a yorkie that looks like yours is ther a special color I should look for?
I would just go to a show breeder and look for the breed standard.
Thanks Megan i have a yorkie now probably wont look like urs win he gets older but im happy 2 have one still ....❤
I would so love to know where you obtained your little yorkies. I recently lost my baby of 17 years and I am finding absolute scammers. Yours are beautiful and look similar to mine. Is it possible to obtain the info on where you get your babies?
Hi no, I wish you the best in finding one.
Hi ,I really need help I have a Yorkie I get it when he was a lil baby ,now he is 3 months my problem is he is not afraid of me or has any respect he bites my hands all the time I mean all the time and when I want to make it stop he barks back ...I never have a dog before so I don't want to be to hard on him but this situation is getting out of control and I'm not a very patience person.... what can I do?
I would look for a very good trainer so you can work one on one!
What kibble do you feed them?
Good morning Jazmine:). I don't actually feed them Kibble, I feed them fresh, human grade food by a company called Just Food For Dogs and they LOVE it so much. I used to feed them kibble, but I realized that it wasnt't the healthiest opyion for dogs. I hope this helps:). Megan
I have one Yorkie, she is 11 yrs old, but very protective over me, sometimes she will let strangers pet her but she does not like men, she bit my pomeranian in the eye.
Oh no!
Do u have any advice
I have a 7 months old Yorkie she Wakes me every morning 7am barking constantly for me to get up to feed her it's very annoying if I lay there she won't stop she also wants to be picked up alot she'll constantly wine, bark and jump until I pick her up she only 3 1/2 pounds I feel bad and do what she demands but it's getting to me now
I would get the book that I linked you in my description by the monks of new skeet. It’s called the art of raising a puppy. Sounds like some training issues. The book will clear it all up for you. Your puppy is training you…
I have a teacup yorkie and he’s name is Max. He is a little spoiled but he only barks when someone is at the door. He currently weighs 1.09 kg and he is 4months old, any recommendations ? Please drop them in the reply section !
I am not sure of your question?
@@MeganGraham the question is how can I keep him from not doing his number one and 2 outside of the training pad.
Where did you get yours? I am looking for a reputable breeder, serious inquiry.
I don't share that info
I wanted a Yorkie but after watching your video, I don't. 😔
That is good. It sounds like it is not the right breed for you. I'm glad my video was helpful.
How to show your the boss and still keep a loving relationship with your puppy? I'm a pretty strict person
Are you asking a ? I was not sure.
Hi yes I was asking lol sorry
I would buy the book "the art of raising a puppy"
Ok thankyou soooo much
👸
❤️
Thanks for the video Megham. Please can you re-consider the music. It really affected the sound quality and added nothing to the video imo.
Thanks, it’s Megan.
How are yorkies with toddlers?
It is not really a dog I would get if I had toddlers. The child could inadvertently hurt a yorkie:(
@@MeganGraham thank you so much for your feedback! I felt like if it was anyone who had a clear answer on this it’s you since you have so many years and multiple yorkies in your lifetime
Do you have to tell your groomer to do their hair like that? They always shave my yorkie
Yes, please wath my teddy bear haircut video for more info.
How do you stop barking…please help
wish I knew:)
My Yorker is afraid of other dogs lol
I think mine are too!
👍🇮🇱
oh god they look ridiculous with all the bow ties
Takes one to know one, no doubt.
