Does your yorkie "talk"? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

CoCos_Mom · 11-08-2012, 05:33 AM

Ok, Miss CoCo does this weird thing where we swear she is "talking". She's not barking, whining, or growling, she's "talking". She also sighs with "frustration" (I think). It's just so crazy. She's my first yorkie, so I was wondering if any of you yorkie owners experience anything similar, and how can I translate? LOL

sbgooljar · 11-08-2012, 05:37 AM

LOL...Romeo talks to me all the time. It's even funnier when I goad him, the more I talk the louder he gets. As for the sighs, yes!!!

GeorgiesMomma · 11-08-2012, 05:40 AM

Georgie definitely talks and sighs! It's so cute my husband always say tell us Georgie and he leans his head to the side and starts talking

Yorkies are more human than any breed I have ever been around

BellarousasMom · 11-08-2012, 05:41 AM

Bella does the same thing. She is also my first yorkie and I just know she can have a conversation. LOL

CoCos_Mom · 11-08-2012, 05:54 AM

Ok, so I'm NOT crazy. LOL It's just soooo weird to me the way she acts. She is truly like a little lady. All I can do is shake my head in amazement of her. My sweet baby.

Per my Avatar picture, Tibbe talks all day. He chirps, yodels, moans, clicks, half-barks as he brings his lips together like he's actually trying to form words, sighs and makes any number of sounds in his throat. He's ALWAYS standing in the floor "talking" to or at me. He hardly ever talks lying down next to or on me or at the end of the couch or bed. No, he gets in the floor and stands and his attitude sometimes is like he's got his hands on his hips - disgusted or admonishing; other times it's like one hand is reached out, palm up, kind of pleading. Other times he's just "YorkieTalking" away with no known attitude - just like he wants to fill the air with his voice. A lot of times he kind of extends his neck, puts his head forward and turns it slightly to one side to raise his mouth up a bit and he chats away. If I could only interpret all of it!

Wylie's Mom · 11-08-2012, 06:38 AM

Lol, Marcel is like that! He has specific little squeaks. He has sighs - contented ones, frustrated ones, I-want-attention-ones. I just love all his noises.

GuinnessStout · 11-08-2012, 06:45 AM

Guinness is bad about back talk, the one picture I have of him giving the stink eye look he was back talking then because I told him he could not have another carrot. But if you get onto him and he does not think he should be in trouble or you are not letting him get his way he mumbles and talks back. And yep he sighs too when he is bored or you stop playing before he wants to stop.

bobohyde · 11-08-2012, 07:08 AM

Columbo gives a lot of back talk. He always has to have the last word, even when you tell him to stop, he will mumble the last word quietly under his breath...

This sounds just like Columbo. He's very mouthy.

CouversMom · 11-08-2012, 07:14 AM

Couver is my talkative one. He will use his voice to tell me what he wants... I know his huffs and puffs means he's frustrated with something, his whine usually means he needs to go outside or wants to eat... He is very vocal

LunasMomma · 11-08-2012, 07:17 AM

My Luna is very vocal. Catching it on video has been challenging though, she sees me with my phone and promptly shuts up

She says "mama" and "i love you"

She will also "yell" at me when she wants something

I find it adorable

CoCos_Mom · 11-08-2012, 07:41 AM

This is so funny to read. Wow, I never knew these babies were so much like us. My chihuahua is NOTHING like this. She's an awesome big sister for CoCO, but she quietly chooses a lap to sit in for the day and there she stays until she wants food, water, or a potty break.

CoCo, she's another story. She's gotta be running, playing, talking, barking, etc. And EVERY morning without fail ,we have the same conversation. As soon as I am dressed for work she starts in on me, "mom, you've got clothes on. where are you going? i want to go. can i go. I want to go for a ride. don't leave me here." She does it until Ipick her up and love on her. Soon as I put her down, she goes right back in - even with her daddy being right there with her. That young lady truly has plenty of personality!

LILBIT1 · 11-08-2012, 07:45 AM

Oh yes! Waffles talks to me. Tries to say mama sounds like raaaraaa its cute. She sighs, throws herself down in a tantrum and goes hrumph! She has fake sneezes, and tells us when she wants to eat.

OOH the tantrums are bad in our house like if you are leaving and he wants to come along he will go to his closet get a shirt then run to the door roll over on his back with the shirt in his mouth and wiggle back and forth while huffing and whining!! Or if you are packing a suitcase he will start packing his PJ's and toys then lay in the suitcase and talk like he is
