Male Vs Female Yorkie | Yorkie 101

❤️ Custom Haircare Systems - megangrahamkell...
This video is about male vs female yorkie. So many viewers have asked if they should get a male yorkie or a female yorkie when looking at yorkshire terrier puppies, so I decided to make this yorkie 101 video talking about the differences and similarities of the two.
I'm often asked about some of my favorite items for yorkie puppies so I have included a list here:

[@cmfesspbernie]

My male Yorkie, Bernie, rescued us on the last Friday in September of 2005. He had been abused and didn't know how to play. He was also very sick. The power of prayer saved him. He lived for 16 years. He was a full-time job (Lol) but he was the biggest love of our family. He would tap me with his paw and stare at us when he wanted to go outside. He loved the outside and even the cold. He had a heart murmur but was doing very well till covid hit. We couldn't get his meds so the vet had to change them. He ended up getting hemorrhagic gastroenteritis and it was just too much. We rushed him to the emergency vet and they found a blood clot in his heart. We had to put him to sleep. It devastated me. I miss him so much that I cry every day. This will be my first Christmas without him. My husband had a blanket and pillow made with pictures of Bernie and Bernie and me. Then he surprised me with a music box that plays You Had Me From Hello. That was the song I sang to him. Sweetest man in the world. I pray that everyone that has a Yorkie they love gets at least as many happy years that we had with our Bernie. God Bless.

[@MeganGraham]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful love story. I was weeping as I read it. It was such a complete and detailed description, and it touched me very much.

I had a male Yorkie via my husband. His name was Bentley and he was a love bug. I grew up with large dogs, mainly German shepherds mixed (mutts) and my last dog before I met Bentley was a border collie mix. All my dogs were predictable and I liked that because it was easy to take care of them. Bentley was another ballpark. I’ve never met a dog like him, mostly because I never had a small dog. He was my husband’s boy since he was 8 weeks old. That baby bear stole my heart in the almost 7 years I met him. He was super possessive of his dad. I couldn’t touch or hug my husband without him going bananas and barking his head off. He accepted me as his human too about 3 years ago. His passing was the most painful thing I have ever experienced (so did my hubs). When my previous dog passed, it was painful and I grieved for a while but Bentley was there for me. But now that he’s gone, we didn’t have any other fur babies to console us. He passed on June 19 and would’ve been 17 this past August. We miss him terribly and may consider a pair of Yorkies in the far future. Thank you for sharing your babies. They are adorable.

[@MeganGraham]

I am so sorry for your loss. The hole that it leaves in our hearts when we lose our beloved Yorkies can truly be unbearable. Thank you for taking the time to share ❤️💔❤️💔

[@techdedicated]

When I lost my Yorkie it took a whole year before I could even think about him without tearing up. I had a husky after him. Usually just get full breed rescues. But will probaby get a yorki puppy next. They are so Great!

[@dzobie]

I had two female Yorkies and they were both extremely stubborn, eerily intelligent, highly vindictive, defensive, and protective in my experience. I also had one male who by contrast was generally very calm, considerate, and companion-like. Always trying to "help" and had to go everywhere I went. He had a high regard for rules and would sort of ask for permission to do things. The two females I had would just do whatever lol.

[@hanaroseofficial]

But what about the marking issue? Toilet training?

[@dzobie]

@@hanaroseofficial They learn fast and like I said, the male one at least was all about the rules. He would come to me and whine anytime any other dog broke a rule. The females somehow were able to teach the rules to other dogs. They would train friends' dogs that I watched.

I have a female Yorkie named Mazie! I'm not even exaggerating when I say she changed my life for the better. I used to be TERRIFIED of all dogs when I was a kid, and Mazie helped me to conquer that fear. Now I love dogs and I am working on getting certified to become a dog groomer and trainer! Mazie is honestly the sweetest dog ever. My parents always say she's the perfect dog. She's mellow, but loving and affectionate at the same time! Yorkies are honestly my favorite dog breed, and whether the dog is male or female, I don't think the owners will be disappointed at all!

Yes @ 8 weeks my current female was already trained on pee pads by the breeder. She's quite intelligent in ways

[@alisonjames865]

I have had boys and girls and I do think there is a difference. Our trainer explained it like this, the females have more at stake as they have an instinct to look after babies, they can sometimes resource guard more meaning growl at the other dogs if they take their toy or jump up on the bed or sit near there owner. I agree that our male yorkie follows me everywhere AND our female loves, loves, loves my husband. I would highly recommend a male yorkie even though I love them both very much…. And they do bark, especially when you have more the one and they can react or bark at dogs on your walk, at strangers, at ducks at almost anything so be prepared to be very loving and patient😊🐶🐶

[@MeganGraham]

All so true!

[@yisuicheng9100]

hey Alison, I have a baby boy. I think a trainer may can help with the barking issue. I feel like it’s so easy to spoil them since they are just so cute. I recently find a trainer come to my place and I do see progress. Hope my experience can help you

[@yamaha94O]

My boy Griffin only resource guards his food around our cats.

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

A trainer taught me how to stop the excess barking. I say "no bark" after I let him bark once or twice. If he barks again, I calmly say "uh oh," pick him up and take him into the bathroom. Close him in the bathroom alone for 10-15 seconds, lights on, please. When you open the bathroom door, say "no bark" again. Keep repeating that sequence when your dog barks until your doggo gets it. It took my dog twice. I have had more than 9 of his 10 years in peace! Every 6 or 8 months I have to do it once or twice to recharge it. But it's brilliant! No need to get mad. And your dog needs to bark to tell you something is happening. You don't want him to continue, though, and a Yorkie probably will continue. You say when the barking stops. It's a calm consequence for a behavior you don't want, without removing his natural instincts.

Yorkies are my all time favorite breed but IF I ever get another Yorkie, I would get a female because I believe they are easier to train. Nice video.

I have a Yorkie male for five years and I recently just got a female Yorkie he's somewhat territorial he was barking at her and I got him and let him know Mommy still love him I love haven't left because my love is enough for both of them and this is someone to keep him company so I love my Yorkie's and the other one is not 3 months old yet so I think that's a big difference by me having him for so long and then bring a new Yorkie into the mix he's kind of mad with that so every now and then I get to and put them together and let them like that talkin to each other because she's here to stay

[@ednagoree3577]

[@MiracleYorkies]

Hi Megan, your yorkies are adorable and love the video. I do have to say that I bred Yorkies for 17 years and have had several females and males over the years and honestly there really isn't any difference as far as personality. If I had to say that one might be more loving than the other it would typically be a male. But that's not true in every case. It's probably just a 60% compared to 40% chance. Females don't fight any more than male do. I've had males that fought and I have had females that fought. It all boils down personality it has nothing to do with being male or female. As far as how cuddly they are for how loving they are again it has nothing to do with the sex of the yorkie. Nothing at all

[@MeganGraham]

I completely agree with all of this. I just feel like they are such sweet dogs, regardless of whether you get a boy or a girl either one will make you very happy, and you can bond with either. I love my boy, and I love my girls. They are just fantastic dogs.

So exciting! Lmk how it goes:)

[@AmandaLane-bq4ie]

I have a male and female Yorkie. Mine are the same as yours. She is dominant but very loving. She will fight viciously for the best spot. My male hates a fight and follows me everywhere and is always peeping behind a door if he’s not in the same room. They are both adorable and special. She is cleverer and more agile. He is braver when out and more loyal.

[@MeganGraham]

They sound like such sweet little puppies. Spunky, and with their own personalities!

[@SuperZbros]

I had a male Yorkie named teddy, he wasn’t just the best dog I’ve ever had, he was my best friend and will he until the day I die, I swear to god he spoke English, he was so sassy, had opinions on everything. Rest In Peace teddy bear.

[@MeganGraham]

I am so sorry for you loss:(

Hi Megan, love your videos. I have a male Yorkie named Kobe who turns 1 this month. We are so excited to share the holidays w/ him. He loves to cuddle & follow me around the house.

[@MeganGraham]

Hi there:). I love so much that you are looking forward to celebrating the holidays together. That sounds like so much fun. Does he have a stocking?

[@marcusnorville32]

I don't have a Yorkie yet. Hopefully once I move I will get one. I believe in choosing the Yorkie that I bond with not necessarily based on gender. I don't believe in choosing based on gender. I will be happy with either.

[@MeganGraham]

Exactly. When you know, you know:)

[@barbarahayes5218]

I have a female now. Just love her to pieces. She is so bossy and very smart

[@MeganGraham]

so sweet!

[@J24J]

I've had two male Yorkies and couldn't be happier. My first male Yorkie was the sweetest, cuddliest, kindest, gentlest, most obedient dog I have ever encountered. He was always by my side. I still haven't gotten over his passing, and that was over 13 years ago. I got another male, thinking he might be a little bit similar. Well, they couldn't be more different! But they both stole my heart. Male Yorkies are the best! I love your channel and have subscribed. Your Yorkies are precious!

[@MeganGraham]

I don't think that we will ever get over their passings, we just learn to live with it.❤️🌈💔 They both sound wonderful. Yes, each one is SO different! Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel, I really appreciate it:)

[@jeanniethompson5527]

I am getting a male yorkie in January 2023. I can hardly wait! I am so excited!

[@MeganGraham]

Congrats !!!!

[@bella380]

My 1st Yorkie was a male rescue, when he passed (Feb2022), a female Yorkie rescued me. Both were former puppy mill breedstock. I now prefer the females. Clothes are more available for females, and also, you can give a female a belly rub without it getting, , . . .awkward!😆🤭

[@MeganGraham]

Thank you for your rescue efforts! You are amazing:)❤️❤️❤️

Love the Video, so cute! We have Boy Yorkie, he is so special to us. He is very smart, never messes in the house. Loves to go to the park and watches the squirrels go up and down the trees. Sometimes chases them.

So cute! They love to chase squirrels!

Our little girl Lola was so sweet, she loved being pet only when she wanted to be, & didn't like being held too long, she allowed sweetly for a few minutes then she wanted down. Lola had her own agenda, but so sweet & smart.

[@MeganGraham]

So sweet! She sounds like a treasure:)

[@cherylsovern653]

I have a male Yorkie. I absolutely love him. Follows me everywhere and is very protective. Has to be near me almost all the time. He was 4 when I got him and was bad about marking. Has gotten better over time.

[@MeganGraham]

He sounds so cute!

[@BarbB_in_TN]

I have 5 female Yorkies. Also I think that is very individual as to which Yorkies stay by your side or at your feet. Two of my girls follow me everywhere but all of them follow me almost all of the time.

[@MeganGraham]

Yes, it is very individual for sure. ❤️

[@rierexroat7290]

I have a female yorkie her name is Jazmin or Jazzie when she's not in trouble. I also have a 14 yr old Chihuahua...Jazzie is almost 2 and she is the boss of the house. She does not like me giving anyone else attention and that includes Petie my chi. She is constantly with me and always wants to be held. She can stir up trouble by tearing up toilet paper or digging dirt in my plants. But she is so sweet and knows when I'm sad or not feeling well she is consoling me. I love watching your videos and have learned alot about my little diva thru you. I love your babies they are so cute! I didn't have any problem choosing male or female...the litter was all girls!

[@MeganGraham]

I love that you call her a diva! She sounds like she has a big (and wonderful) personality:). Thank you for the kind words, I am so glad that you are enjoying my videos:). Thant make me feel so happy!

[@fluffyicecream2062]

I've had Yorkie mixes and found the same things to be true as you did but my males were more slap happy and smiley and females more sensitive or as you said moody.

[@MeganGraham]

Very true, I actually think it is true of most dogs.

[@kerriebrookesanchez2592]

Ive had my yorkie moses for 9 months! This angel has brought so much joy to my life. Just love this little guy💙

I have a male and he is the sweetest! He stays glued to me. He cross if he can’t be glued to me. He cuddles none stop.

[@MeganGraham]

What a little love!❤️❤️❤️

[@ShellG.]

This was actually very helpfu, thank you so much!l! My story is just like yours! I wanted a girl and the last pup of the litter was a boy. Once we bonded I absolutely fell in LOVE with him. Sadly, we lost Turkleton last December and my heart was shattered. I thought I would never be able to love another dog again but I think many people feel that way after pet loss. Just by chance I reached out to the breeder of our Turky and they had a female available. What are the odds that they would have a litter?? They had one little girl available and we're going to meet her tomorrow(she's still only 6 weeks) so we won't bring her home yet. 🥰 I've been so nervous because I wasn't sure if I was ready but I'm starting to get excited. My little guy was also my little shadow so I find it interesting that you say females seem to be a bit more independent. It will be interesting to see what her personality will be like! We do want to get a playmate after this one is trained and I still have a strong desire to have another male. I hope this one will also have a quirky and silly personality like our little Turky did! ♥

[@evagardner6013]

How’s your puppy?

[@MeganGraham]

That is wonderful. Both are great!

[@ShellG.]

@@evagardner6013 It turned out that the people who left a deposit on one girl backed out backed and 2 female became available so we ended up with TWO! 😄 They are so crazy and silly! We named them Stella and Hazelnut...they're about to turn 10 months old!

[@fredericklister4905]

I had a male yorkie , I adopted from somebody . At first when I adopted him he wanted to be under me all the time . Once he got used to the house , other dogs and people he just went around and would do his own thing .

[@MeganGraham]

So sweet

[@danafay126]

Hi Megan, I lost my 8yr old yorkie Pippin about 6 weeks ago to a sudden illness. We spent thousands trying to save him. The loss is so deep more than anything in my life or my husband & kids. ( and I am no spring chicken,lol).My family &I have the privilege & honor of getting his 1/2 brother and last of the bloodline 2 weeks ago. We have named him Finnegan. Finn for short. The hole is our hearts from Pippin in massive but the alternative of never having him is unfathomable. He really changed all of us. Finn coming to us is just amazing. We feel already so in love with him. I wanted to ask you. With Pippin I had never gotten him fixed and we had a tough time with him marking. He was always so tiny I was scared of the operation/anesthesia. Did you ever get any of your males fixed and did that make a difference with the marking ? My vet seems to think it does and wants to fix Finn.

[@MeganGraham]

Teddy was fixed, and it really helped with his marking. I am not allowed to fix Alfie because I co-own him with the breeder and it makes it really hard. I would definitely fix him if I could

[@txusytxus3742]

Hi, we just lost our Max, a Westie, and even if my heart is still broken, we are considering having another dog. My husband says Yorkies are too yappie. What are your thoughts on that subject? My Max was the runt of the litter, so he was soooooo sweet and loved other dogs and specially, kids.

[@MeganGraham]

I think they can be, but it depends. When I had only one yorkie he was not yappy at all. Mine also never bark in the house. I am so very sorry for your loss:(

[@siemprelui]

I have a male and female yorkie poms. You got their exact description. Both are super loving and caring. However, I do notice the male puppy is always by my side, when I am taking a shower or just working on my computer. He always lies down right in the top of my feet and falls asleep. My female yorkie pom on the other side loves to go around the house, check on me and keep her own little adventure while I am working. I love them both so much. And your puppies are adorable! Thank you for the video.

[@MeganGraham]

They both sound like a dream! The males are just like velcro ❤️❤️. Thank you so much for your kind words:)

[@liselotterojeras329]

I have a male yorkie, Otto. We absolutely love him and thinking of getting a brother or maybe a son of him in the future 😊

[@MeganGraham]

That is lovely:)

[@lizdini722]

I am biased toward male dogs, regardless of the breed. I have always found females to be moody and independent as you said. My boys are always by my side and are fiercely loyal. To be fair though, our female Golden Retriever was very attached to my Dad. I don’t know if that is normal for females to be more attached to men, but it has been my experience. Thanks for this video.

[@MeganGraham]

My female dogs love all men so much. If a man comes over to the house, I am chopped liver, and the girls pay zero attention to me.

[@JesusisLordgh8j]

@@MeganGraham I have a four year old female LOVE her so much she is soooo loyal and follows me every ware and hates when I leave the house. I agree females love men. I raised her though and probably thinks I.M her daddy. Her name is Roxy and she is my little girl. The are just like children but better ::)))

[@lynncardin]

I have a female Yorkie who is so loving , she follows me everywhere and doesn't want me out of her sight , she wakes me every morning with kisses and actually hugs she lays her head on my neck , I don't really think getting a male or female has anything to do with which one is the best , because I also have a male Yorkie who acts the same way ! I think it's all in how much love and attention they get that's just my opinion ❤❤❤

[@MeganGraham]

I'm sure you are right:)

[@tamamarquez2075]

Have a male, but hoped for a female! But , having no choice, I m totally thrilled with the little guy I got!

[@MeganGraham]

I am so happy for you!

[@janbfred]

You have such adorable babies! Our female Yorkie, Baby Doll, is the most cuddly and adorable female dog! She loves to help cook and do laundry😊. As you were saying, every step I take during the day is accompanied by the Baby Doll. She is 8 months old and has stolen our hearts! We also have a 3 year old male PomChi named Teddy. They love each other and play so well together! We love all breeds and genders. As we are getting older, the smaller breeds have been much easier to care for!

[@MeganGraham]

They all so like such sweeties!

[@Avalm]

Love your channel!! Did you get your male dogs neutered? And if so, do they still mark afterwards?

[@MeganGraham]

I usually do, but I own Alfie with a show breeder so I can not. Teddy still marked after he was neutered.

[@kjsteven6926]

I think you have to neuter at a young age to avoid the marking stage. Once they Start, it can be a habit. Especially with little doggos

[@TheRene954]

@@kjsteven6926 U do & sometimes they will still mark one of my boys was neutered at 8 mth but he will still mark his territory. Not a fan of the belly bands he isn’t either LOL I think when U do take them off. They will just go mark again. Tried most of the stop marking products. Nope. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My family had a female yorkie. I loved her so much she was my little sister. I would love another female yorkie. 😀

[@CrazyBeansCrochet]

Great informative vlog! I love your vlogs! When I was looking for my yorkie, I didn’t care which gender we got. I ended up seeing her picture and I fell in love. She was only 2lbs at the time and I found out she was born with a hernia, but that didn’t stop me from a 4hr drive to pick her up. Now she’s almost 6months old and she weighs a little over 4lbs. My Poppy is the sweetest! She’s supposed to be spayed by the end of this month and as they spay her they’ll fix her hernia. Quick question in your opinion what’s a good age to spay a female yorkie?? My Poppy will be a little pass 6 months when she gets spayed. Do u think that’s to young?

[@MeganGraham]

If you trust your vet, I would go by the advice that your vet gives you.

It is illegal in all but three states for a breeder to sell a dog at 6 weeks. Especially with a yorkie, it should be 12 weeks. What a shame. An absolute shame.

[@vidapalomadesamero2829]

I just adopted a male 10-year old Yorkie from a shelter two weeks ago. Luckily enough, he doesn’t bark but he does have a tendency to whine. I believe it is due to anxiety and abandonment issues he is trying to deal with. Personally, I previously had a male Yorkie a few years ago who suddenly passed away. He was so AWESOME. So, when I had the opportunity to adopt a male Yorkie again I did it and I would continue to do so!!! 🐶❤️

We rescued a male Yorkie that lived till about 16. We've recently lost a large cross Yorkie which we got with his litter mate 8 years ago. We have just got a tiny male Yorkie at 12 weeks nearly 14 weeks now. Just playing referee between the boys at the moment and potty training is going very well once we got rid of all the puppy training pads. Your dogs are all amazing.

We have only had one yorkie, a male named Loki, and he is exactly as you described your male in regards to the marking and attachment. Our current challenge is taking loki out every couple hours to prevent marking in the house. Loki wants to be within eye shot of either myself or my wife non stop. We love our puppy and can't wait to get a second.

I now have my second male yorkie, and he is 9 months old. He is the most loving dog I have ever had and also follows me everywhere. I had wanted a female this time so I could dress her up but my wonderful breeder didn’t have any. It was possibly going to be a year before one was available, because she had a long waiting list for girls. She told me in her experience, that the boys were more loving than the girls. Love my boy!❤️

[@MeganGraham]

It sounds so much like my experience with Teddy. I also wanted a girl so that I could dress her up and things like that, but Teddy really wound up being my dog of a lifetime. Of course I love all of my babies so much. But sometimes there’s just that one special dog of your life, and Teddy was definitely that for me.

I have a male teacup pure breed yorkie!!! He's my first dog and I preferred a male since I was concerned about the female temperament and menstrual cycles. I'm very pleased with my choice! He's definitely my shadow similar to your experience and since he's so little, he likes to jump all over me when I'm seated or laying down. He likes to sit right on my clavicle bone LOL.

Of course as a new Yorky mom I have been shopping for her and I think it will be a lot of fun having her because I live alone and a senior female. Your dogs are adorable, and I have decided I am not having her trimmed and realize that’s going to be a little more work but I love that long silky look.
