DOes anyone elses Yorkie do this? Alex is a huffer and a talker. He huffs when he is mad, wants something, or is trying to tell you something. He, also, maeks little groaning sounds. As he has gotten older he seems to becoming more vocal. He has such a personality and this emphasizes it. We all think it is adorable. Has anyone else experienced this?

Isn't is funny? Gus huffs when I'm not quick enough getting him out of his crate in the morning. It's his way of telling me the service here is not up to his standards.

That is so cute. Alex huffs sometimes to get in on a conversation...it is like he is saying my turn.... I just love that about their personalities...too cute...

Yes, I love how "vocal" yorkies seem to be and I don't mean barking. I love the individual growls and gurgles and gooos that come from them. It is very expressive and we know exactly what they are saying. It's such fun.

Alex and his "huffs" sound really hilarious!

Pita does a lil grrrrrrufff when she wants my attention!! So cute!!

bettyeanne · 04-20-2005, 01:25 PM

I am soooo happy to know that other Yorkies "talk"!

We have been trying to figure out what Toto is saying since we brought her home! She very seldom barks but she will "talk" to us in a strange sounding little Yorkie voice especially if Patrick and I are talking to each other ... it's like she is trying to voice her opinion! She is especially bad about it when we are talking on the phone! Sometimes we can't even hear the other person! If you make similar sounds to her, she will carry her little conversations on for a long, long time!!

Ooohhh, that is too cute. They always have to be the center of attention.

Sully snores at night, and whenever we have to bother him out of his sleep he makes a frustrated groan, as if to remind us that, hello, he's trying to sleep here.

He also huffs....we laugh and call him "Napoleon Dynamite" even - have you seen that movie? LOL! I tease Sully sometimes and call him "Little Napoleon" because of that!

Gotta LOVE their cute little personalities! I see more of Sully's intelligence and personality every day and he just amazes me!

I have a home full of jabber jaws! One will actually grumble when she is mad like a little old lady talking under her breath. LOL

iheartyorkies · 04-20-2005, 02:41 PM

Bo grumbles too! It's like a little old man muttering to himself telling me to hurry up and get that harness on so he can go out and do his business!! I love Yorkies!!

Peanut's Mommy · 04-20-2005, 03:25 PM

Peanut stomps?? then she trying talking to us. It is the cutest thing. We were at PetsMart today and she started barking and growling till the cashier paid attention to her then she stopped.

myguyalex · 04-20-2005, 04:20 PM

Laughs** Too cute... Alex stomps and rolls a lot. I forgot, my boyfriend reminded me, he does this Dolphin noise. It sounds like literally when a dolphin talks...He doesn't do it all the time... You are priviledged to hear it when he does...
