Does your yorkie huff and sneeze at you if you are ignoring them? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Wallee · 01-17-2014, 10:47 AM

Sometimes when Wallee brings a toy that he wants thrown and he is not being acknowledged he will huff then sneeze. I have teased him sneezing back and he will return the sneeze. He will do this 2 or three times before getting really mad and barking.

Tibbe snorts if I ignore. He also growls and grouses and gets right in my face if I ignore him too long. Ignoring a Yorkie is an unforgivable sin to them!

That's cute. Wallee also does all those growls and grouses. It then escallates to the sneeze and then heaven forbid if its still not "all about Wallee" the barks start.

Yep. Sounds all too familiar!

ShowGirlLola · 01-17-2014, 11:51 AM

Lola mostly growls and grumbles. If that doesn't work she barks.

My poodle used to sneeze if she was insulted. "You're such a punk!" *sneeze*

My Yorkie doesn't, but my Shih Tzu does

chattiesmom · 01-17-2014, 05:02 PM

Lollie is usually in one of the heated beds OR she is woofing at me to throw her toy.

Lacie has an "oof" that sounds like something between a bark and a cough.

The three pups are much less discrete. The bark and yap at me and if that doesn't work they aren't opposed to pulling at my pants leg or jumping up on my leg and digging like they are trying to make it to China.

Love them all, but sometimes......

Maximo · 01-17-2014, 06:02 PM

These are all cute.

Love Wallee's return sneeze volley.

Max has all kinds of interesting noises to get our attention if we fail to see him sitting politely for what he wants. He is like Astro, Scooby Doo, and Chewbacca rolled into one.

My favorite is when he resorts to softly saying "woof" like a human.

If I leave Jenna anywhere (bedroom, chair in the front room, etc.) and don't return for her promptly, even if it seems like she's happily snoozing I will soon hear what we call the 'dreaded ear flappy'...then a solid sneeze or two...then the feet (toenails) ticking on the floor as she bolts out looking for me. She also does the digging on my leg at a furious pace, which can get uncomfortable if I haven't trimmed her claws lately. 0_0
What's even more endearing (but in a sad way) is the 'squee' she will do when I've got to go out and leave her with my daughter, and then the all out whine that I get greeted with on my return. Breaks my heart every time.

chestermama · 01-17-2014, 06:44 PM

cheester will do the sneeze stuff, its to funny

capt_noonie · 01-17-2014, 08:41 PM

Oh yes. Sneezes and huffs abound daily!

yorkiefan_ · 01-17-2014, 08:53 PM

Cookie gets hopping mad; e.g., she will jump up on two legs over and over and bark and/or growl until I either throw her toy or spin her food bowl, depending on if she wants to play or eat.

Zoey Zendaya · 01-17-2014, 08:54 PM

My last little girl did the sneeze thing, which was so funny then all her hair ended up in her face so she got the attention!
Zoey is a polite little thing and sits pretty , head cocked patiently waiting attention...then if you don't come to play she will softly "erf" , then take off to her baby toy on the floor and walk on it and it starts off saying " Let's Play!" And goes thru the abc's. When YOU appear to see what's going on, she is waiting and watching and LEAPs in the air and runs for the ball before you can get away...lol!

cgal1977 · 01-17-2014, 09:41 PM

Teddy totally sneezes at me when he answers me or if he wants my attention.

wemple2 · 01-17-2014, 09:43 PM

Yeah I guess you could call it a sneeze/cough. But Winston does it very quietly at first...but the longer he's ignored, the louder he gets. Then, if still not acknowledged...he'll toss his toy at you. Hubby and I just giggle...and ask him what do you want? lol...poor mistreated dog.
