Your Yorkie's eating manners - YorkieTalk.com Forums

How would you describe your Yorkie's eating habits? Does he/she have good manners?

Maximo is very polite and keeps his mouth closed. Teddy delights in crunching each kibble with his mouth wide open. Max used to make faces at Teddy as if to say, "You are so uncouth, kid."

Well, Kacee gets chicken breast with her meals. She's not really messy and cleans anything that goes overboard off of her place mat. You can, however, always see the evidence of her meal on her beard when she's finished and looks up at me as if to say, "That was good."

Moka is miss manners. She waits patiently for me to serve her, then gets the approval to eat. She eats slowly and cleans up her plate.

Mylee rushes in and pushes me out of the way often making me spill her kibble outside her bowl. She gulps down her food. And she is not polite about her burping either. She'll take a drink of water, walk over the the rug, sit down and let out a loud belch! She should have been a boy!

Pnut is a quiet eater, he gets a little green beans,chicken breast, and wet food mix in with his kibble, he will lick it all up and the burp after! Haa.

Remy is polite, he sits and waits has his food is plated

Once on the ground, he is a very excited eater and loves his Raw diet. His food is devoured in about 30 seconds and he spends about 10 seconds after that licking the plate clean

Daisy eats very nicely. If her food gets too close to the middle of the dish, she will bark so we will move it more closely to the edge for her. She will not stick her face in it and stays very clean.

Barney eats every meal like he hasn't eaten in 6 months. He scarfs his food down and knocks it all over the floor and usually spills water in the process. He ends up with a wet face.

Teddy eats very orderly. He eats all his vegetables first, then the rest of his food. He is not as neat as Daisy but he is neater than Barney.

MaddiesMommie · 12-16-2010, 08:33 AM

Maddie is a very polite eater. She keeps her food in her bowl and chews each piece as if she wants to savor the flavor.

Cooper, her sis but not a Yorkie, eats like there is no tomorrow, she has never been fed before, and must fight for her food. Food is everywhere but the bowl.

Poppy has no eating manners, she eats every meal in record time as if she's never been fed LOL. Greedy guts.

ArmaniMan · 12-16-2010, 10:21 AM

I swear Armani never lifts his face out of the dish- he gobbles as fast as he can.

Chloe on the other hand eats very slowly and politely.

Cirlonde · 12-16-2010, 10:22 AM

Chloe likes to hunt her food down, make sure it is thoroughly dead, and then eat it.

She doesn't do this as often any more as she did when she was a puppy, but she still never eats at her bowl....always has to carry off three or four kibbles at a time.

Maggie is polite, waits for me to put it down, eats all of it with her mouth closed. But at the end she has a burp that sounds like a truck driver. It's hard to believe that sound comes from a little girl dog. Buster on the other hand, has his mouth open, crunching each kibble one by one. If he gets something he doesn't like, he will drop it outside the bowl. If he thinks he is leaving the house, he will eat everything in his bowl almost without stopping.

Very funny and cute!

I think we need to do a poll on whose Yorkie burps, lol.

Britster · 12-16-2010, 04:44 PM

Jackson's pretty polite when it comes to his dog food meals. He's not jumpy or overly excited or anything and he eats pretty normally paced and everything. Over at my dads house, though, he eats A LOT faster... lol (w/ the two other dogs there) but he's still polite about it and doesn't really make a mess. However, when it comes to human food... I admit, he's a beggar! Oh and will burp after alot of meals... haha! I think it's adorable.

yavenay · 12-16-2010, 04:51 PM

She has none.

kdhawks · 12-16-2010, 07:03 PM

Levi has the manners of a goat when he eats. He dances around when I pick up his bowl to put food in, impatiently follows me while I getting everything ready, and then begrudgingly sits down by his placemat and tries to look look calm (he knows I won't put his bowl down until he is sitting nicely). But the second I put the bowl down, his face goes in the bowl and he eats like I haven't fed him in a week. Mealtime is pretty hysterical. When he finishes eating...he slams his whole face down into his water bowl.
