10 Reasons You SHOULD NOT Get a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie Dog

[@marythomas6530]

My Yorkie was 14 when he passed away. Wonderful dog! Best years of my life!

[@deathpie24]

Mine passed about 2 months ago, 15 birthday the other day Been with me for more than half the life I have lived, so far

[@LinDevonald]

We had 3 yorkies and each one was perfect.They loved all dogs and people too. Very friendly dogs.Very clean. Loved walking whether wet dry or snow.

[@robertbrandywine]

Did they bark a lot?

[@bulgiriri]

@@robertbrandywineI have one and it doesn’t bark unless we eat and dont give him

[@prettychachi]

I agree i Had two long ago an done now and they were no trouble.

[@gladyharwood7898]

I had a female and male and they was perfect dogs, no trouble at all.. ..The male lived to 18yrs. Old and female 15 yrs old .. I miss them so,so much ..I would like to have another one but they are too expensive to buy now., I am on a fixed income now..,.

I’ve had yorkies since I was 7, they are AMAZING and are very loving 🥰

[@josepeiretti1321]

I got my first Yorkie 5 days ago after a huge gap of 14 years without dogs as pet. He is being such a lovely and sweet animal til now. I super grateful for being his human being.

[@Paulhanratty885]

I have one myself, he's ten now and I'm dreading that day when we have to say goodbye 😢u are lucky to have one, great dogs👍

[@JeanSelwood-l4i]

I've just rescued a Yorkie and he is the sweetest loving pet that I could not ask for a better pet! He sleeps in my bed and never makes a mess! He loves attention and eating is his favorite pastime!

[@PattyShane]

Best dog I ever had! Loving little pet.

[@irisgloanec8062]

Mine has tolerance!!! Sometimes I think he has more than me. I can touch him everywhere, I can remove and take his bowl when he eats, I can turn him all around... He is very friendly and patient with everyone, even children when he knows them. There are things to put off of this video because not all Yorkies are the same!

[@keepyoursats]

I agree, all yorkies are not the same

[@pamelaagregaard1479]

This isn’t factual. I’ve had 4 yorkies and none of them were as described here.

[@debbiekelty143]

This video is all wrong. My Yorkie loves other dogs, doesn’t bark all the time, loves children, potty trained easily, loves fetch and any other game with a person, nine years old with no health issues, hypoallergenic for family members who are normally allergic to pet dander, NO shedding. She love when people she knows or doesn’t know come to visit. Yorkie’s are a great dog.

[@isisjimenez-yo5gz]

i have one and she is loving and always playing

[@kimberlyyoung6221]

Our Yorkie is the smartest, most protective, loving and less anxious dog we have ever had! Only barks if someone at door and stops when we tell him "ok". Storms do not bother him at all and when we leave, he goes to bed and is so happy when we get home, he doesn't jump on anyone, he does 'dance' for us when we get home. He sits by us when we have company and if we introduce him him to the person, he will only go to them if they reach out and call him over. If they pay attention to him, he will go thru all his 'tricks' for them. Sits, then lays, rolls over both ways. He has more but he keeps it simple for guests. Lol.

[@marilynancira9698]

The Yorkies I've had are NOTHING like you describe. My Yorkie and all the other animals I've had have all gotten along very well

[@traceytuggle5035]

My yorkie gets along with her “sister “ (a rescue dog we got 5:11 at our local pound they play together and can get into it at times as my yorkie gets jealous. But for the most part she loves her sisters. 😂

[@williamrolph8872]

We’ve had one for two years and are perfectly happy with her. This article is unfair.

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

Thanks I'm considering getting one

[@user-mg5gy4wz6x]

Wrong! I have a Yorkie and she loves people and all other dogs especially big dogs, she loves getting brushed. Everything that was said is completely wrong.

[@tshepobuthelezi7315]

Like.. I don't understand who made this video😔 only fact was that they don't like the cold and the grooming can be tough if left unattended. I just wasted 8 min of my life

[@bulgiriri]

Not everything wrong but some are wrong yes.

[@terriewhitman1741]

I agree with what others are saying. My yorkie is 3 yrs old and I did not have trouble potty training him. HE LOVES PEOPLE!! And tolerates big dogs. So i disagree with your video.

[@robertopereira4]

Love more my welsh terrier..Perfect size that wont struggle with a street cat!!!

[@WayneMobley-yc5sf]

Shorty buck ..is just like yours.likes big bro. Sal-man..and is very people friendly...he is my best friend ......

[@niecy1025]

My Yorkie did very well with my grandkids. He was a good dog. We kept his hair short!

[@lolaamusan78]

I know your trying to help people know abt the bad things about the yorkshire terrier but not all yorkies act like this.😢

[@sharonhodkinson2011]

My little Yorkie does not bark at all! I have had her for two months and all I have heard is one small bark when someone came to the door.

[@Zedrie]

Ease up! This is a horrible presentation for Yorkies 🙄 and I am a staunch supporter of harsh truths. Here's a good list: Not so great for small children - Yorkie are small so there are not very robust and can get hurt pretty easily by accident, there's a laundry list of better dogs for young families, but if you have a Yorkie already, it's not like it's a Sophie's choice. Keep your dog, love you dog; just remember he's as durable as an over-ripe avocado so maybe don't send your Yorkie and a couple of 3 YOs outside for the day unsupervised. That's pretty much it. Yorkies are food motivated, so anyone who says they are hard to train/housebreak is not putting in the effort; yeah I said it, it's a YOU problem - a lot of small dogs don't like imposing weather, luckily Yorkies are small enough that a strategically placed large puppy pad close to there normal "outside" exit and a little encouragement will continue a lifelong habit of using a pad that's not going to be much trouble to clean and replace. Protip: little dog = little bladder; this is not the dog who can go 12-16 hours between bathroom breaks. As for the barking, "yappy" bs? Exactly that, bs. Do they bark? Sure, that's called being a dog - they are alert dogs, it's what they do. I'm not sure what n00b is getting a Yorkie as a "guard dog", they are a toy breed that could be beaten up by a moody toddler, but they will alert you to any and all mammals approaching what they have deemed their territory; works for me - I am far scarier when threatened then any dog on the planet, but deaf in one ear so I like the heads up. My little guy is trained to stop as soon as I say thank you to him, it's honestly depends on the dog, not the breed. If you want a silent pet, get a goldfish. Pure breeds inherently come with predictable health problems because of the points in their breed history where they were inbred to create specific breed-wide traits, a cross or a mixed has a larger gene pool to draw from and will be less likely to develop adverse health problems if that's a concern for you. Animal shelters are overflowing with homeless pups, everyone wins if this sways you to a mixed breed. Probably the ONLY real advice I would give to someone considering a Yorkie, I would give to someone considering any type of dog: If the dog is going to be alone 10-12 hours a day, don't get a dog - big or small, dogs are pack animals and as such, want to be with their pack. Training, positive reinforcement and stimulation require time from you; *this* is the part where people go wrong and then blame the poor dog. Some dogs are more independent than others, but no dog is a naturally solitary mammal - that's not found anywhere in the canine species. Some people will get irritated and defensive that I put the onus on them but *that* is a hard truth, you will get out of you dog what you put into your dog; sh!tty dog? Sh!tty owner. If you want a dog to play with and pet and cuddle and love at your convenience, a dog that will practically train itself and be completely cool with you living a full life outside your home and away from them whenever the mood strikes you? You want a cat. That's a cat. Great animal, exactly what you are looking for. Welcome to advice on Yorkies NOT written by chatGPT.

[@suestone6156]

Perfectly Said! True Facts! ❤ ❤

[@nishagoud7716]

Ya wrong! this dogs are very friendly and kind they love children and people too. Don't give wrong statement about this cute and kind dogs.

[@mrs.deanwinchester411]

My yorkies siblings are 2 German Shepard and 1 husky she's very loving with them and us

[@user-iy2ov3zo4t]

i cant belive that she said to not get a yorkie i have one and shes perfect 💯

[@dannypups]

All of the "behaviour" points are untrue, and none of it is "breed specific". When talking nature vs nurture, any behavioural traits are at least 90% nurture, and not nature.

[@rebeccarogers1163]

I am at number two and I disagree with 1 and 2 so far. I have a 5-year-old that is as sweet and gentle with everyone! Not only that but before I got her, I had a 170 lb Shepherd/Akita mix and a Newfoundland/retriever mix that adored her and she adored them. I will continue with a video until I hear a couple other untruths. However, so far I don't believe this video. Big dog syndrome you mean like a Chihuahua? This is a ridiculous video! I'm done watching it.

[@lupebriseno9393]

I agree with you. I rescued one and got along with my big dog and cats

[@preciousminor1374]

The only thing I'll say is true is when our male Yorkie see someone he don't recognize in the house he tends to bark and that's a good thing if you ask me if someone break in our place I'll sure love to know and he also will bark if he's trying to rest and he hears a lot of noise

[@dimitrios1818]

By far one of the best dogs. I grew up with a yorkie since I was 8 and he absolutely adored children while he was also a gentleman with other dogs. He had a strong personality and he loved everyone blindly. Unfortunately we lost him before his 14th birthday. ❤

[@joiekallay1014]

My Yorkie Bichon is territorial and protective when seeing or hearing potential intruders... However when I call her back to attention and investigate with her her, she is immediately calmed down.This comes down to basic dog training she responds to knowing that the alpha has taken care of the issue and there is no threat. I love my baby Roxie!

[@bobbyarnold5555]

Ive got TWO Yorkies and ONE mini-Aussie. They are wonderful

[@lilkomlossy8879]

Our Yorkie is a star in our neighborhood. I see if she is freezing and I hug her, rub her sides and take her inside. Also, do not forget the little shoes. We prefer the rubber booties, they are light and protective from any common and dangerous stuff on the road, such as spits and thrown away garbage.

[@nickelsmore1400]

These would be issues to an intolerant owner. Very unfair on yorkies.

[@yonkieponkie]

some of the dogs in the videos werent yorkies, but more like west highland terriers

[@sarahb3937]

Whoever made this video never owned a Yorkie.

[@likablack8611]

What a terrible title! I’m sure many Yorkie owners (like myself) will say what a joy our lives have been since the addition of our Yorkie family member(s). Maybe try calling it, “10 Things to Consider Before Buying A Yorkie”. While many of your points seem accurate, not all apply to every Yorkie. This video comes across negatively and I think they’re a joy to have and be loved by.

[@goldenspark333]

I love when my little sweat love bug yorkie notifys me when a Stranger is around my house so I can get my 12 gauge mossburg to check it out 😍💖🥰❤️‍🔥😍💕😘🐶😘

[@justjen7377]

These are ALL either untrue or non-issuse! A continuous owner is the most important thing for this breed.

[@CandeIglesias-dw1fk]

You are extremely wrong;they are lovely,pets; you should not express those comments

[@Lillliee_official]

I have 2 yorkies and one is always energetic and active all day And one is protective If anyone tries to punch me He's always there for me

[@pawatts333]

Our dog fits the profile that you just given 100% and as he is aged, he has gotten even more irritable about anyone touching his food, including his who he tried to bite

[@vickileightizer3628]

Mine hates other dogs and children, sweet natured but barks like crazy. Although her health is robust now, she has had both knees surgically corrected, expensive dental surgery, is 12 and barely house trained. She stands on the pee pad and pees on the floor. She is sweet but I would never recommend one to anyone not prepared for expensive vet bills.

[@JesseEstes-bv8nc]

Very loyal and protective. Have anxiety and bark alot when left alone!

LOS YORKIES ARE BEAUTIFUL FOOL

[@tinamarieanderson3170]

This article is false.

[@kayleen9110]

I don't agree with bashing any breed of dog. This video does! Every dog is different.

[@ameliaramirez1042]

Yorkie is the worst breed. They crap all over. Not potty trained, needy. Follow you everywhere. Annoying barking. Separation anxiety. Aggressive, weak dog breed. Joint problems. They are fragile. One false step it's over. I hate dressing them up and they are not your babies. Not potty trained. Crapped all over at the store. Embarrassing. Many health issues. Picky eater. Needs to be washed and groomed constantly. Major issue. They are whimsy, cold rainy etx. They are promadonnas

[@Porche2009]

What a load of BS yorkies make adorable pets' its how you bring them up just like any other breed thy have different characters..

[@sirright8340]

Now I getting one

They're wonderful :D

My wife and her mom had a yorkie family with 6 yorkies. My wife kept 3 yorkies and her mom kept 3. 2 of the yorkies my wife kept were funny, playful, and cute. the last one was cute and calm. I don't agree with any of that😠😠😠

[@loriesposito5165]

My yorkie has grown up w my autistic grandson and she tolerated anything he did to her!!! The best dogs, even great with my sisters hairless kitty’s, yes she was a lil jealous 😂❤but she came around soon🐶

I am Blessed with a boy and 10 yr old Sweet little girl. The new boy is wild, but very loving, only 3 years old. A Veterinarian Murdered my very first little boy, we all Loved him too much. The Veterinarian lied to us, had no idea what he was doing, had never touched a toy breed before in his new practice. His wife posted these facts on their Facebook page without realizing it. It's been 2 years now, I still cry, miss him everyday. I adopted him from people who didn't love him. I loved him more than any human in my life, and I'm 64.

[@leslieholliday3740]

I have never had a problem with her in the house at all with being house trained she was house trained before she was 3 months old she's never gone in my house

[@loredanadinisio11]

My Yorkie is extremely sweet and friendly..... Tooooo much.

[@karlawilliams3656]

My yorkie loves the rain and his bestie in our house is our Great Dane. He doesn’t bark that much, only to communicate with me and he is a part of our pack not the leader. We also have a pit and a chihuahua so that may account for something 😂

[@cherryrainn]

they’re really nice, but mine is sadly too loud and sometimes barks at everyone, but sometimes shes super nice and wants to cuddle with me. her mood changes quickly but my whole family loves her a lot, like she can literally bark and bite me and wont let me hold her and then the other day she’s extremely cuddly and wants to be with me. idk if thats the problem with me and my family or her, but yeahh. also, she’s REALLY hungry every single minute. like literally, she tries to steal my food everytime i let her in my room (sometimes she sneaks in to do so, but i always notice her) she’s 4 years old if anyones interested, so yeah

[@LSBduck]

This comment made me bust out laughing 😭

[@leslieholliday3740]

Every single thing this person is saying is not true I have a Yorkie she's 12 she's still very strong runs in place and I have adopted four cats since I got her she loves every one of them she loves all other animals she loves all my family she visits I don't get it this sounds ridiculous

[@donnaglavin4035]

Had my Yorkie Reeses for 9 yrs he was the best man in my life ❤miss him 😢

[@michellegeist5421]

Wrong wrong wrong I have been raised around them since I was a child and I am 52 yrs old and my grandchildren are raised around them and they do well with other animals I had a 12yr old Yorkie that lived with a large dog and a cat and rabbit this website is so misleading and needs to be taken off. Any dog can become protective and any breed you have to socialize and caring for coat is like any dog you age to care for it and the same thing with teeth you have to care for. And as a matter of fact these dogs were used back in the days for hunting and chasing rabbits out of homes etc. so this website is so wrong about this breed.

[@IvyCane-c5q]

I have 4 and I want 4 more! Best breed in the world. The key is you have to be the bigger bully or they will bully you . Don’t get just one, you’ll have issues, they hate to be alone. Kennel train the first night you bring them home, let them earn their way in your bed. This breed goes to the groomer a lot so it’s important they’re crate/kennel trained. This breed takes time and a lot of maintenance to maintain a beautiful coat, if you don’t have time and money, don’t get one.

[@Lindaraylong]

I had one. Her name was tippy and she was really sweet. She got a long with my kids. The only person she didn’t like is my ex-husband. She hated him. If he got close to me she would try to get him. He would have to run and get on a kitchen chair. He worked nights and we lived down a long dirt road. As soon as she heard him pull on that road she would start growling in the closer he got the louder she got. He made me give her away. ☹️ He got tired of getting bit. Funny thing is, lol he got her for me. I miss her.

[@lauriesmith1043]

I have a yorkie, and I shown yorkies, and I'm a Dog Groomer, my yorkie has a sister a goldendoodle and she has been with use for 2 years she is 45 lbs, yes yorkies are not good with families with small children each yorkie is different but they are great dogs, and fun,full of energy not like a goldendoodle there totally full of energy, my yorkie and goldendoodle get along so well together, I tell people if there wanting any type of a dog do your homework so your aware of whst you maybe in for.

If I were you you can listen to this if you want to but it’s not true I have a Yorkie she’s amazing she’s safe with children and sometimes lets out the terrier but still you should not be encouraging people not to get a yorkie and trust me my yorkie is the best just saying you don’t need to be encouraging people not to get an animal unless it’s like a bear bears are kind of cute though but like what if I said you should not get a golden retriever because they love to cuddle that’s kind of what you’re saying with yorkies I love Yorkies but some people don’t but I love them and a lot of people do.Trust me your keys are great dogs if you want one you should get one

[@elizabethsaunders6924]

What a load of rubbish. My Yorkies have always made exceptional pets. Two at once was a dream! Elder one taught younger one. Coats very easy to maintain! Great guard fog. Saved my neighbours car from getting broken into. Never to be left with children alone? Agree but this should apply to all dogs. Hates bigger dogs- rubbish again. My Yorkies best buds were both Rotties and Great Dane’s. My Yorkies were potty trained by 4 months. The Yorkie I have just now never gave me a soiled pee pad. Molly is now a Therapy Dog and works with both children and adults! Please get your facts straight!!!!

[@bellazaralilyruger6517]

The person talking in this video has no clue what she's talking about! It's BS. I have four dogs. One is a Yorkshire terrier who loves her big brother our black lab /pit mix, her sisters our Shi tzu and our Yorkie/pom. We have small children here all the time and she loves them! And they are not as delicate as you think they are because our little girl is like a little tomboy who loves to play rough! There were other things she said that were all false like they're hard to train. My Yorkie is not even two and she knows how to speak when asked, she gives high five, We say spa time and she flips over onto her back so we can rub her belly, she knows when we spell out or treat, she knows to go in the hallway when we're going to leave the house and so much more. The American kennel club is full of caca! 😡
